From a senior foreigner working in a construction company
one thing

[Job Title] Reinforcement Work

I was working as an electrician in the Philippines.
Since my current job in rebar construction is also in the construction industry, just like electrical work, I thought I had a general understanding of the job content.
I also found the work of rebar construction interesting. And that's what led me to come to Japan and work for my current company.

There are many fun places in Japan.
On my days off, I like to go shopping in Odaiba and Ueno in Tokyo.

One place I'd like to visit someday is Universal Studios Japan, an amusement park in Osaka.
There are some interesting rides and attractions, so if you have the chance, you should definitely go and check it out.

I have children aged 13 and 11. My children also say they want to live in Japan, so my goal now is to become a Specified Skilled Worker (ii).
My whole family always supports me, so I will continue to work hard.
