The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

interview test.failed it?

The next morning, after helping his mother open the stall, Budi was already preparing with a black – white suit. All the files – files he needs he put in the bag. Deliberately he left early, so as not to rush –. He also wanted to review what he had learned about the company he was going to. In a way, that knowledge will help during the interview process.

When I arrived at the location, there was already someone waiting as well. Be greeted by a beautiful receptionist who smiles cheaply. The receptionist asked to fill out the attendance list first, while waiting for the test to begin.

Budi nodded – nods. It turns out that of all the people on the list, some are scholars. No less than ten people are already scholars. The rest, SMK graduates seem to.

He was asked by the receptionist, smiling to himself. He laughed, ashamed of himself, smiling to himself. He explained that he was only a graduate of SMK, while there are some of the applicants, is a graduate of Setrata one. For some reason, the receptionist gave spirit to Budi. He said, the windfall is already in order.

Seconds change minutes, minutes almost change hours. The longer the more people come. Be a little pessimistic to see it. Usually the need for PPIC will not be as much as production. If you sign up this much, it is too unlikely to penetrate.

Usut had a stretcher, it turns out some of them are registrants for the production part. Be more optimistic. By less than half, the chance was already fifty percent greater. Twenty people signed up as PPIC.

When the entrance test begins, one by one the names are called for the interview. Especially for production purposes, the test takers were moved to other areas. Because the method of testing is also different.

“Budi Utomo” Brothers

The voice of the loud test officer called out Budi's name. He hurried to the test room. File – file is researched. Two certificates of the race ‘quality control cyrcle’ enough to confiscate the interview committee.

Be asked to introduce himself. With enthusiasm, Budi introduced himself as a person, continued by describing his achievements during his work in the company before.

“If our brother choose to join us, what is your work plan?” ask one of the examiners.

“The basic task of PPIC is to ensure the commitment that the company has made with the customer, runs as agreed. On time, right amount, right quality. The descent, which is related to being on time, is doing efficiency. Related to quality, yes improvement, which relates to the exact amount, maintain supply chain” replied Budi.

“What is efficient, improved, and maintained?” ask the examiner again.

“The most difficult to form it, habit. If the employee, his soul is only the soul of the worker, yes. He only needs to go to work, do what he is told, out of work, go home. They do not think that if they work while chatting, do a lot of unproductive things, yes they will not be able to add other than normative. Hollow setting, to be assembled into a furniture frame, can reduce the time of one second, can add how many units in one day? Say can add two units, greetings one month of production capacity increased by how much? If it is appreciated at the end of the year, is it not a pity if the bonus is lost just because it does not want to spur?” reply Budi.

“We have year-end bonuses. In fact the same, do not add prolif” cut the tester.

“Already done efficiency, have you?” ask Budi. The examiners fell silent.

“Then regarding quality, what is improved?” ask another tester.

“If the tools are complete, yes habit. His attitude will be a time bomb. The important thing is checked, but not utilizing all the tools. Waiting for a case, just make improvements, instead of doing preventive. And this prevention, involving all parties. Including the management. Never flirt about quality, especially safety. The production person must also understand the quality, must understand the final target. So that it will also think again about the parameters of the machine. If it gets hot, the quality of the material will change. The specs will shift, it could be down to quality. Quality control, especially. Different visuals should not be underestimated. Shabby, a sign of heat. Woven parts, do not want to accept the non-qualified quality. Restore. Often the parts are familiar. So the tolerance is too great. The leader is a neighbor, the supervisor is sodara, yes. Where can it increase, productivity?” answer me, at length. The examiners fell silent.

“Good then, we think enough. Please wait to return for the writing test. Later we will announce, who is – who passed the test write, and who should repeat in the upcoming opportunity” said one of the testers.

“Good, thanks for the opportunity given. Good afternoon” pamit Budi.

