【Job Type】 Framing construction work

I have been paid more since I became a Specified Skills and can support my family even more.
Right now, I'm studying for Specified Skilled Worker (ii). After work, I use my smartphone to learn kanji on the train and study with a Japanese app.

Everyone at the company is kind, and the president also values his employees.
My fondest memory is when I returned to Indonesia and got married; the company president supported me financially and in other ways. Thanks to him, I was able to get married, and that motivated me to return to Japan and work hard again.

On my days off, I play futsal with my Indonesian friends. In the Kanto region, there are matches exclusively for Indonesians, and I enjoy playing in those.

I like all kinds of Japanese food, but I don't like natto (fermented soybeans).

My dream is to continue working in Japan, saving money, and one day start my own construction company in Indonesia.
