I am a confused IT-consultant-to-be

Posted by: Eunice Shertaria on: December 6, 2007

Today I had an interview for the final project internship at sta**plaza, the biggest internship advertisement company, so it’s like www.jobseeker.com, but primarily focus on internship-seeker..hehe..The interview was quiet unexpected because I was called this morning and decided to have the interview in the afternoon..So, I was unprepared but since I need to have an internship like next week, then I had to give it a try..hehe..

So, I went to the office, in the middle of light rain, huhu, it’s so cold..huu..When I arrived, the interviewer was in a meeting so I had to wait for few minutes. Finally, he came and asked me about myself and what my dream was, etc..And I told him everything about myself, where I came from, and so on. And when he asked me about my dream after I graduated..I, confidently, said:

“I want to be an IT consultant.”

He was surprised..He said that normally IT students would say the wanted to be a programmer..Ha!I’m an exception, for sure..hehe..Then the rest of the interview went well. We discussed about the possible project for me and, of course, the one that will support my dream..:) one thing that made me quite happy was when he told me that I’m more into information architect or analyst..not a programmer..yippie! they do understand me very well..

in the end, they offered me a project to manage a project..HAH?well, basically, they want to make a new CRM module, a big project. But they still have to make an analysis what the system should be, what are the most important information to be displayed, and other stuff that honestly I don’t really understand the detail..huu..but I think i’ll like the project since i will be involved with their customers or clients..and for sure, that will improve my communication skill, one thing that I must be good at in order to be a good consultant..:) but we’re still going to discuss the detail of the project on monday..so we’ll see what’ll happen.

But when i got back home, i received an email from ch****ft, the one that i told before, the one that worked in medical/hospital application. Apparently, they have an interesting project for me. Yippie! The project is about developing the next generation GUI for their main product, Hospital Information System. In doing this project, I have to understand about the work flow of hospital, so that the system will perfectly map the flow. As a final product, I should build a prototype. I am really interested in this project since I will learn something new outside the IT world, which is the hospital thingy..

So, now, here I am, confused..huu..

btw, yg di online communication itu (liat postingan sebelumnya), i am officially rejected due to lack of PHP expertise..dohh!
