I participated in Boston Career Forum for a few days in when I had thanksgiving vacation. Since Japan has job hunting season at this time for university students, who will graduate in 2011, I also have to get information concerns about Japanese companies. Therefore, I tried to do that there. The job fare was very helpful for Japanese students who have stayed in the U.S., because a lot of Japanese companies did not only give own information to them, but also give interview to them; Furthermore, some companies might have hired students if they found students who they strongly required to work with. Actually I had two interviews, and I was asked about some general questions, which were about my personality, what I want to do in the company, what I can do, and why I am interested in the company. When I had an interview, I could not explain correctly. Then, I realized I have not analyzed concerns about those questions. Since I regretted I didn’t do that, I decided to quest those questions deeply.
I would like to organize the order, which we should think about before we will get a job.
I would like to organize the order, which we should think about before we will get a job.
The first step is that we should reflect that what we want do and what we can do in a company before we will get a job. In other words, we must recognize our self capability or personality, which I have learned or experiences in our life. This is the most important steps because of getting a job is related to my life directly. If people get a job, which they don’t fit into their capability, they should feel uncomfortable. One of my friends is working as clerk in a sweet shop, but actually she has wanted to work as scientist in same as the company. That is because she has researched concerns about genetic engineering in her university. I think that she should have considered her future when she decided on a company. Therefore, what we know about our self is significant before we will get a job.
Second step is that we should think that which industry we want to work before we will get a job. I think that it is related to the first step. In our society, there are a lot of kinds of industry, which food industry, medical industry, economic industry and so on. We must belong to one of industries we are interested in. If we consider our self, which looks like first step, it is easy to decide about that. For example, if a person specializes in the medical care, s/he should decide to work in medical industry. Even though a person chooses one industry which is not related to his/her major, the choice is right if s/he think about first step deeply.
Final step is that we should choose a company, which we want to work. The important point is which items we are interested in. In my case, I focus on company’s policy when I choose a company I want to work. Therefore, I should check it out and compare between similar companies. One of my friends has focused on the company’s name. Thus, the choice depends on people.
In conclusion, to get a job is the important, hence we have to follow above the order before we get a job.
