When I was still a student, I really don’t mind what’s next after school. What I did is just school-house-play-house-school. I don’t even think what if I finished school, what would I do? Is there a good job waiting for me? Or even asking myself can I land a job right after my graduation?


Well, luckily, I was so blessed that I got a job after I graduated. I worked first as a web developer for almost three months. It’s about three months also when I got hired as a programmer in a foreign based company. Although I can say that I had a good job right now, but having this kind of job is not easy. First, I must be able to familiarize the whole program, thousands of lines of codes actually, which is very difficult for me because you don’t know where to start. But again, this is a must so I must. Second is the shift schedule. We are having a day and night shift schedule so I had to make some adjustments because I am not used to of being nocturnal. Big adjustments over there actually.


But thinking of many people who are jobless today, I must say, “I love my job”. I have friends who are still hunting and hoping that someday they can have a stable job at last. I can fell the pressure on them, afraid of ending up into a jobless graduate. They said it was really hard and tiresome hopping from one company to another submitting resumes and waiting for their calls. Some say they need EXPERIENCED applicants but how can we get that experience if we don’t get hired? Confusing.


Sometimes I can say that being a student is much better than looking for a job. But this is the real world. We have no other choice but to live with it.
