[Work location] Aichi Prefecture

[Job Type] Scaffolding ・Earthwork

I came to Japan in 2015 as a Technical Intern Training student and started working as a kite worker (high-altitude construction work). I returned to Vietnam in 2018, but after about four years, I came back to Japan again. I thought working in Japan suited me, and I wanted to earn money.

When I first came to Japan, I was anxious because I didn't understand Japanese. But I got used to life in Japan in about three months. Even now, if there's a word I don't understand, I look it up right away on my smartphone. My colleagues are kind, and if I have any questions about work, they explain things to me in simple Japanese. When my child was born, I took three months of maternity leave and spent time with my family in Vietnam. I am very grateful to the president.

I want to continue working in Japan and saving money. My goal is to build a house in Vietnam in the future.
