[Job Title] Reinforcement Work

Before coming to Japan, I worked in construction in Africa for seven years. Compared to other countries, many people in Japan enjoy a comfortable life. There are lots of cars and trains, making it a very easy place to live.

The way work is done in Japan is different from other countries; there are well-defined rules. Learning these rules is difficult, but thanks to them, I can work safely. Also, Japan has a solid pension and benefits system, and a well-established working environment.

Japanese people are polite. Not only at work, but also when you go shopping at the supermarket, the store clerk will say "good morning" and "hello".
I would like to work in Japan for a long time. I worked hard to achieve the qualification of Class 1 Certificed Skilled Worker. I would like to create and manage my own company in Japan someday.
