During the Covid-19 pandemic, many people were affected, ranging from being furloughed by companies with the now familiar term WFH (Work From Home), and even the worst-case scenario of being laid off. One who experienced this was Sanberhub candidate, Dimas Ikbalul Aulia.
Dimas was one of the individuals affected by the pandemic last year. He initially secured a remote job and freelanced, but October 2020 marked the end of his employment as his contract with the company he worked for was not renewed.
Certainly, feelings of anxiety and worry engulfed Dimas at that time. It wasn’t just about losing his job, but also because we know the situation was very tense, with many lives lost due to the pandemic.
“Behind every difficulty, there is always ease,” yup, we often hear that term, and it happened to Dimas. It all started when Dimas accidentally saw a flyer for the “Super Bootcamp NodeJS” and “Placement at a company.” Without hesitation, he applied and eventually passed the selection process after going through technical tests and interviews from Sanberhub.
He encountered various lessons, tasks, and challenges during this Super Bootcamp. He learned many new things during this Bootcamp, from the fundamentals to the overview of technologies in the Software Development industry. The Super Bootcamp broadened his knowledge about the IT world and its related fields.
Dimas’s career journey found a bright spot when he was declared successful to be placed in one of Sanberhub’s partner companies engaged in oil and gas as a Web Developer. He could work without leaving home because the job chose the WFH method and didn’t require on-site presence, so he still felt safe during the pandemic.
From Dimas’s story, it’s evident that when we’re facing difficulties, it could actually be a time when we’re given a greater opportunity. Of course, it’s not easy; it requires consistency, commitment, and perseverance in continuous learning until we can overcome those difficulties and find the light at the end of the tunnel.
