（就活）38年間、その仕事をやる覚悟があるか？

就活をする大学生は、ひたすら有名な会社に入りたがる。だが、大切なのは、会社の名前ではなくて、仕事内容だろう。例えば、証券会社のリテール（個人）営業とか、損保の自動車保険や代理店営業、メーカーの経理、などだ。「合わなかったら転職すればいい？」そうかもしれない。しかし、未経験の職種への転職は、20代だけに限られている。私も転職を何度もしているが、基本的にはSAP関連であり、職種はさほど変わってはいない。

つまり、転職しようが、基本的には職種を変えることはできない。22歳で大学を卒業して、38年間、その仕事を続ける覚悟があるだろうか？

「こんなはずじゃなかった」と言っている社会人はものすごく多いぞ。本当に、その仕事でよいのか？自己分析をしっかりやるべきだと思う。

一つだけ、職種を変える方法がある。それは、大企業によくある公募制度を使うのだ（社内FAともいう）。しかし、公募も、基本的には若い人が優先だ。オッサンになってから、未経験の職種でも大歓迎と言ってくれる部署は少ないだろう。

比較的、別の仕事に取り組みやすいのはベンチャー企業だ。なぜならば、ベンチャー企業は少数精鋭で、常に人手不足なので、一人で色々な仕事を掛け持ちすることも多い。そのため、掛け持ちして、別の仕事にチャレンジすることもできるだろう。どうしても今の仕事から別の仕事にチャレンジしたい場合は、ベンチャー企業への転職というのが現実的だろう。もちろん、面接などで、掛け持ちできるのか、しっかり確認する必要はある。

The Importance of Job Content in Job Hunting

In Japan, job hunting is a stressful and important process for college students. Many students are eager to get into a prestigious company, but it is important to remember that the name of the company is not the most important factor. Instead, it is more important to consider the job content.

There are many reasons why job content is so important. First, it is the job content that will determine what you will be doing for the majority of your adult life. If you are not happy with your job content, you are likely to be unhappy with your career.

Second, it is difficult to change job content once you are already in a job. It is possible to change jobs, but it is much more difficult to change job content. This is because most companies are looking for employees with experience in the specific job content that they need.

Third, job content can have a significant impact on your career development. If you are interested in a particular field, it is important to choose a job that will give you the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge in that field.

Of course, the name of the company is also important. A prestigious company can offer good benefits, such as high salaries, bonuses, and opportunities for overseas assignments. However, it is important to remember that these benefits are not worth it if you are not happy with your job content.

In conclusion, it is important to consider job content carefully when job hunting. The name of the company is important, but it is not the most important factor. By choosing a job with the right job content, you can increase your chances of being happy and successful in your career.

Additional Thoughts

In addition to the points mentioned above, there are a few other things that job seekers should keep in mind when considering job content.

First, it is important to be realistic about your skills and interests. If you are not interested in a particular field, it is unlikely that you will be successful in that field.

Second, it is important to do your research. Talk to people who work in different fields to learn more about what their jobs entail.

Third, be prepared to compromise. It may not be possible to find a job that perfectly matches all of your criteria. However, you should try to find a job that meets most of your needs.

By following these tips, you can increase your chances of finding a job that you will be happy with for many years to come.
