[Job Title] Scaffolding and Earthwork

I came to Japan to earn money and to learn how to work. I watched Japanese news while I was in Vietnam and thought that Japan would be a safe place where I could live a good life.

Everyone at work is kind and friendly. The chairman even cares about my personal life. At first, I didn't know anything about things like how to dispose of garbage or traffic rules, but the chairman kindly taught me.

I currently work as a scaffolder, assembling scaffolding. The rules in the Japanese construction industry are stricter than those in Vietnam. However, I think it's a good thing because the strict rules allow for safer working conditions. My colleagues also taught me how to do the job.

My goal is to earn a lot of money in Japan to support my family in Vietnam. I plan to work hard in Japan for about two more years before returning to Vietnam.
