From the Kitchen to the World of Finance

After working for about three months in the kitchen, I was given the opportunity to move to an admin position at Cafe Suwara, which aligned more closely with my educational background in Office Automation and Governance (OTKP) from vocational school. I felt very happy and comfortable because I could finally work in a field that matched my skills. Interestingly, when I first applied, the admin position was actually the one I wanted, but I didn’t pass the interview and was eventually placed in the kitchen instead. However, the experience in the kitchen became a valuable stepping stone.

Eventually, I was given a new challenge: joining the cooperative as a finance staff member. This transition brought a significant change in how I thought and worked. I learned a lot about financial management, recording transactions, and making the right decisions when facing financial issues. Each challenge shaped me into a more mature and responsible individual.

Beyond the valuable work experience, I am also deeply grateful to PT Borneo Indobara’s CSR program for giving me the opportunity to receive a scholarship for a bachelor’s degree in Mining Engineering. This program has become a major motivation for me to continue developing myself and contributing more to society and the surrounding community. As a village agent, I see this program not only as a job opportunity but also as a platform for learning and personal growth.

I believe this program will continue to develop young people who are ready to become future leaders, both in the workplace and in their communities. My hope is that more village agents can receive the same opportunity I did, so we can work together to build a better future.
