In my seminar, I gained valuable work experience by collaborating with local companies to develop original leather products and helping out at festivals in Daito City. Because I enjoy talking to people, I vaguely wanted to work in sales... But I didn't know where to start, so I went to Career Center. I remember feeling truly relieved when Ms. Yamazaki listened to me attentively. I am truly grateful for all her help, from proofreading my application form to giving me interview advice. Later, when I was struggling with the direction of my job search, Ms. Yamazaki suggested that Kansai Electric Power Community Co., Ltd., which manages and operates apartments and other properties, might be a good fit for me. When I learned that the work involves building trusting relationships with residents, landlords, and contractors and supporting people's lives, I became convinced that I could utilize my skills. I will support people's daily lives based on the communication skills and sense of responsibility I cultivated at university.

In my department's career design course, I conducted self-analysis, company analysis, and vocal exercises, and then, accompanied by my professor, I attended a joint company information session. There, I learned about Canadian Devia Co., Ltd., and in November of my third year, I participated in their internship. I was attracted to their business of protecting people from disasters such as tsunamis with their high level of technical expertise as a machinery and plant manufacturer, as well as their warm corporate culture, and I wanted to work there. Ms. Kitaguchi at Career Center helped me with proofreading my application forms and practicing interviews many times. When I was worried about whether focusing my job search on the construction industry was the right thing to do, she kindly advised me, "Why don't you attend information sessions for other science and engineering companies?" Thanks to her, I was able to broaden my horizons to other industries and make a career decision that I was happy with, and I am grateful for that. Because I studied a wide range of subjects from drafting to architecture at university, my strength is that I can work in any department without anxiety. I will not forget my desire for improvement and will continue to work hard.

I enrolled as a transfer student, and in my third year, I prioritized earning credits while gathering information about job hunting through Career Center and preparing accordingly. I began my job search in earnest in my fourth year, and during consultations, I received guidance on resume editing and writing techniques, which I then used to prepare for interviews.
During the summer break of my fourth year, I realized that time until graduation was limited, so I decided to "take action." In my job search, I focused on researching companies and industries and understanding the differences between them. At first, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of industries, but after consulting with friends and faculty, I became interested in the hotel industry and solidified my aspirations by actually visiting several hotels.
In the interview, I made sure to explain specifically how I could contribute to the company, taking into account its unique characteristics.
When I was unsure about my career path, the staff at Career Center encouraged me by saying, "Just give it a try." Thanks to that, I was able to approach things with confidence and ultimately receive a job offer.
My future goal is to gain experience in the hospitality industry in Japan and then operate a homestay business in my home country. To achieve this, I want to improve not only my customer service skills and the quality of my services, but also learn about facility management, customer service, and overall management. I will continue to gain practical experience and save money, systematically preparing to achieve my goal.
