In this blog post, we will introduce examples of self-introduction letters that effectively convey the skills acquired through part-time jobs and internships during school days.

 

Working part-time with a sense of ownership

When I entered college, I considered myself an adult and started a part-time job with the idea that I had to take responsibility for my own finances. Part-time work was not only an opportunity to earn money, but also an opportunity to develop adaptability through social experience. As I started earning money, I was able to understand my father’s words, “It’s not easy to earn money.” I wanted to be the best at whatever I did, so even though I was just a part-time worker, I worked hard with a sense of ownership. My proactive and active work attitude stood out wherever I worked. Through my part-time job, I realized the importance of people management. I realized that an organization can succeed when it has many talented people who share the same goals. While working part-time, I saw many people who were just killing time. They did not enjoy their work. I thought that if they understood the organization’s goals and were willing to work together, they would be able to enjoy their work more. Working at Life, I learned how motivating it can be to share common goals with other members and how passionate I can be about my work. I was also able to develop organizational management and human resource management skills that bring out the passion in others.

 

 

Valuable social experience through part-time work

When I was in middle and high school, I enjoyed hanging out with my friends without any inhibitions. I enjoyed playing sports and running around with my friends at school. It took me 30 minutes to an hour to walk home, but when I was with my friends, I didn’t even notice the time passing. I always tried to be positive and help my friends when they were going through difficult times. I studied hard on my own, but with the full support of my parents, I was able to enter the university I am currently attending. After entering university, I felt embarrassed to be dependent on my parents, so I decided to get a part-time job to become independent. Of course, I lived in a boarding house for the first year, but I was able to save money by living in a dormitory where I could study, but I wanted to earn my own allowance. My parents always told me that I didn’t need to worry about tuition or other expenses, but I felt that if I couldn’t manage myself, I wouldn’t be able to manage my life, so I didn’t take any money from them. I worked part-time in a cold storage warehouse during the winter and did a lot of day labor at first. Then, in my fourth year, I decided to move out on my own with the money I had saved so that I could live a more professionally free life. I took on any part-time job I could find, including night shifts and weekend work, and gained valuable social experience.

 

 

Growth through various part-time jobs and club activities

My family’s financial situation was not good, so I had no choice but to do various part-time jobs. At the time, I thought it was hard work, but looking back now, I think it was a really good experience. Above all, it was an experience that taught me how to interact with people. I met various people while working night shifts at a convenience store, and I was able to meet and teach various children while working as a tutor and at a cram school. While doing physical labor such as inventory and factory work, I got to know some older women, and it was a valuable opportunity to hear what they were concerned about and what they wanted to do for their children’s education, as well as what kind of teachers they wanted for them. In addition to my part-time jobs, I was actively involved in various activities through a volunteer club at a children’s welfare center and a theater club. The most memorable experience was when both clubs got together and put on a play at a welfare center. It was a wonderful experience to act and play with the children, and it made me realize that using various media to reach children can be even more effective.

 

 

Research Project Ability, Life Science Technology Organizational Life Experience

When I entered university, I worked part-time at a convenience store during the school holidays. I didn’t have to worry about tuition fees, and I didn’t have any financial difficulties, but I started working part-time to overcome the narrow-minded relationships I had in middle and high school. Of course, it was also during this period that I developed the habit of observing people. As I progressed through my studies, I asked my professor if I could work as an intern at a company. Although it was only for a short period, I was able to experience working life, mainly helping to weigh beagles and assist with blood sampling and dissection. I didn’t gain a lot of experience, but this process helped me develop independence and the determination to work hard to achieve my goals.
Then, at medical school, I conducted research on the mechanism of cell death caused by environmental pollutants in rabbit cartilage cells and mouse cerebellar granule neurons. After that, I joined the Department of Brain Diseases and conducted research on SUMO protein, a factor that induces the production of amyloid beta, one of the causes of dementia, and found that SUMO protein binds to BACE protein and promotes the production of amyloid beta. My main responsibility was to culture cells and conduct in vitro experiments, so I am confident in my cell culture skills. In addition, I acquired research project execution skills and experienced laboratory organization in handling life science technologies while planning and conducting experiments for research projects.

 

 

I enjoy meeting new people

Getting to know new people is really fun. When I was in high school, the unfamiliar environment and new school were scary and nerve-wracking, but at the same time, I was excited to meet new friends and new people. It was not easy to leave my parents and take care of everything on my own, but when I think about how I was able to get through it with the help and emotional support of many friends, I believe that my early independence and new environment were valuable experiences that allowed me to meet many people for whom I am grateful.
Since I was living alone, I naturally started working part-time. I was a sales assistant at an electronics store, and although I was doing it to earn money, I thought of it as a way to meet new people, so I greeted the customers who came to the store with a smile and made eye contact, as if I were meeting friends. As a result, many customers would ask for me by name and say they wanted to talk to me, and I was recognized by the store and received more tips than my colleagues. I believe this was a result of my friendliness, which was noticed by customers from other stores, and it made me decide to approach other jobs with the same attitude.

