From a senior foreigner working in a construction company

"Everyone's warmth gave me the push I needed," says Mr. Moore, who jumped into the world of electrical work.
[Work location] Aichi Prefecture
[Job Title] Electrical Worker
I used to make clothes using a sewing machine in Vietnam. I decided to come to Japan because I wanted to earn more money for my family. I had a strong desire to take on a new challenge in Japan.
I chose to work in electrical construction because I've always been interested in electricity. Also, when my cousin told me about the company, I thought, "I can do my best here." I was initially worried because I heard that the work sites were mostly male. However, when I actually started working there, the Japanese senior colleagues kindly taught me everything. I felt at ease because of everyone's warmth.
The terminology used in electrical work is difficult, so I look things up on my smartphone or ask my seniors when I don't understand something. I have the N3 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, but I'm still studying.
My goal this year is to obtain a Class 2 Electrician's License. With this license, I can continue working in Japan for a long time. I used to make clothes in Vietnam, and now I'm working on electrical construction sites. I'm surprised myself. I'm really glad I challenged myself with something new.
