The last time I experienced being an applicant was for my internship last summer. I applied for a company that was well known back in my country. It was a unicorn company and therefore I know that applying for the intern will be hard. However, I was lucky enough to know someone working there and I got help with the application process. My qualifications were also enough to apply for an internship position in the company. When I applied, I did not get an answer for a couple of months which gave me the impression of how competitive the hiring process is. The long wait also made think that I did not get the internship since it took longer than expected and since I heard from other people how competitive it is getting hired by the company. However, I desired to intern there since the company was one of Indonesia\u2019s leading company. When I finally got the interview, I found out how flexible their hours were. I became more interested in joining since I also value work hours. I also was able to get my job description and the interviewer explained in short of the responsibility that I would be handling. I also saw that the position will give me more experience and be related to my major. Their mission statement also gave a good impression to me and I got a clear idea on how the company culture is like during the interview. Overall I was sure that I really wanted to get the internship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
