"Let's acquire the basic skills of a member of society! 』
Specially Appointed Professor Kazumi Shiotani (Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology Career Development Office)
At the beginning, Professor Shiotani said, "Companies expect people to acquire the basic skills to become a member of society when they enter society. We are starting to focus on meetings, recruiters are reviving.I want you to know that job hunting has already started.”
First, group work was carried out next to each other.
After introducing themselves in each group, we discussed ``what strengths do you want to use to play an active role in society?Professor Shiotani explained, "Even in interviews, you may be asked about your strengths. It is necessary to think in advance so that you can give a presentation in about two minutes."
Next, a lecture using slides began.
It was explained that in XNUMX the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) took the lead in compiling basic competencies for working adults with the content of ``I want current students to acquire these competencies.''
You have already acquired sufficient basic academic skills and IT skills, and you are now working on your specialized knowledge.However, the basic 'humanity, lifestyle' is also important.This applies even if you change departments or change jobs.
Among the basic skills of a member of society, the ability to think through things and the ability to persevere are particularly important.In addition, in today's global competition, it is necessary to have the ability to work as a team and the ability to control stress so as not to be discouraged by various stresses.
Individual work was then carried out.
Using the worksheet, I scored myself the XNUMX elements of the basic skills of a working adult and entered them on a radar chart.Also, after filling out the form, we discussed our impressions with each other next to us.
The lecture was continued using slides.
Regarding smooth communication, "Johari Window" was introduced, and "Career Design Themes by Generation" was also explained.
People in their twenties are the age when they start working on their own initiative and learn how to work. In your XNUMXs, you have to demonstrate self-responsibility and leadership in your field of specialty.And it is also the age when you have to explore in which field you want to become a professional.It is important to look ahead and work on skill development.
It was stated that there is a gap in awareness between companies and students regarding the level of ability that should be acquired. There was an explanation about the ability I want you to have.At that time, it was emphasized that it is important to present yourself honestly in the interview.In addition, it was explained that the basic ability to work as a member of society is also involved in the research process.
Here, the president of a marine research and development company introduced his expectations for doctoral degree holders.
Mr. Shiotani said, "Companies are looking for human resources who can think broadly and present various solutions, and I want them to join the company with the desire to grow."
If you are going to find a job, now is the time to get a job, as reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the XNUMX Tokyo Olympics are approaching.And it is important to choose a company that can fulfill your desire for growth.I want you to take advantage of your strengths to sell yourself, have dreams and passion, and approach job hunting with the tenacity to persevere until the very end.Career options (directions) are where the three circles of "what is required, what you want to do, and what you can do" overlap.
On the other hand, XNUMX/XNUMX of employees quit within XNUMX years of joining the company due to a mismatch of occupations.Therefore, it would be a good idea to use an internship to experience working in a company.Under the long-term internship system, salaries and transportation expenses are paid to PDs.There are already XNUMX PDs and XNUMX DCs, and XNUMX of them got a job at the company where they were trained.
Introduced two long-term internship cases, and added, "If you have any questions, please come and talk to me about anything, no matter how small."
Finally, today's lecture was closed by introducing the future lecture schedule.
