After I graduated from UNESCO-IHE in April 2015, I am back to my home town in Kediri, Indonesia to meet my family. While I was enjoying togetherness with my family I tried to apply jobs which related to my background study. Surprisingly, it is not so hard to get a job in a water sector. After 3 months of trying, I got 3 job offers. The fist offer is come from a local NGO which has water quality monitoring project in Ciliwung River. This offer is based-project job which means they only need me on the specific project. After project has done, I need to find another job again. This is dilemma for me as I have a family to feed. The next offer is a PhD position in one of reputable university in Malaysia. I was thingking this is a good option for me but then I need a real experience not just study. Finally, I chose the last offer i.e. working with a water consultancy firm in Malaysia.
One thing that could be important during finding a job in a water sector is connectivity. IHE is the most reputable inatitute to create water profeaaionals around the world. Wherever I go, I alwaysJ find alumni that can support me i many aspects. So, thanks to IHE for doing a great job and wish can withstand forever.
