I did my apprenticeship from December 2006 until January 2007. There is a
fixed schedule that I have to follow while working in this company. The
apprenticeship schedule is from Monday to Friday, starting at 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and
on Saturday, the schedule starts at 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. I have a one-hour break every
day from 12 to 1 p.m.
Day


Time

Monday – Friday

08.00 – 12.00
12.00 – 13.00 ( Break )
13.00 – 16.00

Saturday

08.00 – 12.00
12.00 – 13.00 ( Break )
13.00 – 15.00

Everyday I have to fill in the attendance list and finish my daily tasks that are
given. One of my routine activities during the apprenticeship is to check the incoming
e-mails. The e-mail can be in the form of purchase orders or reply letters from
buyers. There are two kinds of buyers; those from Indonesia and from abroad. The
e-mails from foreigners are usually in English language; whereas, e-mails from

Indonesian companies are in Indonesian. I have to translate e-mails from the
companies abroad. If the e-mails are in Indonesian, I just give them to my manager.
To complete all the tasks, I use devices such as computer, internet, fax machine and
telephone.

I have used four English skills while working in this company. The first is
writing skill. I use this skill when I reply e-mails from foreigners. The second one is
reading skill. This skill is used when I receive e-mails from abroad and I have to
translate it. The last is both speaking and listening skills, which are used when I have
to negotiate with buyers via telephone. I also use those skills when the company had
a guest from the Philippines. During his visit, I became a business tour guide for the
guest.
After having done the apprenticeship programme, I realize there are some
English skills that become my strengths. I have good conversation skill and it is
proven when I have a conversation with buyers via telephone, and also when I
become a business tour guide for the guest from the Philippines. My translation skill

also helps me in doing my tasks that are mostly translating e-mails from foreigner
buyers. Unfortunately, I still have a weakness in doing my tasks. The weakness is
my grammatical skill; as I do many mistakes when making purchase orders.
After finishing my apprenticeship programme, I realize there are useful
English skills that I have learned in the Diploma-Three Programme for English that
become beneficial in carrying out my tasks. My knowledge in translation is used
when I translate e-mails; while speaking skill gained in Conversation classes is used
to negotiate with buyers. The last, writing skill, is used either when I make a
purchase order or reply an e-mail. Becoming a marketing staff during my
apprenticeship, I find many precious experiences. I become more punctual, because
in a real job, being on time is a must. It is a part of responsibility.

Upon the completion of my apprenticeship, I also have feedback for CV. Afta
Suryakencana that the company should provide a special department for new
workers which functions to train the new workers before they are put in real position.
The department will make all the new workers more confident to perform their job.

For the Diploma-Three Programme for English, keeping this apprenticeship program
as a primary subject is good, because this apprenticeship will give the students
valuable experiences in the business world.
