Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I’ve been explaining the on-site sprayed concrete formwork method for the past few days.

I'm glad to hear it seems to have been well-received by the general public as well.

If people could just realize that this kind of work—which sounds so specialized but is actually no big deal—

I think it makes it easier to get started with work.

Saying, “You’re doing such amazing work!” is really just someone else’s opinion, isn’t it?

I think it’s better for us contractors to say, “It’s such an easy job that even a fool could do it.”

 

By showing the whole process like this, just as in my last blog post, readers might think, “I could do this too!”

Making people think that way is what increases the likelihood that they’ll join our company in the future.

 

First of all, can you briefly explain what you do for a living?

Can you explain it to someone in simple terms?

That's what I'm doing, right?

It's surprisingly hard, isn't it? lol

 

That means it’s even harder for others to understand.

Do you really think anyone would take a job like that when they don't even understand what it entails?

What if it were me?

The jobs you look up on Hello Work, in job-hunting magazines, and on job-search websites are the ones you’ve actually worked at, right?

The point is that what we don't know is nothing but anxiety and fear.

That means people need to know about it.

 

How can I get people to know about it?

These days, it’s expected that companies have their own websites, and I think many of them are also active on social media.

However, in reality, sharing on social media isn't actually that effective!

Because I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

And they're just showing the flashy parts of that industry, aren't they? lol

If it were the slope construction industry, I'd be checking the spray application, lol

It's not bad, but that's not the only thing.

 

If I were a job seeker, there are plenty of parts like that, but I have absolutely no idea about the rest!

Wouldn't you like to know more details?

How do you use cable ties? Like in those videos where someone uses a hacker to twist them around?

First of all, what is a cable tie?

From a job seeker's perspective, the flashy parts might seem difficult.

Even if it’s actually easy, it looks flashy, so it seems more difficult.

But in reality, spray application takes only one-third as long as frame construction, doesn't it?

Most of the work involves setting up the legal framework.

 

Videos on social media tend to be flashy, so please try watching a more low-key one instead.

Flashy videos make job seekers hesitate! (Because they look too difficult.)

I think job seekers will judge whether unremarkable videos or images can attract attention!

 

Everyone's tired.

For that Instagram-worthy shot!

It doesn't matter at all. It's just for the sake of it!

I'm so over all that "Instagrammable" stuff and sparkly stuff, lol.

 

We slope engineers and civil engineers don't need it.

It's better to make mundane tasks look cool!

This photo is just a quick snap, but it looks kind of cool, doesn't it? lol

Well, it depends on how it's filmed, but it makes you think, "If it's just a matter of dropping a net, I could probably do that myself!"

 

Just hearing that amateurs have to lower themselves down a rope to do their work—doesn't that sound difficult?

But in reality, you don’t actually do any rope work at all—you just use a lollipop to attach it to the rope, right?

We don't do any work at all that involves rope techniques (using ropes like those used in rescue operations) at the slope construction site, and,

Nobody knows that, do they? lol

I think sharing that kind of information would really help liven up this industry, though~

OurHow Easy the Work IsI'd like to post them on social media one after another.

 

See you later.
