[Job Title] Reinforcement Work

I have been in Japan for over 10 years.
I also worked in rebar construction in China, but the types of rebar used are different in China and Japan. I had to relearn the names of the rebars, but the work itself was mostly the same, so the job wasn't too difficult.

The good thing about me being a Specified Skills is that I get paid more than when I was a Technical Intern Training student and I can learn a higher level of technology.
The president and everyone at work support me in my work, life, and Japanese studies, so I am able to live a very comfortable life.

Japanese uses kanji, so I think it is easy for Chinese people to read and write. Thanks to the president teaching me to study, I was able to pass the Level 1 skill test exam. The next goal is to become a Specified Skilled Worker (ii).