 

 

Living a life of self-discovery

When I was in college, I worked many part-time jobs to save money for a trip to Prague. I even carried bricks at a construction site, which taught me the importance of building relationships with coworkers. My first day was so hard that I was sick the next day. I think I was able to persevere despite the difficulties thanks to the encouragement and support of my coworkers. I realized that nothing is impossible when everyone works together with the same goal in mind.
I worked in transportation at a delivery company. My job was to deliver packages to customers quickly and accurately. I believe that my experience of putting safety first and striving to keep my promises to customers will be very useful in my work at your company.
During my final semester of my senior year, I did an internship in distribution. I was in charge of assisting with the origin labeling process, which was a great experience that allowed me to learn the detailed procedures involved in distribution. I was able to study the specific details of origin labeling and promote this information to each business site and company. I also had the opportunity to explain the differences between domestic and imported agricultural products in educational programs for the general public, as well as for business sites and companies.

 

 

Learning practical skills through internship experience

I was selected as an outstanding student when I entered university and received a full scholarship for two years. I took various computer-related courses in the Information Processing Department. I decided that working for a general company would suit me better than a career in computers or IT, such as programming languages, hardware, or networks. I was enthusiastic about my major because the more I learned about computers, the more advantageous it would be, and there was nothing to waste. However, I also started studying computerized accounting in my spare time.
In particular, during the summer vacation, I participated in a computerized accounting program organized by the school’s industry-academic cooperation center, where I received four weeks of training and prepared for certification. In order to learn the Dozon program, I stayed after class until the computer room closed to practice, and I always arrived 30 minutes early before class to practice the program.
There was an industry-academic cooperation program related to my major, so I had the opportunity to participate in a one-month internship at a company. I did my internship at XX Co. Although it was an IT company, my main duties were document creation using Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. It was the best internship I could have asked for before entering the workforce. I was assigned to the general affairs department, where I worked on documents requested by employees. I was able to gain indirect experience with the company’s financial statements and learn how Excel and PowerPoint are used in practice. In addition, since I knew how to use the Dozon program, I was also given the task of entering data, which was a valuable opportunity to learn accounting.

 

 

I did various part-time jobs while attending college and gained office experience through internships

I did various part-time jobs while attending college. I enjoy working, and I find it very rewarding to earn money through my work. I also learned a lot through my part-time jobs. I enjoyed working at a concert hall. There are many women working at concert halls because they need to serve customers with great care, and to be honest, it was often more difficult to treat female colleagues well than to treat the audience. At that time, I learned how to get along well with many female colleagues, speak kindly, and resolve conflicts without hurting anyone’s feelings. I also gained experience working as a temporary office worker at a broadcasting station, where I became quite familiar with document creation and Excel. In addition, while working at busy stores such as fast food restaurants and coffee shops, I learned how to prioritize tasks according to their importance and how to work collaboratively.
In addition, through my internship, I was able to learn about the overall flow of work. I have one year of experience working as an intern at a small company specializing in online marketing, where I learned how work is done in general, such as answering phones, greeting people, attending meetings, creating PowerPoint presentations, winning contracts, and managing office documents and systems.

 

 

Part-time and internship experience

My work experience is very limited, but I will write about it anyway. Rather than office work, I took advantage of my outgoing personality and worked as a tutor, a teacher at a cram school, and a waiter at a cafe and restaurant. Through my work, I met many people and realized the truth of the saying, “A kind word is worth a thousand words.” I realized that even if you say the same thing or ask for the same thing, the way you say it can make it enjoyable or unpleasant, and I began to think a lot about how I could be more considerate of others when talking and sharing opinions. Through meeting many people and many good seniors at that time, I learned how to treat others.
I did my internship at an educational company. It was a company that created books, planned, and developed content in collaboration with a learning materials company. While working there, I learned about the overall operations of a content company, and what caught my attention was the synergy effect of people doing work that suited their aptitudes. Watching the people at the company, I realized that greetings are very important, and I decided that I wanted to be someone who sees the right people in the right place at the right time and coordinates them, rather than someone who plans things. That is why I decided to apply for a job at your company.

 

 

Experiencing society through an internship

In my senior year, thanks to an MOU signed between my university and a department store, I had the opportunity to work as an intern at the department store for a month. I majored in business administration, so I was assigned to the human resources department to provide administrative support. On my first day of work, wearing a suit, I was very excited and nervous, but soon I felt a sense of responsibility knowing that I would soon be a working adult after graduating from college.
During my internship, I was in charge of organizing, storing, and sending documents related to human resources. I had some know-how about organization, so I organized everything that I thought was inefficient while performing my duties.
While complying with document storage standards and principles, I also made suggestions to my team leader about areas for improvement. Although it was only a month of work experience, I was able to experience the atmosphere of a general company, and by actually doing the work, I was able to shake off my fears about working in society and gain confidence.
