You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
先日、通勤途中に読んだ本に、成功できた理由を考えろ、という文言があった。
Two days ago, while commuting to the office, I read a book that emphasized the importance of analyzing the reasons for success in order to become successful.
それを読んでふと思う。今回の転職に成功した理由を分析していなかったと。本を閉じて、新幹線の中でその理由を考えてみた。
It made me pause and reflect on the reasons behind my own success in job interviews. I closed the book and pondered this question during my Shinkansen ride.
まず１つ目は、練習をしっかりやってきたことがあげられる。あともう一つは入りたいという誠意を見せられたこと。というか、面接に大事なことは、この２つに集約されると思う。
Upon reflection, I realized that there were two key factors that contributed to my success. Firstly, I dedicated ample time to practice and prepare for the interviews. Secondly, I was able to effectively convey my genuine interest in the company. These two tips, in my opinion, summarize the most crucial elements for a successful job change.
経歴を誤魔化す訳にいかないし、今持っている武器をどう使うかが全てである。そのためには、しっかり自分の経歴を棚卸ししてアピールポイントを見つけることが大事。
Since I cannot fabricate my experience, the key lies in how I can effectively utilize and showcase my strengths to the interviewers. Conducting a personal inventory of my life experiences proved helpful in identifying my strong points.
そして、それを自信を持ってアピールすること。それが今回はうまくできた。ただし、日本語に限ってであり、英語面接に関しては、運も味方につけることができたと感じた。
Armed with this self-awareness, I was able to confidently discuss these strengths during the interviews. I believe this approach worked well for my interviews, particularly in a Japanese context. However, I also acknowledge that luck played a role in my success during English interviews. Overall, the book and my reflections have reinforced the importance of thoughtful preparation and leveraging my strengths in order to achieve success in job interviews.
To be continued.
