I’m Omatsu, a member of the Business Management Department.
I would like to talk about why I joined Dandelions and my impressions after joining.
Career bakcground
I joined the company in November last year as a mid-career hire.
Previously, I worked for seven years as a sales clerk at a trading company that handled auto parts.
Reason for joining the company
I was planning to continue working at my previous job, but due to the effects of the coronavirus, my work style changed, and I became interested in the IT industry, which led me to change jobs.
There were many IT companies out there, but I applied to Dandelions because I was attracted to their evaluation system, which is posted on their website, and the atmosphere of the company. During the interview, I learned about the atmosphere of the company and felt more motivated to work there, which made my intention to join the company even stronger.
Impressions after joining the company
After actually joining the company, I feel that the work content and working style are new.
Thanks to the rough dialogue and communication, I am able to work in a safe and comfortable environment.
During work, I have quiet time, which makes it easier to concentrate and work. There are many new discoveries to be made in a global environment, and it’s really fun when it comes to communicating. I can learn about different ways of thinking and cultures through casual conversations, and I can also naturally remember the meanings of English words, so I feel that it’s not just a work environment, but a learning environment.
Self-introduction
I am from Ama City, Aichi Prefecture.
The city was created 14 years ago by the merger of Jinmeji Town, Shippo Town, and Miwa Town. It’s not too rural, but it’s a place that is characterized by the fact that there isn’t anything that stands out. Sometimes it feels inconvenient, but I like that little bit of inconvenience! If I had to introduce it to you, it would be Jinmeji Kannon. During the New Year’s visit and Setsubun seasons, the area is crowded with people from the nearest station, Jinmeji Station. When I was in elementary school, I was able to leave school before the crowds on Setsubun Day, so I looked forward to going out with my friends.
It takes about 20 to 30 minutes from Nagoya Station, so if you have time, be sure to visit.
If there are no events going on, you can take your time and look around.
Personally, I would like you to visit during the lively times of New Year’s visit and Setsubun.
Last words
It’s been about half a year since I joined the company, but there are still many things I’m not used to and my days are exhausting. However, I am able to feel that it is more rewarding. There are many opportunities to interact with members who work at customer sites, and we have created an environment where you can quickly become familiar. Therefore, when I actually joined the company, I realized that it is a company that is very employee-friendly!
That’s all for now.
Look forward to the next employee introduction!
