I OWE YOU: My Internship at NET. (1)

Hello, Its July, my favorite month <3 I started to pay the debt! Enjoy the first part of My Internship Story!

[HOW IT STARTED]

As someone that just came back from “dreamland”, I needed some times to adjust. HAHA its too much. What I wanted to say is, I just came back from my exchange semester or 132 amazing days in South Korea where all I could remember is the happiness, alhamdulillah. So, I gained more confident (in a positive way) to challenge myself even more. More challenges, more happiness, I felt.

I fairly had no idea how to act like a 3rd year- engineering student before. So, how I welcomed my 6th semester is by having the excitement feeling. At that time, some friends, well most, have started to talk about preparing their summer internship. And you must know, the first word coming up to my mind is “my summer must be fun and full of challenge”. Yup, I should jump to the preparation too <3

However, sadly, too sad to share HAHA. In short, I could not have my internship on this coming summer because of uncompleted credits as I skipped one semester for exchange. Since that day, I knew, I better looked for something to do in my summer instead of being sad and jealous of my friends and their internship updates.

[FIRST LOVE ON 2014]

On April 2014, I granted a chance to visit NET. (News and Entertainment Television) together with other scholars under a foundation. Personally, news has been one of the interesting topics for me; I joined news club and newscaster practice in high school, I at that time owned a role as the vice of public relation of an organization.

This television was not even one-year-old at that time, yet I have fallen for it! It is literally super cool and positive television I might say  They committed to sharing only positive news and entertain people in smart ways since then I completely on their side. As I could just watch TV like several times a month, I unquestionably would just see NET., honestly. HAHA

[ANTI-MAINSTREAM]

I am currently majoring in Bioprocess Engineering under Department of Chemical Engineering, you should know this first.

To continue, I then started to browse some international/national event in summer 2016. Around 10 pm, all by myself, in my room, suddenly the page showed “NET Internship Program April Period” ( http://career.netmedia.co.id/# ). I read it very carefully, yet so fast. I should apply and be part of this industry, I felt. 

The time to complete and submit the application was less than 2 hours. I could not ask anyone (I charged my phone at this time and its off). Only I and Allah HAHA and I felt that I was ready for it and got on track. I began to compose a motivation letter (based on my personal value and story above). After that, I explored my computer’s folder and found some other required documents. Tell you the truth, I believed it would be perfect if I saw the info earlier. (The requirement is on the link I just shared too.)

I finally applied exactly some minutes before 00.00. However, I did not get any news on the promised day.

Sorry it would be very tiring for you to read at once :3 (to be continued)

Thank you!
