Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's already December!!
It feels like New Year's just ended!!!
That's probably what all the middle-aged guys out there are thinking, lol.
By the way, are you enjoying the job you're doing right now?
I'm having so much fun right now!
Because it's a development job.
For one reason or another, I’ve always wanted to get into development, and this year is the first time I’ve actually started to get the hang of it.
It means "that's what I was able to devote myself to."
I really am grateful to our employees.
I'm just going to do my best to get good results so I can make some solid money from this project, lol.
How about you all?
Is the only reason you're still there because the company you first joined is your current employer?
These days, it's easy to change jobs.
If you're a recent graduate with at least three years of construction experience and hold a Grade 1 or 2 civil engineering license, you can get a job at a major general contractor!
There's no doubt about it.
If you're unhappy with your current situation and want to work for a major company with better pay, try sending an email to their HR department.
If you have a solid character, you're sure to get in.
That's true even at the supermarket.
On the other hand, you'll be blown away by the insane amount of paperwork at the company, right? lol
It's "Compliance, Compliance, Tempura," lol
I'll be putting together a ton of paperwork to protect the company lol
That's just the nature of being a publicly traded company.
I know an employee at a major company who’s disliked by the general contractor more for his internal paperwork than for his work on-site.
There are so many internal documents that temporary staff handle them on the front lines, and
The subcontractor's representative handles internal paperwork at the site office, and of course, the general contractor's representative is right there beside them.
From the general contractor's perspective, I've never even heard of such a document!
Give me the revised documents already!!!
Apparently, he's yelling, "Get things moving on the job site!!"
These days, civil engineering managers like us can work at any company.
Back in the day, the major general contractors were full of graduates from the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, and the so-called “MARCH” universities.
Now it's all about technical colleges, industrial high schools, and industrial vocational schools, lol.
If you have a certification and experience, you'll have plenty of job offers when you switch jobs, right?
However, as I mentioned above, there are internal documents I never expected to see, as well as frequent transfers.
It's super common to get transferred right after buying a house, lol.
There's always a sense of tension surrounding job transfers and the like.
On the other hand, if we’re working with local general contractors or local vendors, it’s a little less stressful.
However, your salary will go down.
At major companies, salaries are quite high.
On the other hand, the price drops significantly in the local area (compared to major chains).
But life is easy here—I know the streets, the stores, the suppliers, and the contractors.
I can work with peace of mind.
What kind of approach do you take to your work?
If you want to get some work done in a calm environment, you should definitely go with a local contractor.
If you want to work on larger-scale projects—those worth over 1 billion or overseas projects—and are looking for more challenges, then a major general contractor is the place for you.
We now live in an age of choice.
Choose carefully and enjoy your work!
You don't have anything to do besides work, right?? lol (I don't, lol)
If you have as much fun as possible at work, it’ll just get more and more fun!
Let's enjoy our work for the rest of our lives!
If it's a lousy company, just quit and move on to the next one! (As long as there's nothing wrong with you, lol)
Oh, you're welcome to come over to my place, you know?
How about developing a new construction method? (I'm having trouble keeping up on my own.)
Using 3D CAD and stuff ^^
There are actually ways to work that offer that much flexibility.
Let's go pick one out!
See you later.
