I'm failed, broken & disappointed!
Another story of failure in my life.
it began with a call from someone from Bali translator, the pitchy young girl sound asked me kindly whether i'm available to get interview becoming one of the candidates to be an interpreter for an international forum. when i heard this for the first time , honestly i was less interested because of the theme is "Healthy". There's must be something about cancer or rare desease, i said to my self. However i 'd like to try and find out what it's more about.
Eventually, i escaped myself after office hours to meet Mr. Alex in Bali Translation office. Mr. Alex is a descendants chinese fat guy, very friendly and smart. We talked both in Indonesian and English due to he wanted to know how good is my English skill. He explained many things and about the topic that really diffrent with my imagination. In the first place the forum that will be held on 19 - 21 January in Le Meridian Hotel, Nusa Dua Bali, is discussing about disseminating of Positive Deviance Initiave that help community to solve their problem relate to behavioral and social change ; for more about PDI you may click :
http://www.positivedeviance.org/The good things about this are they need interpreter a lot (means i have big chance to be selected) and they'll pay much , more than i expected which is Rp. 1 million /Day , All inclusive ( meal & transport) means i can buy a ring that i've been dreaming , a golden ring with a tiny diamond on it. Practically the interpreters will be in task since Monday , 18 January though the forum itself will be held on Jan 19 - 21, but the user wanted the all interpreters to be around the guests since Monday to learn their accents because they come from many diffrent countries.
Shortly, i passed the first interview and he conducted me to meet the user for the next interview, later i knew as Miranda, i thought she's English but has been staying for long time in Indonesia, since she speaks Indonesia very nice. The interview with Mirand ran quite well i think, evenmore she even said " i'm looking for to meet you on Monday". I hope i didn't misheard , and the dream of having diamond ring in my finger became close to real.
Mr Alex, said that he would make a call to whom candidates passed the test. Actually i was waiting but not with great expectation, i felt litle bit unwell and the forum need fullday job.
It's Sunday and still no news, i decided to call Mr. Alex, he said the number of interpreter needed decreased became four only. Okay, i'll make it clear to myself if i had this job, there are many things have to be prepared, and cure my heallth A.S.A.P, if not , i'll take medicine and sleep well and it'll come another chance (i hope).
As the title above you know the end of this story. Some one called me indeed , Sunday afternoon, and she said sorry , maybe next time because the number needed has decreased not as a lot as Mr. Alex said before.
She called instead of messaged me, and i appreciated it. :-)
