Well, I had my first job interview today. A job which was recommended by my cousin. Actually I didn't want to apply for this one, as I have promised to myself that I want to have a job which I find by myself and no family nor friends are inside that company. I really want to stop on depending on my family and friends. But my father told me to apply for this job, as my cousin guaranteed that I will be accepted. So I arrived 8 am sharp and I was almost late. I was told to wait for a while and around 10 mins later I was asked to enter a room with a girl. First, we were asked to fill the identity form and I was so stupid as I forgot to bring a pen. So I decided to borrow it from the HRD girl. After some time, we submitted the identity form and we had the psycho tests. There were 7 sections and we spent like 2 hours to finish the whole test. Then the girl was asked to go home to wait any news from the company, meanwhile I went directly to the interview session. I was brought by the head of the department to the head of HRD room. Well, they were not look like bad guy, but what I wasn't satisfied was the salary. I wrote 2.5 millions and the head of HRD said it was too high. He said I should be paid at the minimum wage which is 2 millions. I was like, hey man, my work will be harder than usual staff in your office! I will have to go to other cities for weeks! A big company like that can't give a good judgment for this kind of thing. Again, it's this city's culture. In the end, they offered me 2.3 millions and I said I need some time to decide whether I accept this or not. They give me time till Monday.
Well, it's not like I'm complaining too much, but please, you can't judge someone's salary only based on experience only, but the workloads also. I just have this simple thought, if I can teach a private accounting lesson for 4 students with 600k each, then I'll receive bigger amount of money and I just need to teach around 2 hours for that. It's simpler than a work which have to go to other cities for weeks. Now I understand why some people can stick to being a teacher/lecturer for the rest of their life. Well, am I losing my identity by thinking that way? I dunno, I just feel something wrong if I accept that offer. Dunno it's me who's getting worse each day or what. Should I leave my dream and start a realistic condition of mine? Should I become an educator instead? Haaaah, I'm tired God...
