Q.
将来何を実現させたいと考えているかをお聞かせください。
-
A.
「自分の強みを活かして信頼を得ることで、多くの人から必要とされる人間になりたい」。これが貴社での仕事を通じて実現したいことであり、私のモチベーションの源泉である。 その原体験は、中学生時代の野球部での辛い経験にある。小学生時代、私は地元の野球チームで皆から頼られる存在であった。しかし、中学校では、強豪チームから来た同級生に全く敵わなかった。中学2年生の時、ある練習試合で結果が出せなかった私は、監督から「おまえはうちには必要ない」と強く叱責された。人一倍練習したものの成果が出ず、非常に悔しかった。 この経験を経て、私は「人から必要とされたい」と強く思うようになった。この目標を達成するには、強みを活かして信頼を得ることが重要であると実感し、特に大学時代に様々なことに取り組んだ。 将来は、貴社の持つグローバルな環境の下で、より多くの人から信頼を獲得し必要とされる人材になりたい。特に、自身の強みを活かせるファイナンス部門で、その夢を１番実現できると考える。財務の観点から経営を支援することでその夢を実現させたい。 続きを読む

あなたが学生時代に最も力を入れて取り組んだことは何ですか？それによって何を達成しましたか？

A.
インドの製薬系コンサル会社で3か月間のインターンシップを行ったことである。 【背景】 香港交換留学中に、香港のAIESECの協力を得て応募した。強みを活かして人から必要とされる人間になる、という目標があったからである。将来ファイナンス部門で働くことでその目標を最も達成できると考えていたため、香港で会計やファイナンスを学び、インドで実務経験を積みたいと考えた。 【取り組み】 当初、私は製薬業界に関する知識不足や英語での意思疎通の齟齬からインド人上司の信頼を得られず、主要な業務をすぐに任されなかった。そこで、３つの取り組みを行った。 ①就業時間外での学習。 毎日3時間かけて前提知識を学び、薬価制度改定のリサーチ業務を遂行した。 ②上司との意思疎通の改善。 具体的には、メモを見せながら、上司に仕事の進捗報告や質問をこまめに行った。先に相談することで自分勝手な解釈で仕事を進めず、上司の期待とのずれを減らすためである。 ③自分なりの貢献。 頼まれた仕事を必ずやり切った上で、さらに上司の役に立とうとした。例えば、私は慎重に数字や情報を扱う作業が得意であったため、上司の代わりに率先して、Excelでの地道な定量データ収集・整理の作業を行った。 【成果】 このように自ら問題を発見し解決する努力を続けた結果、１か月後には財務分析などのより重要性の高い仕事を任せられた。最終的には、会社の公式レポートの共著者にも選ばれた。自分ができる貢献を続け、信頼を獲得することを学んだ。 続きを読む

Q.
Please describe what you want to accomplish in the future.

A.
“I want to be needed by others by becoming a specialist, making full use of my strengths and getting trusted by them.” This is what I’d like to accomplish in the future by working in your company, and what drives me the most. The reason why I really want to be needed by others is because of my experience in a baseball team in my junior high school days. When I was a primary school student, I was often trusted by my teammates and coaches in my baseball team. However, after joining a baseball club in my junior high school, where many students came from a strong baseball team, I realized that they were much better baseball players than me. When I was a second year at the junior high school, I participated in a baseball game as a player but I could not achieve a good result at all. As a result, after the game, my teacher, who was the director of the team, said to me, “We don’t need you in our team.” I was extremely frustrated because I knew that I practiced baseball very hard every day. This experience made me strongly feel that I’d like to be needed by others. Also, I realized that in order to achieve this goal, it is important to get trusted by others by taking advantage of my unique strengths. Since then, I’ve tried to utilize and improve my strengths by experiencing a lot of things, especially in my university years, in order to achieve my goal. Therefore, in the future, I’d like to become a specialist and be needed by more people in your company, which has global environment. In order to achieve this goal, I’d like to work specifically for the finance department, where I believe I can leverage my strengths the most, and get trusted by the team and contribute to your company. 続きを読む

Q.
What did you put your strongest effort into during your school days? And what did you achieve as a result?
-
A.
I put my strongest effort into the internship in a pharmaceutical consulting company in India for 3 months. 【Background】 I applied for this internship when I studied in Hong Kong as an exchange student, and AIESEC Hong Kong helped me to do this. I decided to join this internship because I thought that this experience would help me to achieve my personal goal, which is to become a specialist who is needed by others. Since I believed that I could achieve this goal by working specifically for a finance division in a company in the future, I studied accounting and finance in Hong Kong, and then I tried to get the relevant experience by doing this internship. 【What I did】 At first, it seemed that my Indian boss didn’t fully trust me. This was probably because I didn’t have enough knowledge about pharmaceutical industry at first and it was sometimes difficult for me to communicate effectively with her in English. Therefore, to improve this situation, I did the following three things: Firstly, I studied the pharmaceutical industry by myself before and after my work. I spent three hours every day to obtain the necessary knowledge by reading industry reports and etc. This helped me to conduct in-depth research about the recent policies and regulations in the Japanese pharmaceutical industry. Secondly, I improved the communication with my boss. To be precise, I reported my work progress and asked questions more frequently. Also, when I did it, I shared my idea with her through both verbal and written communication. These improvements helped me to avoid misunderstanding of what my boss says to me, and to precisely understand her expectations. Finally, I tried to make my own contribution to my boss. I completed every tasks and in addition, I tried to assist in her more. For instance, I helped to collect and organize quantitative data with Excel because I am good at dealing with numbers and information carefully. 【Achievement】 By continuing such an effort to find and solve the problems, a month later, my boss trusted me and gave me more important tasks such as financial analysis of major generic companies in Japan. As a result, she finally put my name on the official annual Japan report as a coauthor. Through this experience, I learned that in order to get trusted by others, it is important to think about how I can contribute to them, and actually to put it into action. 続きを読む
