What Happened Two Years Ago

Hi there :)

So I enrolled--again--in IELTS Preparation Class at EEP. It's been about two weeks and I enjoy it, as usual, join an English course is always exciting thing to do. EEP has moved from Dago to Diponegoro since last year so it is a new place for me. And also apparently they have some new teacher members, so I've been taught by 5 teachers until now, including Agung and Jim--my teachers when I took the IELTS class two years ago.

Last night I had Jim as the teacher and in the end of the class, Jim asked, "So, Hawa, what's new?". And I was like, "Hey, you still remember me! Well.."

So I told Jim that I'm planning to take the test on March 14 and we talked about the part (writing!) that I need to do some extra practices. But then Jim's question is like a reminder to me, as if this blog also asks the same question about how life has brought me for the last two years.

I checked my entry blog and realized that I haven't written anything about my job. I don't know why, maybe it was because I didn't have much time or I didn't want to brag about it (what should I brag about by the way? :p).

I've worked for Pinteraktif Media since 2012 as an Instructional Designer. (There! There should answer all the questions! No?)

It started when a friend of mine offered a job as writer in Koran Kampus in the late 2011. I rejected the offer because I wanted to find another job options and I actually I wanted to stay away from any obligations for a while :p. I also searched some information about scholarships and master stuff (hence the IELTS test), then there was the LondonMet incident, and so on. I was actually torn between "do master" and "get a job". But after a year without any fruitful attempt, I asked my friend who offered me the Koran Kampus job.

He then referred me to contact the admin of Pinteraktif, because somehow the Koran Kampus "has changed" into Pinteraktif, and because he didn't work at it anymore. So I called and they offered me to be a freelance scriptwriter. After went through some sort of test, I was accepted and be given task to write 3 scripts for 3 e-learning contents. What I liked about it was I wrote the script that resembles a movie script. I've always love all about movies, so when it has something to do, especially, with writing, I was very pleased.

So after 3 months, I was thinking to continue my work permanently in Pinteraktif. In the same time, they were also searching for people to be an instructional designer. Then I was asked to be one and as a unemployment, I gladly accepted (of course they interviewed me before). Voila! I'm an instructional designer until now.

I knew nothing about it honestly, but then I thought to give it a try. That was December 10, 2012, I was officially became Pinteraktif employee. I was squealing inside when I saw my formal Pinteraktif email, haha weird, but I actually fond of that kind of identity. I was scheduled to have a 3-months probation phase before given the real instructional designer job. So I worked 8-5 at LPM ITB (originally Pinteraktif founders were LPM ITB members so they were like sister-company or something, but due to some events, the two institutions are now independent on their own), learned and did some multimedia work.

So that was the beginning of my journey in Pinteraktif. Lots of things happened, of course, and I think I better tell ya more in the next post. ;)
