Bangkit! (2)
Ceritanya mulai dari bulan Desember tahun lalu…
23 Desember-Jakarta, Indonesia
Sebagai latihan, saya coba latihan interview ama perusahaan Jepang di Indonesia (biarpun latihan, semuanya real). Kebetulan ada koneksi dari bokapnya temen se-University. Interview sepanjang dua jem, all in japanese. Yah,…lumayan buat langkah pertama latihan interview. Setidaknya bisa tau suasana.
8 Januari 2007 - Nagano,Jepang
belajar buat Final Test di akhir bulan,…
Febuari 2007 - Tokyo, Jepang
Mulai keliling Jepang untuk Work Expo, dll… Dari sini, bisa mendapat informasi tentang perusahaan-perusahaan. Saya sendiri memaksakan diri untuk masuk ke papan atas, di mana persaingannya berat. Dan saya sadar bahwa saya adalah pelajar asing,…persaingan akan jauh lebih berat. Saya harus berjuang 3 kali lipat orang biasa. Jadi, targetin diri keliling 21 perusahaan. Karena orang Jepang yang lulusan Engineering rata-rata keliling 3 sampai 7 perusahaan.
Febuari 2007 - Maret 2007 - Osaka,Nagoya,Kobe,Yokohama,Tokyo,Nagano,Jepang
Sehari bisa dua atau tiga kali mengunjungi perusahaan yang berbeda. Dan sering kali ada di kota yang berbeda, jadi must keep on moving all the time, Sleeping in buses, trains, and cheap motels or capsule hotels. One thing about these capsule hotels, its like a dark coffin (literally speaking). I barely get back to my apartment, since most of the companies that I visited was outside Nagano. I remember missing my Mom’s 50th birthday. I wanted to go home for that day….Sorry, Mom…
23 Maret 2007 - Tokyo,Jepang
Got interviewed 2 times in a row with 2 different companies. Get back to the dark capsule as soon as I can coz got an SPI test the next morning.

27 Maret 2008 - Tokyo , Jepang
Never forget that day,….
7.30 AM Entered an Internet Cafe to check emails and wait for the next meeting which was not for about 6 hours. I though I could get some sleep since I didn’t sleep very well in the train. I was wrong,….
I recieved 3 emails, All Rejection emails,…2 of them are from 3 days ago’s interviews. 2 of them are in my most wanted list.
At that time,….. I felt like,…
I felt like,…
I wanted to shout and cry,….
But I can’t,….I was in an open booth, and got enough attention already from the guys around since I was wearing suits and neck-tie at that hour.
It’s so shocking, that I tumbled down, physically and mentally.
21.00 AM back to the ol’ dark capsule hotel. I was beated. I was down. inside the coffin, I can smell the guy next to mine. He was drunk alrite. Some snored like a dog-pig mixtured beasts they are. Without light, it was so dark.
So dark,…So tired,…So weak,…
Times,…
Spaces,…
Memories of the past,…
swiveled,…
