sutanhartanto, by that do you mean you prefer to be unemployed? But by the sound of it it seems you'd like to establish your own business or work freelance.

..i like that too.. atleast, if you are your own boss, then you can have your own decision, manage your own time and you can easily implement innovations that you want.. however, don't you feel boring also when you got to work with yourself alone..?

A job is something that I enjoy doing. Something that offers not only professional growth, but also personal development. How about you?

I want a job where my environment allows me to discover myself and broaden my horizon. Of course, earning money is a part because we're on this material world and I believe nobody can survive without money involved. However, I want to give my best when I enter into a job so I try to interview some of the employees in a particular company or office before I give my application. On the contrary, here in the Philippines, I discover that every office, every company has their own weaknesses. I realized there is no such thing as perfect workplace where you can go along with everybody because there will always be those who want to compete with you to prove that they are more capable than you are.
