Employee Introduction

Self Introduction:

Thank you for taking the time to read this. My name is Hachi, and I joined the company in April 2024. On my days off, I practice Tsugaru shamisen (a traditional Japanese stringed instrument). It’s an unexpectedly powerful instrument where the body of the guitar acts as a drum, and you strike it with a bachi (Japanese drumstick). My teacher is in a band called KUNI-KEN, which has performed at the Japan Expo in France. I wish to perform internationally someday too.

While working abroad is still a bit out of reach for me, I will be participating in a concert organized by my current school next year. If you don’t touch your instrument for at least a little bit every day, before you know it, you’ll lose your ability to play. So I practice everyday quietly in the middle of the night.

 Participating in a shamisen mini-recital
 I’ll also be taking part here a bit

Why I joined the company:

After working in administrative roles for a long time, I became interested in programming when I learned about automating simple tasks using Excel VBA. I studied Java for six months through vocational training and then joined Dandelions. The deciding factor for me was the presence of employees from different nationalities. While I love Japan, I wanted to experience working in a more international environment though while still residing in Japan.

My thoughts after joining:

It’s been six months since I joined, and although there have been challenges along the way, I’m just now starting to hit my stride. There are still many things that I want to improve on, but every day is fulfilling as I interact with customers and master new skills. We have companywide get-together events every month and recently, we even went on a company trip to Fukuoka. Conversations about cultural differences between Japan and other countries are always lively. I am looking forward to growing further and doing even more in the future.

Stay tuned for the next blog post!

自己紹介

ご覧いただきありがとうございます。2024年4月に入社しました、はちといいます。休日は津軽三味線を練習しています。ギターの胴が太鼓になっていて、バチを叩きつけるようにして弾く、意外とパワフルな楽器です。私の先生はKUNI-KENというバンドをやっていて、フランスのジャパンエキスポに出演していました。私も海外公演あこがれます。

海外はまだまだ無理ですが、来年には今通ってるスクールの企画のコンサートに参加します。毎日少しでも練習しないと、あっという間に指が動かなくなるので、夜中にこっそり練習する毎日です。

三味線ミニ発表会に参加
こちらにも少し参加します

入社したきっかけ

事務職を長くしていた中で、エクセルのVBAを使って単純作業の自動化ができると知ってからプログラムに興味を持ち、職業訓練でJavaを半年勉強した後ダンデライオンズに入社しました。決め手はやはり他国籍な社員がいる会社だという点でした。日本は大好きですが、日本以外の環境でも働いてみたいけど、日本で働きたかったというのがその理由です。

入社してからの感想

入社してから半年、色々と大変でしたが少し落ち着いてきた所です。仕事はまだまだ分からないことも多いですが、お客様と直接お話したり、できないことができるようになったり、毎日充実しています。社員同士は毎月交流会もありますし、社員旅行で福岡にも行ってきました。やはり、日本と諸外国の文化の違いなど話すと盛り上がりますね。これからさらに色々できるように頑張っていきたいと思います。

Hello everyone!
This is Junpei from the second unit.
We are once again fortunate to have welcomed three new employees to Dandelions Co., Ltd. this year.
This time, we will introduce the new employee welcome party held in April.

First, a toast!! ~ pleasant conversation

The welcome party started with a toast signal from the organizer.

Many of our members work at our clients’ offices due to work circumstances, so we had a great time talking about our recent activities and hobbies, even though we don’t usually see each other.

New employee greetings

As the atmosphere started to heat up, we asked the new employees to introduce themselves.

The three new employees were of various nationalities and backgrounds, and although they were nervous, they talked about themselves.

L-kun from China, who loves Gundam
L-kun from Vietnam, who loves traveling and has visited various parts of Japan
K-san, who changed jobs from a different industry and has a lot of work experience

Summary
The new employees seemed nervous at first, but as the conversation progressed, their tension gradually eased, and it was a very enjoyable welcome party.
In fact, Dandelions is planning on welcoming new members in the future,
and we hope to provide an opportunity like this for them to deepen their friendships (and drink) when they do.

This blog will continue to introduce various in-house recreational activities,
so please look forward to the next article!

社内レクリエーション -新入社員歓迎会-

第2ユニットのじゅんぺーです。
今年も有難いことに3名の新入社員を株式会社ダンデライオンズに迎えることができました。

今回は4月に開催されました、新入社員歓迎会の様子をご紹介します。

まずは乾杯!! ~ 歓談

まずは幹事の乾杯合図で歓迎会スタートです。

わが社では業務の都合上お客様先で作業をするメンバーが多く、普段顔を合わせないメンバー同士など近況や趣味の話でここぞとばかり盛り上がりました。

新入社員ご挨拶

場も盛り上がってきたところで、新入社員の方々に自己紹介をしていただきました。
国籍も経歴も様々なお三方でしたが、緊張しつつも自分のことを話してくれました。

ガンダムが大好きな中国出身のLくん
旅行が大好きで日本各地を訪れた経験があるベトナム出身のLくん
異業種からの転職で社会人経験豊富なKさん

まとめ

最初は緊張の様子だった新入社員も歓談が進む中で段々と緊張の糸がほぐれたようで、とても楽しい歓迎会となりました。
実はダンデライオンズでは今後も新しいメンバーが加わる予定で、
その際にもこのように親睦を深める(お酒が飲める)場を設けられればと思っています。

このブログでは今後も様々な社内レクリエーションの様子も紹介していきますので、
次回の記事もお楽しみに!

