In this blog post, we will introduce ways to naturally and convincingly include core competencies such as physical strength, perseverance, and creativity, which are suitable for an insect research institute, in your self-introduction letter.
Growth
My parents emphasized that when faced with a problem, I should examine it from multiple angles and come up with various solutions. With this educational policy, my parents gave me many opportunities to expand my thinking through experience. As a result, I was able to accumulate knowledge through experience. Many experiential activities and training activities helped me not only in terms of knowledge but also in terms of physical fitness, and they also helped me develop leadership skills. Through these experiences, I was able to develop the ability to adapt to new environments, which I believe helped me make friends easily wherever I went, even though I moved frequently. My parents are my biggest supporters and helpers. Whenever I encountered difficulties, they did not solve them for me, but provided me with clues to solve them. I used to envy my friends whose parents did everything for them, but now I am grateful to my parents for teaching me how to solve problems on my own. That is why I often think that I want to be a helper to others, just like my parents. I have always dreamed of becoming a person who is needed by society, and at the same time, I have hoped to be a person who is helpful to society. To achieve this, I always look around me and think about where my help is needed. I believe this is why the members of my organization follow me well. As a leader, I strive to take care of those around me rather than asserting my authority. I will demonstrate this leadership at your company and become an indispensable member of your team.
School days
During my college years, I participated in the “National Land Expedition” event hosted by ○○○ to gain various experiences. When I was in high school, I envied my brother who had participated in the National Land Expedition, with his sunburned face and mature appearance, so I applied for the event as soon as I heard about it. This experience was a time when I could burn my youth. Through the arduous journey of walking and walking, I learned to overcome myself and gained the courage to endure difficult situations. Above all, my friends who were with me during those difficult times were a great source of strength. Perhaps it was because our friendship was forged in difficult circumstances. I still keep in touch with my friends from that time and reminisce about our experiences.
I had a team project assignment in a liberal arts class. Perhaps because it was a liberal arts class, there were students from a wide variety of majors. At first, I thought it would be better to do more specialized research with students from the same department rather than with students from different departments. However, the professor organized the teams so that students from different departments could work together. While working on the project, I realized the importance of multifaceted thinking, which my parents had emphasized since I was a child. I was surprised to find that even the same problem could be viewed from different perspectives depending on one’s major. Through this experience, I deeply realized the importance of convergent thinking and paradigm shifts. I will never forget this realization and will strive to achieve the best results through creative thinking in my work.
Hobbies
I pride myself on my strong physical strength and perseverance. I believe that physical strength is necessary for any task, so I enjoy mountain climbing. When I climb a mountain and breathe in the fresh air, I feel refreshed and all my problems disappear. In addition to physical strength, climbing to the top of a mountain requires perseverance, or the ability to not give up halfway. I was able to develop both of these qualities through mountain climbing. I believe that the physical strength and perseverance I gained through my hobby of mountain climbing will be a great asset in my life. I am confident that I can faithfully carry out your company’s work with my physical strength and steadfastness.
Motivation for applying and aspirations
I applied for this position with the desire to contribute to the growth of your company by making the most of my strong physical strength, perseverance, and efficient time management skills. My strong physical strength has helped me develop a strong mental fortitude. As a creative person with a diverse way of thinking, my goal is to bring innovation to your company. As I take my first steps into society, I am full of confidence and passion. I am confident that I will work hard at any task, become an indispensable member of your company, and successfully lead all of your projects. I will prove that my determination is not just empty words.
