[Work location] Chiba Prefecture

【Job Type】 Framing construction work

I came to Japan in 2016.
I served in the army in my home country of Vietnam.
After that, I decided to come to Japan because I wanted to work as a carpenter.
I have studied Japanese and work knowledge a little, but I still had a hard time at first. Still, I continued to work hard and now I have obtained the "Specified Skilled Worker (ii)" qualification.

My wife is currently pregnant, and we have a child. My biggest goal right now is to live in Japan with my family.
On my days off, I like to go to Tokyo to relax and unwind. There are so many places I've enjoyed visiting, like Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, and Senso-ji Temple. Also, one of my pleasures is going out for yakiniku (Japanese barbecue) and drinks with my colleagues.

Japan has many rules to follow to ensure safety, and I think those are very important. I will continue to work hard and strive to live happily with my family.
