What are YOU doing in college (high school, junior high school, job hunting)? (i)

Hello, this is Kaburaki, GLI representative.

 

"What are you going to college (high school, middle school, our company) for?"

 

This isFirst question to ask in a career exploration workshopIt is.

 

The intention,In Japan, higher education is almost taken for granted, because many students take entrance exams without thinking about it.It is.

 

It is natural to go on to higher education.Why are you going on to higher education?" I get a look that says, "What do you mean by that? I get a look that says, "Why do you want to go to school?

 

Because you go to school because you have a purpose, right? A student searches for an answer only when he or she is told to do so.

 

Because I want to do it!" Not many students can immediately answer, "Because I want to do it!

 

This trend can be seen regardless of whether the student has excellent grades or not.

 

...because if you don't go to college, you can't get a job at a good company. 、、、、
Because my parents want me to at least have a college degree. 、、、、
...because my friends are going too. 、、、、
. because there's nothing else I want to do. 、、、、

 

All these negative opinions are lined up. Then, the facilitator asks a question.

 

."If I don't go to college, can I really get a job at a good company? On the other hand, if I go to college, can I get a job at a good company?"

 

The first is the "M" in the "M".

 

Many students are thus silenced.

 

In fact, even if you go to college,We need to deepen our thinking and think carefully about society, future realities, and the purpose of higher education.

 

First, let me answer the previous question first,Unfortunately, even if you have at least a college degree, you cannot find a good job nowadays.

 

Even if you do find a job, there is no guarantee that you will be able to hold on to it for the rest of your life.

 

College or so.About.is probably a way of saying, "Even if I had nothing else to my name, I could at least go to college.

 

Nowadays, it's more than just a college degree, but other than that.It's a time when it's much easier to get a job if you have something to your name.I do not know that this is the case.

 

Japanese children who graduate from high school with this level of knowledge are in real danger.

 

It's time for parents to understand that it takes more than just college to educate their children. ・・・・・

 

Society has changed! What has actually changed with

The days when all you had to do was get at least a college degree.was explained in the previous blog. (If you haven't seen it yet, click here:https://gli-english.com/2958/)

 

It was a very simple time, and the simplicity of it,Lifetime employment and seniorityThe company was supported by

 

The way of working and living in the time when we could have both the Inro of Mito and the cherry-blossomed snowflakes of Kin-san at the same time, and the way of working and living today, and the way of life in the time when we could have both.Understand that the future is quite different from thoseIt must be done.

 

A time when it was good to be a cog in the wheel of an organization

Japan as NO1 up to the time. In other words,

 

It was a time when it was good enough to make good products cheaply and in large quantities.
Japan itself was a brand.
The time when Japan was protected by many regulations.

 

It was a time when the role expected of people was that of a cog in the wheel, and they were expected to be diligent, loyal, and fulfill the role of their assigned position.

 

In that world, we provided the organizationLabor = Salary."It was.

 

The term "company animal" was coined, the question "can you fight 24 hours a day?" became popular, and a rare phenomenon occurred during job interviews when everyone talked about episodes in which they had been the head of a circle or the leader of a part-time job.

 

Because,I didn't have that much experience otherwise, and it was a time when it worked.It is.

 

It was a time when factors other than which university you attended were considered unnecessary except for companies that required special skills.

 

Modern work is like a professional baseball player!

However, we explained in our previous blog that this will not be the case in the future. (If you haven't seen it yet, click here:https://gli-english.com/2958/)

 

Organizations are still working in teams as in the past, but each individual's abilities are being tested more and more.

 

The role assigned to you in the role assignment.You must use your own ingenuity and ingenuity to achieve maximum results.

 

In other words, each player has a different role, just as a professional baseball player has a role from batter No. 1 to batter No. 9,In the era of the "Role of the batting order" and "Role of the position", one must produce appropriate results in order to be included in the team.It is.

 

The way we will work in the future is that the first hitter with fast feet and a high on-base percentage, the fourth hitter who returns runners reliably, the shortstop with good defense, the catcher with strong shoulders and cleverness, etc., will be required to maximize their characteristics, and their compensation and working position will be determined according to the value they produce in the game.

 

Therefore, the "effort" provided does not = the reward,

 

In the age of value created = reward.

 

I would like to keep in mind that this is the first step in the process. And now back to my original main point.

 

What are the questions that schools and society ask in "current" interviews?

 

In other words,What are you doing here? What is being asked inThat is to say.

 

I will continue this story in my next blog. Enjoy.
