Field of study
determination regards as an ending of career.
Someone who takes education program is considered to be teacher, law
faculty to be lawyer, and nursing academy gonna be nurse, etc. We looped at
that statement for years. But how if the engineer becomes a markeeter which is
two totally different world, financial and engineering. Mr Sunardi apparently gives
the evidence that he can do what looks impossible. He graduated from Pembangunan Vocational School mastering Electrical Engineering and now he is a marketing
manager assistant in one of BUMN. How can? Lets see.
Studying in Electronic Engineering
was not his desire. He wanted to be a Teaching School student but rejected. At
that time, there was only Special Skill Middle School registration still
opened. He declared himself to continue study and did not want to me a farmer
like others. He has to change his life whatever people said. Many people
speculate farmer's child will be a farmer too. Every day Mr Sunardi went to
school by riding a bicycle for two hours.
After graduated, Mr Sunardi applied
to all vacancies. He did not select it by requirement but if it was a job, he
applied. At that time, he said, getting a job is really hard. He had ever
worked at medicinal herbs company as sales and shaver in barber shop. Fortunately
he was a persistant job seeker, and accepted in one of Indonesian BUMN,
Perhutani.
Once he got the job, he was a
planting supervisor. I did not take many years he was pulled to be personal
driver of the manager. As the chauffeur, he worked on open space. It was little
difficult when he positioned in office. He spent eight years becoming chauffeur
and he had to learn all about administration. Mr Sunardi learned it deeper in
Forest Products Administration Basic Training, he got 28 rank of 34 people. He
just started to learn.
A year in administration, Mr Sunardi
learned leadership on Leadership Course I of Perhutani in Madiun. It was
changed his life. Before he was being busy with production and he turned to
marketing. He followed what his company wanted. It might be the company
considered he is able to do it. In Production, it was about planting and safety
of product. Additionally, in marketing, it should run the company policy to
look for potential customers. Both of them having their easiness and
difficulties. He officially moved to Marketing Division.
First career in Marketing, he was
the head of Wood Hoarding Place (TPK) Karangjati, Semarang, under Tegal
Business Independent Unit (KBM). Then being in succession; KTPK Bejen
Temanggung, KTPK Gambilangu Kendal, KTPK Cimanggu Cilacap, Asper KTPK
Banjarharjo Brebes, Asman Pati Mantingan Rembang KBM Sar Kayu Cepu, Asman Cepu
and Asman Randublatung.
Supporting his career, Mr Sunardi
keep learning like joining some courses from the company. After Leadership I Course,
he took Round and Sawed Wood Examiner Course KBM, Leadership II Course, and
Leadership II. All courses were held in Madiun Human Resources Training and
Educational Center.
The electrical engineering alumny
now is a Manager Assistant in Randublatung. Obviously, there are ups and downs
in marketing. The high is when the wood is sold out and the customers struggle
to buy. Contrary the low, if there is few customers, it needs extra energy to
look for new market. The income when it is quite is in 0-300 million Rupiah per
day. On the other hand, in crowded market, the income can be 300 million to 7
billion Rupiah per day. It was company's income for his area, of course.
As a farmer child, Mr Sunardi also
farms in his village, Rejosari, Grobogan. Moreover, the rice field was arranged
by his parents because his wife and children is in Kedungjati, Grobogan. Both
are in one area but quite far, it takes two hours. Thus, he managed as well as
possible to keep it up.
Mr Sunardi also gives his recipes
how to success; they are wholeheartedness, persistence, skillfullness, and
loyalty. When we doing something in earnestness, the result will be more than
you expected.
