【授業後、学生から寄せられた講義に関する感想】※一部抜粋

Recently, I learned that the world is diverse and we need to value connections.

When looking for a job, we have to think about how the company is connected to society.

In order to create value, it is necessary to consider the needs of society while considering the environment.

From these stories, I think that in today’s society, no matter what we do, we are always connected to those around us, and we need to think a little bigger than ourselves.

Overall, I’m sure the presentation was very informative for everyone. There were also many words that made a lot of sense, especially to me. For example, Not “what I want to do”, but “who I want to be”, Don’t seek answers, enjoy the change, It’s important to accumulate trust, etc. Among them, “It’s important to accumulate trust” was the most interesting. I was very happy to confirm that my usual behavior was properly appreciated.

In his advice to his past self, Mr. Naka talked about 1) thinking objectively about yourself and not what I want to do, but who I want to be 2) understanding your market value objectively and knowing the life expectancy of your job, and 3) not seeking answer, enjoy change, in the these three advice, I think that the second, knowing the life expectancy of the industry in which you work and the job you do, and understanding your market value objectively, is very important, so when I graduate from university and  go out into the world to work, I want to remember this advice and work with a clear understanding of it.

Thank you for your special lecture. I’m in the third grade at the university and doing job hunting. Your words changed my way of thinking. I was especially impressed with this phrase : “it’s not what you want to do, but what you want to be.” I was thinking about what I wanted to do. But, I didn’t think about what I wanted to be. Therefore, I decided to think about myself first.

I think it’s great that you say you are helping people find meaning in working in Japan.

I didn’t know that many Chinese people came to Japan because they were attracted to Japanese lifetime employment and welfare programs.

I don’t like the lifetime employment system because it allows people to work  without achieving results as long as the company doesn’t go bankrupt, reducing the frequency of competition and revolution.

However, I was interested to learn that the lifetime employment system is very attractive to the Chinese people.

They are similar to Japanese internships in that Link Company assists people who want to work in Japan with language learning and hold career events.

Japan is facing a rapidly declining birthrate and aging population, and it is expected that the number of workers will decrease even more in the future.

So, I think these activities will have great merit and significance for Japan as well.

I appreciate that you are close to Japanese culture.

Who you want  to be more important than what you want to do.

I think it’s good for my motivation.

Also, I will keep in mind that whether you have trust in society or not is important for work.

Thank you very much for your time today.

今回、就職活動中の学生も参加していたため、就職活動を振り返るきっかけにもなり、会社や仕事の決め方について「自分が何をしたいか」よりも、「自分がどうなりたいか」を軸にして考える、ということについて印象に残りました、という感想を多くいただきました。
