The Colorful Work World
Ch. 32 Interview Tests, End of the Test

The next exam is conducted after the announcement on their website. The announcement will appear in the next few weeks. Since the time of the announcement was still long, I decided to go back home and teach again. Fear too long off teaching students. The school will see me again.

"You sure Ray wants to go home, don't want to be here first?"

“the pengenya is Yangti, but there is still a duty to teach. Can not be left, sorry his students did not meet this handsome teacher." I said with a smile and hugged Eyang.

He just laughed, hearing jokes from me. After I finished cleaning the goods, I went to the airport to be escorted by Arip.

Using his motor matic, we headed to the airport. The departure time is still long because I chose to go to the airport before the departure time. Avoid the possibility of late boarding of the aircraft.

"Be careful on the road" said Arip while Salim told me.

"You are also careful. The spirit of college, soon you want to graduate right"

We didn't talk too long because the current position is on the road. It doesn't feel good that we are interfering with people's traffic just because of our chat.

The journey home is like I'm leaving. Waiting in the waiting room, getting on a plane, getting off the plane, taking DAMRI to the destination, then taking public transportation to get home.

Usually get off DAMRI contact the house to pick up. But because I was lazy to wait, I better go home by public transport alone.

After I made it back, the task like teacher I usually do until the test announcement comes out.

*several weeks later*

*Ting*

I got a notification from my email. The content of the email was the announcement of the results of the written test that I took. Without any length I opened their official website. Before I read it, I said Basmalah first.

'bismillah, may you succeed in graduating' My prayer in heart.

Then I noticed the names of the participants who passed one by one. After some time passed, I saw my name listed as a participant of the next stage of the test.

"Yes!" I screamed and stood up from the chair.

Luckily I did this at home so it's not embarrassing to not be seen. The parents were also inside the room so my voice would most likely not reach them.

I recorded clearly when the date of the exam this time was done. Then I immediately took care of the departure again with the same vehicle method. Because it's faster and more convenient than passing a land vehicle.

Parents are glad to hear this news. They'll take me to the DAMRI terminal and pay for my plane ticket. Just like the previous departure.

While waiting for the exam date, I prepared everything that would be tested. From practice to interview.

Fortunately there is Mbah internet so it is easy to find a lot of information that we need. Unfortunately, many hoaxes have sprung up, so be careful. Must be wise in surfing the internet. Do not let what we read be false information and become useless. Just spend time and quota.

*One day before test*

Test time is coming soon, I have departed from my village to Jogjakarta. Standby myself there. I also prepared physically and mentally to be excellent during the exam. Not funny later if even failed the exam just because of dizziness or colds.

Because it was different from the previous test, this time I had to bring a personal laptop for the practice exam. The clothes should also be neat because there will be an interview test later. Appearance is a reflection of self. It should be neat and pleasing to the eye.

After everything was ready, I left by borrowing Arip's motorbike. Fortunately, he was not using his motorcycle. I calmly went to the exam place safely and was not jockeying.

I met Sarah back at the exam site. It seems he also passed the writing exam.

"You're here too, Ray, congratulations on passing the writing test." Sarah smiled at me.

"Congratulations to you too" I also returned the smile he gave me.

We said stale for a while then re-prepared for the upcoming test. But it turns out I made a mistake. Due to the lack of information I have.

At first I thought the interview test would be done the first time, it turns out that the practice exam first will be done. There has been no preparation for this. Hopefully, the things I learned a few days ago will be enough for the practice exam this time.

Moreover, my laptop is still the first version so it is quite slow to use work. Storage devices are not SSD. If not in the settings first, the boot will be long later. Can be critical if the exam time is used up just to boot this laptop.

"Participants, please enter this room." The examination supervisor had already opened the door and allowed the participants to enter.

"Come, Sarah we've been called" I said, taking Sarah inside.

Sarah nodded then followed me to enter the room. The room has AC and has prepared several tables for us to put our laptops.

Each participant occupies one table and is spaced with another table. Plugs are also available for all tables. This makes me relieved because my laptop will not work otherwise while in cas. I hope I don't have electricity during the exam.

"Test time starts now" said the committee, looking at the prepared hours.

Me and the participants who played live quickly did the task given. There's enough about what I received. With the time given, will I be able to successfully complete it?

*two hours later*

“Test time is over, please give your test results into this flash"

One by one the participants put their test results into Flashdisk. I'm pretty worried there's going to be a virus in her. Luckily after I plugged into the laptop, the thing I was afraid of didn't happen. It could be dangerous if there is a virus, because in my laptop does not use an antivirus application at all.

It is very dangerous if a virus enters our computer. The impact that will arise from computers to slow down, to dangerous circumstances such as our personal data traded. Especially if there is valuable data in it, it can increase the risk.

I gave the flash to another participant after I finished entering my data. Then all the participants went to prepare for the next test, the interview.

"how was Ray's test?"

Sarah asked me after coming out of the room. Sarah and I briefly discussed the exam we had. While chatting, we walked downstairs to the next test room..

The practice exam is conducted upstairs while the interview exam is conducted downstairs. Before the exam, I pray at the nearest mosque first.

"Test waiting room here huh." I asked the person sitting in the waiting room.

"Yes right, you want an interview too?"

I nodded then sat down at the provided place. Here too I saw people coming in and out of a room. It seems like every job has a different test room. I also see them applying different tests to each job.

The people beside me also registered as the same position as me. Even though we are rivals, there is no harm in me chatting casually with them. We talked about a few things, especially about the practice tests we just did.

"Sir Ray, come in. please."

I don't think the test time has come. Before I was summoned, several people had already entered and exited the room. But there's not much they tell us about what they're doing inside.

He will not give details about the question given. Because basically, here we all compete with each other. There is no benefit in giving leaked interview questions to other participants.

"I'm going in first."

"Monggo mas."

After parting ways with them, I entered the room after knocking on the door first. This first impression when knocking on the door also affects the interview test score. More or less, according to the article I read.

"Come in"

"Assalamualaikum sir"

"Waalaikumsalam, please sit Mr. Ray"

I sat down after being invited by the officer. With perfect attitude and good speech. I try my best to answer the questions I am asked.

Unfortunately, I most likely failed at the organization. Because it's hard to remember information from this place. The history alone can be up to several chapters if published in the history book.

I couldn't answer many of the officers' questions. Most likely this will be a minus value for me. After some time passed, I finally finished this test.

The interview is divided into two tests, organization and profession. For the organization, I may be less shrewd. But for the profession I believe managed to answer the question well.

After the interview I tried to fare cool. Shake the hands of the officer who tested me. All the stages of the test have been completed, I return to my Eye home with a feeling of relief. Finally all the tests are done.

I didn't see Sarah when she finished the test, but she probably went home first. Just like the previous test, I returned home to work while waiting for the next announcement. It doesn't feel good for too long in school and doesn't teach students in school.

*Some weeks later*

"As I thought" I replied while pondering the results of the test I got.

My hunch is right, I didn't manage to pass the exam this time. Most likely due to practice and organizational exams. Unfortunately no score was announced, so I couldn't see which part was lacking from my efforts. And how to fix that.

'hopefully I will get a better job later.' I close the laptop while re-thought the steps of the tests I have done. At least this failed experience will be useful later.

Fortunately, my mother continued to encourage me to return to find another job, while my father as usual only advised me to be more active in finding a job. But with a little bit of a tinge and underestimate.

Fortunately, this news did not affect my sleep. I still sleep well as usual. Indeed the name if the body is tired, yes it will automatically sleep. Uniquely, tonight I even dreamed what it was like to work at my test place the other day. Dreams that have not been delivered.
