Thank you for reading.
I’m “Gifukko,” and I’ve just joined the company.
In this post, I’d like to talk about what led me to join the Dandelions and my impressions since joining.
The reason I joined the company
During my college years, I was a student in the College of Agriculture and was in an environment that had little to do with the IT industry. I conducted research on microorganisms at university, and thinking I could apply my knowledge of agriculture, I took a job at a food processing plant after graduation.
I worked at my previous job for about two years. The work centered on assembly line tasks and required me to perform set procedures with precision.
During that time, I had the opportunity to work with embedded systems—commonly known as microcomputers—and watching my senior colleagues handle them sparked my interest in technology. That encounter prompted me to start studying IT.
However, when the senior colleague I had looked up to resigned, I began to think deeply about my own future. I decided I wanted to be in an environment where I could grow while learning new technologies, so I resolved to make a career change to the IT industry. The reason I applied to Dandelions was that I was drawn to the positive atmosphere I sensed during the interview. I was attracted to an environment where each person could work naturally, rather than one with a rigid corporate culture.
Impressions After Joining the Company
My previous job focused mainly on assembly line work, so it involved consistently performing set tasks. In contrast, my current job gives me the opportunity to learn something new every day.
Sometimes I struggle to solve problems and feel embarrassed. Even so, I can really feel my knowledge growing little by little, and I’m happy to see myself improving.
Since we’re an IT company, technical skills are obviously required, but because I also have opportunities to work at client sites, I feel that communication skills are important as well. We have training sessions for handling phone calls and face-to-face interactions. I was a bit nervous about it at first, but through daily practice, I feel I’m gradually improving.
There are also foreign nationals working at our company. Everyone speaks Japanese very well, and when I think about how much effort they must have put in to become fluent in a foreign language, I truly admire them.
The overall atmosphere at the company is great, and I feel it’s an environment where I can learn freely and comfortably.
Self‑Introduction
My hobby is visiting hot springs. I’ve been to every super sentō in Nagoya. I really love taking my time soaking in lukewarm water, letting my body float, and just relaxing.
The moment after a long soak when I drink an ice-cold, sweet juice is the best.
Music production is also one of my hobbies. Lately, I’ve noticed that the wave of AI adoption is spreading throughout the music industry as well.
If I try to create everything with AI, the result won’t be the song I envision. However, by utilizing AI for tasks like analyzing vocals and instrument types or adding accompaniment, I can shorten the production time.
I think that in the future, music production will become a hobby that more people can easily enjoy.
