Tell Me About Yourself

Answer First of all, my name is Angela Prasetyo. I graduated from Institut Teknologi PLN Jakarta,
with a Bachelor’s degree in Informatics Engineering. During my time as a college student, I
was really active in participating in many campus activities. I was actively involved in the
organization as an assistant at ITCC ITPLN Jakarta from 2021 to 2023. I also actively
participated in the social service event committee of the Informatics Engineering student
association of ITPLN Jakarta in the Public Relations division in 2020, and I was also
participated in the committee at the Pre-Basic Student Management Skills Training event in
the operator division in 2020. I also had professional experience in the administration and
finance division at ITCC ITPLN Jakarta from 2021 to 2023. I am proficient in public
speaking and data management skills, especially in data analyst. I enjoy socializing and
collaborating with other people.
02. What was the toughest challenge you’ve faced?
Answer The toughest challenge I have faced was during an audit period. The reporting documents
that had been created were checked, and apparently there was a missing receipt. With this
incident, I came up with the idea to organize the reporting documents, especially the
receipts. Various purchase receipts in large quantities and the writing on the notes that fades
easily made it difficult for the finance department to do financial reporting. So, I tried to
solve this by scanning each note and putting them into a single folder based on month or
activity. At that time, I was handling documents from 2021 to 2023.
03. Tell me about a time you had to deliver disappointing news
Answer When working in a team, there was one person whose work pace was very slow, it
ultimately affected the team’s progress. As the division leader, I had to receive a reprimand
from my superior because of it. After giving warnings to the person twice and they still
showed no improvement in their performance, I conducted a meeting with them for an
evaluation. During this evaluation, I provided guidance on overcoming the obstacles they
faced in completing their tasks on time.
04. Tell me about a time you faced conflict in a team
Answer I once encountered a conflict within a team, where two of my subordinates did not get along
despite the necessity to get along well in carrying out their duties. Eventually, as a leader, I
had to intervene to resolve the conflict. The first step I took was to gather both of them and
conduct an open forum. In this forum, I encouraged both parties to exchange their opinions
with a note that no offense should be taken, but rather be used as self-evaluation. At the
end, they must apologize genuinely to each other. This approach really helped for such
conflicts to become less likely to recur.
05 Tell me about a time you had to explain something complex
Answer There was this situation where I had to explain a complex matter to my team. Rather than
explaining straight to the technical details, I paused first to contemplate about how I can
convey the complex matter in a simple and easily comprehensible way. I took the time to
break down the matter into more digestible parts and used relatable examples to illustrate
each point. This helped me to do the explanation in a way that is easy for my teams to
comprehend.
06. Tell us something that is not on your CV
Answer I was once a part of a book review committee. In this activity, I was tasked to check the
structural coherence of the documents and edit any writing that was not appropriate. It gave
me the opportunity to experience contributing to the refinement of written materials.
07. Why do you want this job?
Answer I am interested in this job because I have a passion in leadership and team development.
With my prior position as a head of administration and finance, I have acquired valuable
experience in leading and managing teams. I see this program as an opportunity to further
refine and develop my skills. By applying for the Sampoerna Graduate Trainee program, I
aim to enhance my leadership skills and become a competent leader who is capable of
leading a team towards success and become an inspiration to them.
