Career Design Course Vol.XNUMX
"Knowledge and Practice for Successful Job Hunting"
Specially Appointed Professor Kazumi Shiotani (Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology Career Development Office)
Today's lecture began by stating, "The Japan Business Federation (Keidanren) is pushing forward job hunting by three months, but it is better to recognize that the actual schedule is the same as last year." I was.
Gone are the days of high expectations.From now on, it is necessary to consider how you can grow as a total reward.To that end, there are two themes: ``how to find a company that can realize motivation'' and ``how to sell yourself to the company''.
At the beginning, Dr. Shiotani introduced his own career as an example that I would never want to imitate.
When I first started job hunting, I wanted to do surveys and research on fisheries, but I ended up being assigned to sales, which I didn't want to do the most. He endured five years and continued to work in sales, but as the industry itself shrunk, he decided to change jobs to Seven-Eleven.I believe that I am who I am today because of my XNUMX years of experience working in the sales department and being entrusted with a large business as a sales manager.After that, after working in the apparel industry, etc., he became a lecturer for career design and management training XNUMX years ago.
It was emphasized that I would like you to proceed with job hunting in a planned manner and aim to become a full-time employee.
Job hunting is one of the most important milestones in life, and it is important not to stumble on the first step.If you don't have enough self-understanding, you will stumble.Just because it's hard to find a job, you shouldn't easily become a non-regular employee.It is difficult to get an important job, and it is difficult to get the opportunity to grow yourself through work.
Next, there was an explanation about the flow of the job hunting period.
Since the actual situation has not changed from last year, there is no time to relax, so I would like you to concentrate on your job hunting for a short period of time.
"What kind of company to go to starts with self-understanding and self-analysis," he said, introducing the "Self-analysis Sheet."In addition to self-analysis, objective evaluation of others is also important, and it was emphasized that it is important to write it down.
Here, as a practice of filling in a part of the "self-analysis sheet", a one-minute exercise was held to think and discuss "what you learned and what you gained at the Marine University".
Filling out the self-analysis sheet will be a good opportunity to do a self-inventory.Be prepared to talk about yourself.At the interview, it is important to put the strengths of Kaiyodai to the fore and to firmly have "something unique to yourself" as a differentiation from others.
The economy and employment environment are improving, and the active job openings-to-applicants ratio is increasing year by year.With the Tokyo Olympics coming up, now may be your chance to start job hunting. It is important to actively seek out information by visiting alumni using the Quarterly Report on Job Hunting and the Industry Map.If you act in haste, you may end up making a choice that is completely opposite to what you hoped for, so please be well prepared.
Next, there was an explanation about how to find a good company.
A good company is one that is rewarding to work for, and is all about having a relationship of trust between employees and management.You can't take pride in products and services that you're not interested in, and you can't take pride in the company, so it won't last long.A company that welcomes new employees, talks directly to management, considers individual life events, and provides opportunities for growth is good.In addition, there is also the option of being a medium-sized company, which has the advantage of being able to entrust various things to one person.
There are various industries, business types and business types, but it is better to judge a company based on sales and ordinary income.In addition, mid-sized companies should be judged by the personality of the top management, and the turnover rate is high in companies that rely on human resources and work that anyone can do.Since it is a fishery, it does not mean that a fishery-related company is good, so I would like you to carefully examine and prepare.
Next, there was an explanation from the entry to the interview.
It is important to write your resume carefully and make it easy to understand and show your personality.Companies judge people and whether they are the right person for the company.Choose an industry that suits you, and face the interview with bare face.It is important to bring out the character of the ocean and have an atmosphere that will grow in the future.Also, I would like you to review your basic skills as a member of society again and check your current level of competence.
Finally, there was an introduction to Krumbolz's Planned Contingency Theory.
He emphasized that it is necessary to make an effort to attract coincidences that are convenient for you, and that you should seize opportunities on your own.He also said that the most effective way to do this is to use a network of personal connections, and that new discoveries can be made if the necessary information is obtained.
He concluded today's lecture by saying, "I want you to use my experience in some way. Also, feel free to visit us for career counseling."