Technician Blog – UTM Enhancement Settings

I will introduce the learning contents that I am working on on a daily basis as a technician blog.
This time, it is the third unit on the theme of infrastructure.

The third unit is managing the Dandelions’ internal network. To strengthen its security, we have introduced a UTM device called FortiGate. “UTM” is an abbreviation for “Unified Threat Management”. In other words, one device can manage the entire network security.

In this technician blog, we will introduce three functions of FortiGate.

① Email filter

As a measure against spam, FortiGate can check the contents of the emails it receives and add any tag to the subject of emails that are detected as suspected spam.

The tag [Spam] is added.

② Intrusion prevention

This function prevents program vulnerabilities, botnets, and other intrusions. “Other intrusions” are, for example, attempts to access the server’s authentication files.

Prevents access to the authentication files of Linux servers.

③ Application Control

You might think that this is a function that allows you to disable certain applications (programs), but it can also restrict the use of websites, not just programs that can be executed individually.

You can restrict the use of YouTube (website) in detail.

Please look forward to the next Technician Blog.

Employee Introduction

Thank you for visiting.

Hello, my name is Roru and I joined Dandelions in April this year.

Reason for joining the company

I started job hunting in Japan last year and joined Dandelions in April this year. The reason I joined the company was when I saw Dandelions’ official blog and thought the atmosphere looked fun. I could tell that the company values ​​diversity and inclusion.

And Dandelions has foreign employees from various countries. I think that working together with people from different cultures and backgrounds can broaden your international perspective. I applied for the company for those two reasons. I felt a warmth during the interview. That’s when I decided to join the company.

Thoughts after joining the company

After joining the company, I had a training period of about three months, during which I received basic IT knowledge training and basic training in programming languages. I learned about the basic grammar and concepts of programming languages. Training in basic programming concepts such as variables, conditional branching, repetition, and functions will help me with future coding. In the HTML and CSS training, I learned about the structure of web pages. I learned how to mark up content using HTML and set styles using CSS. By learning how to write HTML and how to apply CSS, I was able to create web pages that are easier to read and more beautiful. In the SQL training, I learned about data manipulation such as adding, updating, and deleting data. I think that creating subqueries using joins will be useful for data manipulation in actual work. In addition, training was given to acquire effective communication skills in business situations. I learned about appropriate language, how to greet, and points to keep in mind when communicating via email and phone.
There is a lot to learn in the training content, but the employees teach me carefully. It is always easy to listen to, and the atmosphere is bright and warm. I would like to work harder in the future.

About me

Before coming to Japan, I studied Japanese on my own because I was interested in Japanese anime and culture. I graduated from a liberal arts university in China and decided to study abroad in Japan, and then enrolled in a liberal arts graduate school in Japan. Then, I joined Dandelions in April of this year.
My hobby is watching anime and manga. I have watched a lot of anime. Among them, I especially like the “Mobile Suit Gundam” series. I took advantage of my day off and went to Yokohama to see the 18m life-sized moving Gundam. I thought it looked really cool when the Gundam moved. I also enjoyed the Unicorn Gundam statue in Odaiba.

社員紹介

ご覧いただきありがとうございます。
はじめまして、今年4月ダンデライオンズに入社した中国出身の「ロル」です。

入社のきっかけ

去年は日本で就職活動を始めて、今年4月にダンデライオンズに入社することになりました。入社するきっかけは、ダンデライオンズの公式ブログを見たとき、雰囲気が楽しそうです。会社が多様性と包括性を大切にしていることが伝わりました。
そして、ダンデライオンズでいろいろな国出身の外国人社員がいます。異なる文化や背景を持つ人々と協力しながら仕事をすることで、国際的な視野を広げることができると思います。その2つの理由て応募しました。まだ、面接の時に、あたたかさを感じました。その時、入社を決めました。

入社後の感想

入社してからは3か月ほど研修期間があり、基本的なIT知識の研修、プログラミング言語の基礎研修を受けました。プログラミング言語の基本的な文法や概念について学びました。変数、条件分岐、繰り返し、関数などの基本的なプログラミング概念を研修することで、将来のコーディングに繋がります。HTMLとCSSの研修では、ウェブページの構造について学びました。HTMLを使ってコンテンツのマークアップを行い、CSSを使ってスタイルを設定する方法を習得しました。HTMLの書き方や、CSSの適用方法について学ぶことで、より見やすく綺麗なウェブページを作成することができるようになりました。SQLの研修では、データの追加、更新、削除などのデータ操作について学びました。結合を使った副問い合わせの作成方法は実際の業務でのデータ操作に役立つと思います。他にビジネスシーンでの効果的なコミュニケーションスキルを身につけるための研修が行われました。適切な言葉遣いや挨拶の仕方、メールや電話でのコミュニケーションのポイントなどについて学びました。
研修内容は学ぶこと多いですが、社員の皆さんは丁寧に教えてくれます。いつも聞きやすい、明るくあたたかい雰囲気です。今後もっとがんばりたいと思います。

