---

• What brought you to Japan?

Because I wanted to learn Japanese.

I have learned about Japan in my home country and heard that it is a wonderful country, therefore I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

 

• What is your current job?

I work as a cleaner at a fashion chain in Shibuya.

 

• How many jobs did you apply for?

I've applied a lot!

I probably applied for about 40 jobs.

 

• What is important to you in choosing a job?

It is important for me to be able to work in the morning and get transportation expenses.

I am an international student and have school in the afternoon, therefore I looked for a job where I could work in the morning.

I also choose a place where I could get transportation expenses because Japan is an expensive place to live.

 

• What did you have in mind when you made your self-introduction video?

I was embarrassed at first, but I had to reshoot many times in order to be called for an interview.

In the video, I talked about my hobbies: tennis, anime, and manga!

 

• What was the most difficult part of looking for a job or applying for a job?

I had never been interviewed in Japanese before, which made my first interview very difficult.

But I was not too nervous after the second time.

 

• How many days a week do you work?

I work 5 days a week, Monday through Friday.

 

• Are there any other foreign staff?

I often work alone, so I don't know the details.

But, I have worked with Mongolians and Malaysians, so I believe there are foreigners from Asia working there.

 

• Have you ever had trouble communicating at work?

It's just a simple conversation, so there's not much to worry about.

I use a translation tool when I find it difficult to have a conversation.

 

• What is your favorite part of your current job?

I think it's good that the salary is high and the work is easy.

It was so easy that I was able to learn the job in a week!

Working is fun and the best way to learn Japanese.

My Japanese language skills has gotten much better since I started working.
