Interview Article: What is the most Inspired Career Fly in Japan for international IT engineer at Sharewis-vol.2

Today we, Career Fly team, went to the EduTech company “Sharewis“ to understand the experience of an international engineer “How is Career Fly in Japan”. Read on as the international engineer share the experience of working & living in Japan.

Here is Vol.1

CF: You mentioned you are learning Japanese, so which part of learning the language is difficult?

P : For me, it's the grammar part difficult. I have learned Chinese, so Kanji is not a problem for me.

CF: You mentioned that you have studied Chinese as well, then why you choose a Japanese firm over a Chinese?

P: Because Japanese companies are more technologically advanced. And Share-wis approached me first. Lol.

CF: Some of our job-seeking candidates want to work with a Japanese company but remotely. They are little hesitant to come here. So you being in Japan for so long, can you inspire them to actually come to Japan and work here.

P : I understand, most people are afraid to come here because of the language barrier. I wish to tell them that I am doing pretty fine without learning the language, so they can also manage. “Don’t be scared, come here and experience the best”. Shopping here is fun because of multiple convenience stores. And people can communicate in English in those stores. However, I am a bit scared to go to restaurants alone.

CF: How has been your journey in Japan so far. And what about Japanese food, do you like it?

P: Initially my company helped me a lot for my governmental work, bank accounts & accommodation. I like it here. Japan has more numbers of parks & sightseeing places as compared to Vietnam. I go out mostly on all weekends.
I love the food here as there are many Vietnamese restaurants in Osaka.

CF: Do you wish to stay in Japan for long or to explore more countries?

P: I don't want to explore more countries and wish to stay here longer.

CF : What are your future plans within the company and outside the company?

P: Within share-wis: I wish to make the code better and beautiful which improves the overall company system.
Outside the company: I wish to become a good Senior developer for which I need to study a lot & have strong fundamentals. Keep learning & improving is my motto.

CF: Can you become a senior developer in Share-wis?

P : Yes, why not, I can fulfill my dream with this company to be a senior developer.

CF: Do you mean, you wish to become a Team leader someday. What kind of leader do you aim to become?

P: I wish to be a leader who encourages all his colleagues to achieve their full potential.

CF: Do you stay till late in the office?

P : I usually leave office by 7. I don’t have to stay for long in the office. Share-Wis is a good company to work for. It is somewhat flexible. The company doesn’t require you have to be present in the office all the time, as long as you can get the jobs done

CF : Any message for future co-workers who are joining your team.

P: Company is really friendly & helpful. We will help you settle down well in Osaka.
And please study Japanese while waiting for your visa. We are a small team with a lot of challenges and scope for improvement. You will be empowered here a lot.

CF: Thank You Phát San for your time today & telling us about your professional journey in Osaka, Japan.
