【Job Type】 Framing construction work

I had worked in construction before coming to Japan, but I heard that "Japanese technology is much more advanced," so I decided to work in Japan.
At work, I enjoy learning new things every day, and I take the time to learn even difficult tasks. Since I'm not making the same thing every time, it's interesting to think of different ways to do things each time.

The people at my company were very kind and taught me not only about work but also about life in general.
When I first came to Japan, I didn't know anything, and I didn't even know that smoking while walking was prohibited.
However, the people around me taught me about manners, so I was able to get used to the rules in Japan.

On my days off, I hang out with friends or read manga.
My favorite food in Japan is fried rice.

My future goal is to return to Indonesia and start my own construction company.
I aim to work for a company where I can utilize what I learned in Japan and take on significant projects.
