They were the first batch of interns of Digital Marketing in Twibbonize. We hired them through our intern-sourced partners, Kampus Merdeka Indonesia Jaya, and Hacktiv8. They had the internship program from October 2021 until February 2022 with us and the following is the section for the real experience from them👇
Twibbonize To Be The Career Kick-off? How Can?
Well, we know a start-up company indeed is attractive for some fresh graduates. Now, we are wondering are there is somebody who is dreaming to have a job in a culture like Twibbonize’s (?). Umm, anyway here is their answer of what makes them choose Twibbonize as the beginning of their career;
Vellisa: I choose Twibbonize because it seems fun to be a part of Twibbonize itself (falling in love from first sight with the recruitment process, haha!) Plus, I am interested in content making/ marketing and Twibbonize’s feeds on Instagram back then were pretty cool!
Rizka: This organization is internationally known for the campaign site products you create. A few times ago, I saw that Twibbonize got viral on Social media, especially TikTok, and I would love to be on a collaborative, hardworking, and resourceful team. Everyone wants to work with the best organization where they learn many new things and strengthen their skills, and I believe Twibbonize is one of them.
Lidia: Back then, I was looking for a place to grow and learn after finishing Hacktiv8’s Bootcamp. I was looking for a place that would offer me a lot of opportunities to try and hone my skills, and a place that treats mistakes as a valuable experience rather than a failure. While looking for such place, I received an interview invitation from Twibbonize. As I attend the interview with Nicky, and later on with Nate, I realized that Twibbonize might be that place I aspired to grow in. They mentioned that in Twibbonize, it is mostly trial and error, and they are used to trying first rather than preparing a long-listed plan. So, I am convinced that this is where I could learn and try, rather than only speaking of theories and plans but not implementation. Besides, doing trial and error means they won’t be mad when finding an error.
How Did the Recruitment Process Go?
Vellisa: It was fun! In fact, it didn’t feel like any usual recruitment process at all, where most of the time we find ourselves to be so tense during interviews. It felt like I and Kak Nate (the recruiter) were having a chit-chat about what we both had and were ready to offer! Five stars!
Rizka: The recruitment process started with interviews and delivered the knowledge, skills, and experience obtained for the role and explained job descriptions to understand the job and assess whether I can for this role. It was courteous, respectful, and sold the benefits of the job role and the organization. After that, I received the offering letter and scheduled for onboarding with Twibbonize’s team. A warm welcome and lots of good wishes on becoming part of the Twibbonize team.
Lidia: We are first scheduled for an interview with HR. In my case, the interview is conducted with Kak Dominic Wulandari. Then, we are scheduled for another interview with the user or direct supervisor. Afterward, suitable candidates will receive an offering letter from the company and proceed to the process of signing all other necessary documents. On the first day of work, we receive a welcoming party from the staff, as well as onboarding training from HR and users.
What Inspires the Interns to Work Everyday? Not To Mention, Working Remotely
Working remotely absolutely requires high initiative. Never met each other in person condition required a high level of commitment tho. Their success in being part of Twibbonize shows their undeniable integrity. Isn’t it? So, how did the Twibbonize interns able to go through the internship program?
Vellisa: The responsibility, obvi! Especially it’s my first time working in a professional field, so even though Twibbonize has a WFA system where everything-may-seems-pretty-chill, I’m still trying to do and accomplish all the jobs and responsibilities that I have while keeping an eye out for my ongoing thesis
Rizka: Success is what motivates me to do a good job. Knowing the fact that my hard work and perseverance will help me achieve greater professional success is what keeps me going. The gratification of overcoming an obstacle is my greatest motivator. I opted to digital marketing, even though it wasn’t required for my major because I wanted to prove to myself I could do it.
The Most Exciting Thing for the Interns
The trio has been a part of Twibbonize since October 2021. Doing tasks within a dismantling work system, taking a part in the cultural formation and the company’s foundation building, aren’t you curious how they think and feel like an intern?
Vellisa: The work culture itself! Twibbonize has WFA (Work From Anywhere) and a flexible working hour system where we can basically work from anywhere and manage our own work time. I mean, we’re living in 2022 rn and in the midst of a pandemic right now, right?
Rizka: Twibbonize’s team members are willing to help each other out — even when it’s not their responsibility. If one of the team has needed the help of another team members lots of times, but it still surprises (and delights) me when a coworker has my back. In a healthy culture, coworkers help each other out — no questions asked.
The company takes care of employee needs. Fun and Warm company culture.
I’ve found that unique perks, games, and quirks endear a company to those who work at Twibbonize. Twibbonize makes the company more lively and helps it stand out from the competition. More importantly, it helps build and retain first-class teams.
Lidia: To me, the most exciting part of interning at Twibbonize is the people inside it. I meet a lot of interesting people, and everyone is friendly. Even as an intern, we are treated with respect, and are asked of our opinion. I really like this, because I feel acknowledged as a part of Twibbonize. Another aspect I really like is Twibbonize’s flexible work hours. Staff is given the freedom to manage their own work, as long as the required work hour and the workload given are accomplished. I am really thankful for this because I still have some seminars and last-year college student responsibilities to attend. Besides, I think this system speaks of Twibbonize trust to all of us, and I really appreciate that.
You Wish You Know When You Were About to Join Twibbonize
After getting into the internship program and with everything they think and feel about it, there might be something they wish they knew in the first place.
Vellisa: I wish I’d known that the people from all teams are all friendly and welcoming you to the club! (since I was pretty nervous back then on the onboarding day, haha!)
Rizka: I believe the skill set & experience I possess will bring value to Twibbonize and, in turn, will help me acquire experience & sharpen my skills amidst Twibbonize’s professional work culture and as a warm company. I positively look forward to giving my best to Twibbonize.
Lidia: I guess I wish I had broader knowledge in my field, so I could contribute more to Twibbonize. As an intern, we have a direct supervisor to guide us through all the workload, but as with other digital companies, we are also asked to improvise and do a trial-error. So, I really wish I have a wider knowledge and experience.
How’s Their Uni Life then?
Vellisa: In general, not too packed since I’m in a final semester, so I don’t have many classes to attend. but I also have some organizational activities in uni, which is pretty packed!
Rizka: One of the best things about college life is that I get a new experience every day. In my college life, along with studying, my friends and I enjoyed a lot of other things. We traveled to many places, had new experiences, and learned many new things.
Lidia: As I am a final year student, I don’t have a lot of college responsibility, to begin with. However, I still have to finish my thesis. So, the challenge is to balance the time spent between internship and thesis.

Vellisa: Just pour any ideas that you have, even the random ones, haha! Other than that, just enjoy the rollercoaster ride (it’s no fun if I give the spoilers, no?)
Rizka: Nothing, I should like to convey. Keep warm and solid. Thank you Twibbonize, and see you!
