From a senior foreigner working in a construction company

【Job Type】 Framing construction work

There's a certain satisfaction in working in the construction industry, in the process of creating something tangible.
After coming to Japan, I was taught the ropes by my senior colleague, Ron. Since Ron lived close to where I used to live in Vietnam, he was very kind and supportive. Thanks to him, I was able to learn the job very easily and smoothly.

My most enjoyable memory from my time in Japan was carrying a portable shrine (mikoshi) at a festival.
Wearing a traditional Japanese garment called a "happi," we joined the Japanese people and carried a "mikoshi," which is said to be a vehicle for the gods.
And walking around town while shouting was a really fun experience.

I'm studying to become a Specified Skilled Worker (ii) right now. I also have people at the company support me in my studies.
I want to live up to expectations and achieve my goals.