自己紹介

来日前、日本のアニメや文化に興味があるため、独学で日本語を勉強していました。中国で文系の大学を卒業し、日本に留学することを決意し、その後、日本の文系大学院に入学しました。そして、今年の4月にダンデライオンズに入社しました。
趣味はアニメや漫画を観ることです。たくさんのアニメを見ました。その中で、特に「機動戦士ガンダム」の作品が好きです。休日を利用し、横浜にて動く18mの実物大ガンダムを見ました。現場のガンダムが動くとき、その姿がかっこいいと感じました。他には、お台場のユニコーンガンダム立像も楽しかった。

Stress Care Course – 2024 –


I am Omatsu, a member of the Business Management Department, and I will be writing this blog post. This time, I will be giving a free introduction about the “Stress Care Course” that I took on June 21st.

Course Contents


There are various causes of social problems in Japan, such as insomnia and dementia, but everyone has stress, and it is an inseparable problem.
In the past, it was said that “colds are the root of all diseases,” but nowadays it is said that “stress is the root of all diseases,” and if you continue to hold stress for a long time, it will cause mental and physical illnesses, so you must take care of your stress. In addition, stress is not only a problem for adults, but also for children, and it has become a major social problem.

“Dementia, infectious diseases, stress, mind care” These can be prevented with aromatherapy, and it has recently begun to attract attention in Japan.

① Stress also affects the body
The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and this balance is important. The sympathetic nervous system is active during the day, while the parasympathetic nervous system is active when you are sleeping or relaxing. Stress is one of the causes of this imbalance.

External stimuli are called stressors, and if the stressor is too strong, it can cause mental and physical disorders. There are many types of stressors, but the biggest problem in modern times is psychological and social stressors. It is necessary to develop the ability to respond to these differences and diversity in thinking.

It is also important to know how to release the stress you receive. Examples of ways to release stress include traveling and eating, but these methods of release are no longer possible due to the coronavirus pandemic, and aromatherapy has begun to be reconsidered as a way to relieve stress. In Japan, it is thought of as a miscellaneous item, but in Europe, it is in every household’s medicine cabinet, like Oronine in Japan.

② We actually experienced the aroma!
There are some points to keep in mind when smelling the aroma.

  1. Sit on a chair or sit cross-legged with your back straight.
  2. Close your eyes and inhale through your nose (4 seconds).
  3. Hold your breath (4 seconds).
  4. Exhale slowly through your mouth (6 seconds).
    Repeat this for 5 minutes. When you are stressed, you tend to breathe shallowly without realizing it, so consciously take deep breaths to relax your muscles and prepare your body.

Measure against stress by choosing an aroma that suits your purpose, such as improving your concentration, balancing your female hormones, feeling energized, or relaxing!

Summary


After taking the last sleep course, my interest in aromas has grown, so I was personally very much looking forward to this stress care course. By taking this course, I learned that aromas are good for stress. What surprised me most about the course content was that stress can also be prevented. I received a lavender aroma mist as a gift this time, and I spray it on my pillow before going to sleep. Thanks to the aroma mist, I was able to relax and I am less irritated than before. I would like to continue to actively incorporate aromas in the future so that I can reduce stress.

Please look forward to the next blog!

Employee Introduction

Thank you for viewing.

Nice to meet you. My name is Dat and I joined Dandelions in April this year. I’m from Vietnam. I look forward to working with you.

Reason for joining the company

When I looked at the Dandelions website, I felt that it was an environment where I could work in harmony with everyone. Also, I am interested in IT technology and always want to learn new things, so I studied information systems at school and wanted to use that knowledge to contribute to society. Furthermore, Dandelions has many employees with foreign nationality, so I felt I could work in a global environment and decided to join the company.

My impression after joining the company

Of the things I learned in class as a student, the things that are useful to me now are Excel operations and programming. I joined the company as a beginner in almost everything. When I joined Dandelions, I felt anxious at first and always felt nervous because I had to get used to it quickly, but thanks to everyone’s careful guidance and casual conversations, I have gotten used to the atmosphere of the workplace. I look forward to continuing to work with you all and growing together.

Self-introduction

I am an employee who loves food and traveling! Trying new foods and visiting new places have enriched my life. My hobby is traveling around Japan and experiencing the culture and traditional cuisine of each place. I also enjoy recreating the delicious food I have eaten while traveling. I would like to enjoy working with my seniors while sharing the charm of food and traveling!

Furthermore, one of the places I have visited that has left a particularly strong impression on me is Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto. Around Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you can enjoy delicious foods such as matcha ice cream and Japanese sweets. Even at work, I try to create different cultures and new ideas. I would like to create a fun working environment together with my team. Thank you for your support!

Look forward to the next blog update! ! !
