Hello guys!

As you know, currently I am taking role as Data Management Apprentice for Customer Analytics Department, which will prepare me to be Data Analyst of the company. Elevenia Apprentice program is extremely good opportunity you can take. I am personally still enjoy it here because as Meteorologist, I am extremely comfort with data, number, statistic, and programming process though (For more story, check it here)

Well, tonight I will share to you about the Elevenia Apprentice Test process. I am using English because I believe you already capable with it, I guess, at least you had B1 English proficiency though. Why? Well, as you know Elevenia or PT. XL Planet is a joint venture company between XL Axiata and SK Planet. This is the reason why we called it PT. XL Planet in the first place. So, in several division, you might meet Korean people actually (i.e. SEO division, the GM is korean). This means, you should prepare your English well, especially in speaking and writing.

Well, the processes of Elevenia apprentice program were simple actually. 

First, you'll have paper test for General Management Admission Test (GMAT) in Bahasa. In GMAT, most likely similar with IQ test (verbal logical) for sure. It's hard to describe the test (also it's confidential) but if you have good logic, I bet you'll pass this test easily.

Second, at the same day, you'll have English test (for listening and reading part). Alhamdulillah, before taking the test, actually I was preparing my IELTS test (because formerly I was willing to continue my study). And I guess it's obviously easier. I didn't know how much time I spend, but, actually I still had my 20 minutes for finishing the test. Yups, on that time, I am on my mood to be ambitious, so I will do everything as soon as possible (with my best), so that I could have time to check my answer. So, make sure you can manage your time well for Elevenia Apprentice program yups.

Third, Focus Group Discussion (FGD). OMG, to be honest, I was so nervous! It was my first time to have FGD. Nervous af. But, nervous and doing nothing won't solve and calm me, right? So, I was literally studying anything about Data Management and Customer Analytics haha. Just googling it, guys :p Here's the example. I was searching for Big Data Management (Just connect it to your logic yah haha). So yeah, just be in mind, what kind of roles you're going to take haha. Anyway, because limited resources, I was searching for FGD Apprentice program. But unfortunately, I just found the XLence apprentice program. Well, I assume, "it's not so different lah yah"....... because this company might same with XL, right? But it is totally different. What I read, the topic might relate to Leadership (which is not really worried me, because of my roles on several organization). And the actual topic is ..... about Data Science and Big Data! You will be given an article, and please discuss it to your group, and present the conclusion to the watcher. FYI, we were watched by GM of Customer Analytics, So ..... Be prepared, guys! Just a quick reminder, in Elevenia Apprentice test, the FGD will be conduct in English. Anyway, don't forget to see the attitude of FGD yaps, probably it matters! You may see the materials on youtube or something.

Fourth, last but not least, the Elevenia Apprentice test would be Interview by user ..... There's no tips except Rehearse ..... Rehearse ..... and Rehearse! Make sure you know what you're doing, and what you have written on your CV. And please, relate all of your organization experiences with this roles haha. For F sake, I was rehearsing from this. TBH, I was interviewed by mas Hakim, GM of Customer Analytics, face to face. Just relax and enjoy your interview like you guys having daily conversation yah. Please make sure this job, in line with your long-term goals (Perhaps to be scientist, lecturer, or even businessman). Elevenia, probably, doesn't want to recruit the unmotivated ones. Ganbatte!

Well, all of Elevenia Apprentice test processes only take 10 days I guess, and you would get the result of your interview a.s.a.p. About the contract ..... Well, just make sure you can make it to this step ya :p But I can assure you, this program is great opportunity, and you may consider it as Management Trainee level lah haha.

Good luck guys! If you have anything to ask, just leave the comment below yah haha

Hallo everyone !

I want to share my slight journey as Data Management Apprentice on elevenia.co.id, in which, currently I am being prepared to be Customer Analyst for sure. 

Well, I am not really sure why, but regarding my Interview with the user,  I can assure him several things, I do have programming minded, with intermediate understanding of statistic, and can deliver the insight of analysis to the people. FYI, in Meteorology, we were learning about statistic because we're scientist, right? We are talking about the Data, and digging these data and serving it to be some insightful analysis. As a student, I used to be assistant lecturer of Weather and Climate Data Analysis (WCDA) and Numerical Weather Prediction. We used Matlab and Fortran to calculating our data, and for the record, every week, we used to do presentation in front of students, lecturers, and laboratory assistants. This story can sum up my experiences regarding programming, statistic, and presentation skills. 

What makes it interesting, actually what I am doing as Data Management apprentice might be not really different with Meteorology subjects, except for the advanced tools and also the data itself. I am currently learning about SQL, a language to communicate with the database. Because all of our data is stored on Cloud, and you may consider as Big Data. Furthermore, I was learning about Web Recommender Logics, and how could they increase the conversion rate of a website, also I learnt how Amazon.com can be so success with this recommendation logic things. Last but not least, recently I was learning about Google Analytics, which is really powerful tools to getting the insight of who are your visitors are, how could they end up into your website, how they behavior is, how impactful our paid or unpaid campaigns, how many interactions the customers did to convert into transaction, and lots of things for sure. And you know what, thanks to google actually, we are eager to learn anything by ourselves. And because when I was on Meteorology student, which the subject itself sometimes lack of sources and books, I can manage and handle with that conditions. Googling might be the best tools to learn anything by myself.

Last, we were just having the meeting regarding the path of Customer Analytics department, because it's still new in Elevenia. And I am telling you that I am so excited to build my career in this path, because it's so challenging for me with the background -that in the middle of- Statistics and Programming, also, all of us will learn and growing this department together (Aamiin!)

So, for all of Meteorology students out there, especially from ITB. Just don't be afraid for what you're going to be. Because I believe, actually, you can be whatever you want to be, and somehow, you might relate all of this stuff to what you have learnt in Meteorology so far. My message for you guys, dedicate yourself, your time, and your mind, to learn anything from this program and your organization, because it's gonna help you to achieve more :) Thank you and see you on Top :)
