You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
朝一、転職エージェントからの入電。エントリーしている企業の１次面接が夕方に入ったとのこと。対面での面接を提案していたが、結果してリモートに。
I received a call from my recruitment consultant early this morning. He informed me that the first-round interview is scheduled for this evening. Initially, we had requested an in-person interview, but it seems it will now be conducted remotely.
出社しており、さすがに会社で受けることはできないので、エージェントの会社の会議室を借りることに。
Since I was at the office today and unable to use a meeting room in my company for the interview, he suggested we use his company’s meeting room instead.
１次面接ということで、まずは人事担当。なんと、２年前にエントリーしたときと同じ面接官である。当時まだ１度も転職してなかったわたしに、転職はRPGゲームでいうところの武器を取り換えること、とインパクトある一言を残してくれた人だった。
To my surprise, the interviewer turned out to be the same person from HR who conducted my interview with the same company two years ago. During that previous interview, I was aiming to transition from my first job, and her analogy of job changes being akin to changing weapons in a role-playing game left a lasting impression on me.
結果はパスできたけど、面接中に面接官からは厳しいことを言われた。ジョブホッパーになりつつあり、今回の転職はかなり難しくなるだろうと。もし可能なら、もう少し現職でトライしてみるのもいいのではないかと。
Despite successfully advancing to the next round this time, she cautioned me about the risks associated with frequent job changes. Becoming a job hopper would make future job changes even more challenging, she warned, and advised me to consider staying with my current company for a few more years.
厳しい意見の割に、パスしてしまったことに疑問が残るものの、いずれにしても、どんなタイミングでも転職はがんばれば可能だとわかったので、焦らず進めていくのがいいのかなと。
Although her advice was to refrain from changing jobs, I found it interesting that I still managed to pass her interview. Regardless, this experience has taught me that I have the ability to change jobs whenever I decide to. As a result, I’ve decided not to rush into anything and to proceed with my job change plans with careful consideration.
To be continued.
