Japanese Experiencing Japanese Kindness and Hospitality
Going to Japan was my dream and experiencing Japanese Hospitality myself assured that aspiration. My two-year journey to get my dream job in my dream country was not an easy challenge. With the support of everyone throughout my journey, along with experiences I gained from countless opportunities from the FAST OFFER Program, and by improving myself even more at each step I go through, I was able to reach my dream of working here in Japan.
The moment when I first landed in Japan, I fell in love with everything, perhaps especially Japanese hospitality. The warmth and kindness of the people made an immediate impression on me. Everyone is so welcoming and warm! They are unhesitantlly kind and helpful even to strangers.
On the Shinkansen or the Metros of their locals, they would kindly help me; I was moved by their kindness. Their eagerness to assist, explain, and ensure I understood how to avoid future problems exemplified their generosity and work ethic. Whenever I am facing a problem, they eagerly help me out, and explain to me how to do it correctly. They are also extremely hard working. That experience is something that I will never forget.
Mastering Japanese was still met with Japanese hospitality!
Learning Japanese has always been a significant challenge, but my determination never wavered. To achieve my dream of working in Japan, I did a lot of things to understand Japanese. I would ask my Japanese friends and teachers, learn all the things about Japanese that I found difficult, then practicing it again by myself. Their patience and willingness to support me were invaluable. Japanese hospitality seems to be so embedded in their culture that I even experienced it while learning Japanese. Everyone was so kind in helping me on my journey! I I almost can’t believe it’s a reality now that I will be working in Japan. Reflecting on my journey, I am profoundly grateful for the collective effort that helped me turn my dream into reality.
How Mentorship and FAST OFFER International Led to a Dream Job in Japan
I had heard about the FAST OFFER Program even before my teachers formally introduced it to us. Once I completed my Japanese language class, they began discussing the program in detail, asking if I was interested in pursuing a career in Japan. I was intrigued and excited; working in Japan had always been my dream. However, turning this dream into reality was far from easy. It took me 2 years to finally reach my dream, and each step was not an easy one.
Every step of the journey was a learning experience. The unwavering support from my mentor and guidance from everyone made it all possible. They enriched my knowledge about how the interview at a Japanese company works, and I learned new things in each process over time. Throughout this journey of getting a job in my dream country, I also finally understood the meaning of hard work, and when I achieve my dream, I feel like I just got a really, big achievement for getting a job in Japan. Despite the many obstacles I encountered, I am immensely grateful that I never gave up on my dream.
Future Plans: Enhancing Skills and Contributing to Japanese Innovation
Through this exciting opportunity to work in Japan, I aim to enhance my expertise in both soft skill and hard skills. I am committed to continually improving my proficiency in the Japanese language to better integrate and immerse into the local culture and workplace. I am eager to absorb all the knowledge and experience that my new company has to offer from innovative technological practices to understanding the nuances of Japanese business etiquette. My goal is to contribute meaningfully while striving for personal and professional growth. I am determined to give my best effort and work diligently to excel in my role, ensuring that I will make a positive impact and achieve great success within the company. This journey is not just about securing a job but about embracing a lifelong learning process and building a rewarding career in Japan.