“Siang”

Get out of the interview test room. Some people smiled at him. Some also ask, about how the atmosphere inside. Budi just said that inside, it's the same as the final trial. Ask the receptionist where he can buy drinks. The receptionist replied, it's on the side. There is a small cafeteria next to this office.

I bought two bottles of tea. He took her back to the waiting room. The receptionist was confused when Budi handed one of the bottles tea to her. Budi said, this as gratitude for his kindness shows the source of the spring. Budi kelakar sumpat raises laughter from test takers. Greeting, the gift of Budi was received with pleasure by the receptionist.

After about an hour of waiting, arrived the awaited time – wait. All participants are gathered in a room. The room was located on the second floor of the office building. And one of the testers came in with a piece of paper. All eyes were on the paper.

“Good, father –bapak, mother – mother, mas – mas, mbak – mbak. In my hands, it has been written the names - the names of all. For those I mentioned his name, sorry, have to repeat in the upcoming opportunity”

The sentence made the atmosphere tense. It felt even more tense than when we first entered this room.

“And who should repeat in the upcoming occasion, is, “

All backs looked upright as if preparing to hear bad news. Only the Budi does not.

“Please excuse me, sodara Budi Utomo”

He was shocked to hear his name called. He was silent, not moving. He was still unable to accept, his hopes dashed at the first step. But then he realized. Perhaps his words were too harsh for his class of workers.

“Good sir. Thank you for the opportunity given to me” Java Budi.

“Stay spirit ya” said the tester. He nodded and smiled at Budi.

“Mas Budi”

A woman called from behind him. Look back. The examiner was standing on the doorstep of the office he was passing by.

“Ya?” reply Budi.

“Can come with me?” ask again. Think for a moment, what is this?

“Bisa” reply Budi.

Budipun followed the female examiner earlier. His gaze was straight at the examiner. No matter the few employees behind the partition to his left, glanced at him and someone smiled at him. At the other end of the blocky office, there was another, more closed office. The examiner invited me to enter the office.

“Please enter”

Inside the office, there was a middle-aged man, probably fifty years old. He smiled kindly and let Budi sit on the sofa. The examiner also sat down with the middle-aged man.

“Erika, already tell me everything said the old man, pointing at the woman.

“He, sir Paul, the head of this factory” said the Erika, introducing her boss.

“Oh, ready” reply Budi.

“You must be sad yes, until lemes?” ask Paul sir.

“Em, yes. I just don't know yet, have to say what my mother's same”

“Ya just said you accepted work”said mr. Paul. Budu.

“Pak, if asked, have eaten what not, I can lie. But if asked, accepted work or not, how should I lie?”

“What told you to lie to who?”

“Sorry, mean Mr?”

“I, intentionally misahin you from others. Because they have nothing to meet my expectations” replied paul. Still waiting for its continuation.

“Let them busy with that test – test. Now, you read this contract clause. Ask what salary?” continued mr paul.

Now I smile wide. The highlight of his eyes exuded an aura of optimism and an enormous fighting spirit.

He carefully read the article by article in the letter of the employment agreement. The salary offered is more than enough. After all, the price of groceries in this city, is still much more affordable. According to Budi's calculations, he can still save, after paying the girls' tuition, and eat a day – days.

“I can sir, run everything in this work contract” said Budi.

“Ask what salary?” ask paul sir.

“As per UMK only, sir. That is enough” replied Budi.

“Your brain is expensive, you know. Enough with that salary?”

“That weight runs it, sir. That's what I have to prove first”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. Not wrong you, Er” comments paul sir while laughing. Erika just smiled.

“Ya already, call notraris” further sir Paul.

At that time, the agreement was signed by both parties. Paul still had time to ask again about the amount of salary that Budi asked. And Budi still remains with his stance, UMK.

“We have a lot of agenda in the next year. And the prospects are high. Right now, you need to get to know your work environment. Erika will give you a tour around the factory. He will introduce you to the – section of this company. Later I will follow” said mr. paul.

“Ready, pak”
