An Opportunity

Hi Everyone, back with me Arina at Digital Diary!


My journey as a product designer is not always smooth. I’ve tried to apply for an internship as a product designer/UI-UX designer starting in the 3rd semester. Every day I hunted a job seeker account and apply almost 20 jobs each day but nothing results. At that time I almost wanted to give up because none of the companies I applied for work did not call me for an offering letter. And it always ends at the interview stage.


But my prayers have finally been answered. Suddenly, my cell phone rang from a number not listed in my contacts. After I picked it up, it turned out that one of the financial company I had applied called me. I was invited for an interview that same day. Finally, I got an interview and did the case study that was given.

The next day I was invited to another interview to talk about the offering letter, salary agreement, working hours, etc. It's really nice.

A week has passed since the last interview, but the offer letter has not yet arrived. I tried to chat with the head of tech. But the response was: "yes, mba, it's being prepared". OK, I'm still waiting.


---//---


Another week passed and I again chatted with him to ask for confirmation. And the response is: "The file is still being searched". Oke, I’m still waiting …

One month passed. I have given up hope of becoming a product designer. And I have no expectations at all with this company. I tried to apply again to another company.

Fast forward, to be precise in the 6th semester on March 15, I received an email from the CEO of Ojire, the fintech company I told you above. He asked me “Arina, are you still looking for a job?”. 


After waiting almost 1year, he followed up me again. Actually I feel confused, what should I do? I mean, I feel ashamed if they just do the same thing. But I tried to answer “yes” because this time the CEO himself sent me an email directly.


Without waiting long, he asked me to do the interview again and talk about things that had been delayed before. Finally, we both agree and onboarding will be done.


I’m happy to be part of this extraordinary team. I learned a lot about financial (business) although sometimes there are some new financial vocabulary that I don’t know.


Until now, I’ve designed a lot of platforms for OJIRE. I’m glad because they trusted me to develop it. I hope what I’ve created will help a lot of users and increase business needs. 


Ojire in love!

Kekecewaan hadir karena ekspektasi dan kenyataan yang jomplang. Apalagi manajemen ekspektasi masih menjadi barang langka, tidak terkecuali pada pelayanan kesehatan. Apa yang akan dikompromi jika dibayar murah? Tentunya dari pelayanannya. Ini kali pertama keluarga gue pake BPJS. Kecewa? Banget.  8x dibuat muter2 pindah rumah sakit karena sistem BPJS yang merepotkan.  2x rumah sakit menolak karna alat gak lengkap.  Dan 4x dokter melakukan USG di rumah sakit yg berbeda dengan hasil analisa penyakit yang berbeda juga.  Ada yg bilang kanker rahim. Miom. Kanker usus. Sampai terakhir pemeriksaan, dokter bilang TBC perut.  Kok bisa? Mana yang benar?  Gue pun juga ga tau.  Dan setiap pernyataan dokter masih diikuti kata “kayaknya” seolah-olah juga ga yakin dengan omongannya. Bagaimana bisa orang sakit penyakit nya berubah ubah dalam waktu 1 bulan?  Bagaimana bisa gue yakin sama ucapannya klo masih ada kata 'kayaknya' ditiap penjelasan.  Dokternya bingung, kita yang orang awam juga jadi

Hi, back with me, Arina, di My Digital Diary! Crazy excited to tell y’all about my new year’s eve. It was such memorable moment that I’ve never tried before. In last December, means December 31st 2022, My friends and I decided to camp in Anak Kaki Gunung Wilis, Jawa Timur. Fyi, Anak Kaki Gunung Wilis has a height of 1500mdpl, so it is quite safe for beginner. We prepared only 7 hours and start to go at 8pm. It such a random, fast, and super crazy trip!!! We rent some tents, bought some meals, and riding to go there. Riding from the boarding house to the camping site was approximately 2 hours. It was quite extreme because both sides of the forest and roads were very quiet, even though it was New Year's Eve. Fortunately, the trip went smoothly and there were no problems at all. —;;— At 10.00pm Arriving at the campsite, everything was really full. Actually, I was a bit worried that we won't get a place, because we are not prepared and haven't made a reservation. But luckily ag
