In this blog post, we will introduce the core values you should include in your IT/Human Resources self-introduction letter and how to structure your story based on your experiences.
Growth
There may be many reasons why people like other people, but I have loved people since I was a child. Perhaps it was the warmth of people, regardless of age or gender, that meant the most to me. When I was born, I was said to be very friendly and liked to get along with everyone. Even now, I tend to feel lonely when I am alone, and when someone is around, I always try my best to maintain a positive relationship with them. The idea that people are our greatest asset has become my personal philosophy through my long life. My father worked at what is now a community center, which used to be a neighborhood office. Even though he was a civil servant, it was not a socially prestigious job at the time. However, my father was very satisfied with his job. It was not a job that paid particularly well or was popular, but he found greater satisfaction in helping others. My father’s daily life was not particularly special, but it was mostly like this. Young people don’t worry much about filling out forms or knowing what information to include because they know what they need. However, my father always worried about older people who didn’t know how to read or what to do. So, he said that when he helps those people, he feels very happy and that he has had a very rewarding day. Seeing this, I always do my best to help others in any way I can when I see them struggling on the street. My mother is also a civil servant, but unlike my father, she does not do general office work. However, without realizing it, I seem to have taken after my father in many ways. While it is important to do your job professionally, I find treating people as people to be even more appealing.
School days
In elementary school, I think I always liked playing with my friends more than anything else. I remember playing on the school playground until it got dark after school every day. I liked soccer and running. In middle school, I loved sports and hanging out with my friends so much that I was the head of the physical education club every year. I thought that was how you made friends. Once, something like this happened. I had a best friend who was like a brother to me. We had been friends since childhood, but we were in different classes. Once, I went to his class and we started playing around, but it turned into a fight. However, because we were in different classes, the kids in my class saw this and started a fight between our classes. I shouted, “It’s just a fight between my best friends, so please stop!” In the end, the fight was settled, but I still felt uneasy. So, I suggested that the kids play a soccer game, and later we even had a competition between the two grades. I’m not telling you this to talk about fighting, but because you never know how relationships will turn out, I always believed that you should never do anything bad or hurt anyone. When I went to high school, I became the student council president. All of my friends helped me a lot, and I always received a lot of support in my work, which I believe made all of this possible. These connections continued into college, where I was always surrounded by people because I was actively involved in my department and club activities and always did my best. I have always grown up with a heart that values connections.
Strengths and weaknesses
Just because I like people doesn’t mean that I accept all their shortcomings. I believe that if you are truly doing something for someone, you have to tell them when they are wrong. This happened when I was working part-time. I used to work at a gas station, and I noticed that a friend of mine who worked there was taking one or two rolls of toilet paper from the gas station supplies. At the time, the gas station was giving out toilet paper as a gift, so I thought that one or two rolls would add up to a significant amount later on. So I told him that he shouldn’t do that. He got angry at me, saying that I was being presumptuous. I was very surprised by his reaction because I thought we were close. However, I told him that I was doing it for his own good, and I didn’t tell the boss because I thought the truth would come out eventually. About a month later, the boss found out, and my colleague was fired. My strength is that when I see something wrong, I speak up immediately, regardless of the person’s age or position.
On the other hand, I know that this can be a weakness in human relationships. However, I always believe that principles and rules must be upheld. I just make sure that the way I point out mistakes is not rude to the other person.
Career
Before graduating from college, I took a leave of absence and worked at a large supermarket, carrying goods. Later, my experience was recognized, and after graduating, I worked as a health food display clerk at a department store. I didn’t just sell products, but also worked as a manager for each section and was in charge of personnel management. At first, I felt more comfortable working with children who were younger than me, but I realized that older people with more experience were better at working efficiently. That’s why I learned that a person’s qualities are more important than their age when it comes to getting work done, and I still work that way today.
Motivation for applying and aspirations
Albert Einstein once said, “The ideals that illuminated my path and gave me the courage to face life with joy were kindness, beauty, and truth. I have always despised the trivial things in life, such as human effort, possessions, external success, and luxury.”
I believe that the reason people can be human is not because they believe that their beliefs will be rewarded someday, but because it is a natural phenomenon that makes them happy through other people. I think that the reason we help each other in our social lives is not only for the sake of reward, but because helping each other makes us happier. I believe that managing people is also a process for mutual happiness, and that reward and success are just incidental benefits.
Most people say that we must change with the times. However, I believe that there are certain truths in this world that never change. I believe that the most important of these truths is trust between people. That is why I decided to apply for this job, as I always have high expectations and trust in people, and believe that I am well suited to this work.
If I am hired by your company, I will always value people, open my heart based on trust and confidence, and become a role model for everyone, contributing to the company.
