In this blog post, we will look at how you can convincingly convey your thorough self-management experience and willingness to perform harmonious roles within an organization in a self-introduction letter for a general affairs position.
Growth
Unlike me, who had only vague dreams of becoming an artist or scientist when I was young, my sister was the type of person who had a strong imagination and determination to set clear goals for herself. Whenever our relatives sat us down on their laps and asked us, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” “ I would answer differently depending on what I was interested in at the time, such as president, astronaut, or teacher. My sister, on the other hand, would give a clear answer about when she would graduate from college, what she would study, what company she would join, and what skills she would focus on developing to make herself stand out. She was like a promising young talent. There is a saying that “only those who are prepared can seize opportunities,” and my sister was a person who knew how to cultivate herself as a talented individual with qualities and preparedness that set her apart from others.
Whenever I saw my mother diligently preparing meals for my father and taking care of us, I sometimes dreamed of becoming a good wife and mother, and I felt inferior, thinking that my dreams were too modest compared to my sister’s. When I think about it, my sister was special in that she was able to have such a clear blueprint for her future from a young age, and as someone who was greatly influenced by her, I was always determined to work hard so that I wouldn’t fall behind her. However, when I watched animal-related programs, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian or a pet shop owner, and when I went to a concert with my parents, I admired the musicians, and when I stopped by a bakery near my house, I naturally imagined a future surrounded by delicious bread. Unlike my sister, I couldn’t set a clear goal for myself, so I was just swept away by the endless possibilities of my childhood.
School life
How could I have a clear goal like my sister? I was always searching for my own path, driven by that curiosity. My sister had already written out her future plans on several sheets of paper when she was young, and she had the determination to become the kind of person who could achieve the future she wanted. She was always focused and worked hard to achieve her goals. Rather than just focusing on getting good grades, she was always actively involved in various activities, such as language studies, volunteer work, and building relationships and a good reputation at school, and she knew how to steadily pave the way to achieve her goals.
Seeing her like that, I felt anxious that I was falling behind, so I had no choice but to study hard and improve my grades. My sister always paid attention to her overall grades and worked hard to maintain a certain average, but she also understood in detail what kind of professional skills were required for the job she wanted to do, and she studied hard to acquire those skills. This was the opposite of me, who was struggling to improve my grades without a clear idea of what I wanted to do or how to get there. People have limited time and energy, so unless you are a natural all-rounder, you need to focus on the areas you are good at and strengthen your strengths. I learned this from my sister.
Personality
I am the type of person who always makes detailed plans before doing anything. When I was young, my sister showed her versatility in various fields, and I learned from her that the secret to her success was that she set firm goals, worked hard without wasting time, and invested more time than others. By preparing thoroughly and making sure I am ready for anything, the chances of failure are significantly reduced, and I can become more familiar with the actual work, which helps me feel more secure.
In addition, I was deeply impressed by my sister’s lesson that one’s efforts should be hidden in the dark, but the results should be displayed in the light for everyone to see, so I worked hard to develop my acting skills so that I could display my abilities as if they were “innate.” In order to stand out from others and show my exceptional abilities, I took my sister’s advice to heart, which was that I had to be confident in my abilities from the start, as if I had started from a different starting line. As a result, I was able to gain an advantage in various competitions and fully demonstrate my abilities.
Values
If you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win every battle. In terms of job hunting, the “enemy” is the company you want to join, and you need to find out what qualities and abilities they require. “Yourself” means that you need to have the judgment to determine whether you have the right skills for the job. Just as all mutual exchanges can only be established when what the other party wants and what I have are in line with each other, in order to become the kind of person that the company I want to work for truly wants, it is important to go beyond simply striving to become a talented person with excellent abilities and knowledge, and to focus on refining my qualities based on the competencies required by the company.
In addition, since it takes sufficient time to hone the skills that will make you stand out from the crowd, if you do not select specific areas of your qualities and focus on self-training, you will easily end up as a mediocre talent who is not appealing to any job. Just as it is necessary to focus your efforts on the important themes and descriptive elements in genres such as painting and literature, while reducing your efforts in other areas, your efforts as a person must also be calculated in the same way.
Motivation for applying and aspirations after joining the company
No matter how advanced technology becomes and how sophisticated civilization becomes, people still play an important role in running a company. In an era where higher education is taken for granted, it is becoming increasingly important to establish a place for interaction between companies seeking talented individuals and job seekers trying to escape the competitive market. Your company meets the needs of both companies and job seekers, helps them refine the qualities they value most in each other, and works to reduce the socially problematic unemployment rate by providing a place where they can engage in mutually satisfying transactions.
In order to become the kind of person I aspire to be, I have always looked up to my older sister, who has worked hard to improve herself since she was young, and I have come to realize how important job hunting is in a person’s life. I would like to become a cog in the wheel that helps society run more smoothly by working for your company, which plays an important role in the job market. Therefore, my goal is to strive to become a well-rounded individual who can contribute to the long-term development of society and the enhancement of the company’s capabilities.
