Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I was in Vietnam just the other day, and I got back to Chubu Centrair International Airport first thing this morning.
I had a great time in Vietnam!
We went to diners that only locals would eat at and tried snacks from street stalls.
I was the kind of person who would eat fruit with flies on it—I was pretty much up for anything (lol).
But that's beside the point.
Actually, everything will be decided based on this exam and interview,Deliver results within one dayApparently, it's necessary.
Although this is quite rare in Japan, they decide on the exam, interview, and hiring within a few hours.
What's more, I hear they're taking the exam using scaffolding they only started assembling three days ago—the very same scaffolding they put up just the other day.
Basically, a Vietnamese recruitment agency recruits people who want to go to Japan.
They refer children to us who have studied at least a basic level of Japanese and are motivated.
Naturally, they assess memory, math skills, and physical abilities. (There’s a test.)
In that sense, they really are an elite group.
So, when you get hired like this time, you end up in a photo with a huge smile on your face, just like this.
It makes me so happy to see them so delighted!
However, on the flip side, since 8 out of 12 will be eliminated, it’s heartbreaking.
I can't help but think, "If you all want to come that badly, then come on over!"
You can really tell how hard they tried. The disappointment on the faces of the kids who didn't make it is off the charts!
It feels like some unscrupulous Japanese people are exploiting them as a cheap labor force just because they can.
Most Japanese people are good, but there are some bad ones.
If things continue this way, there’s a possibility that fewer children will come to Japan in the future.
I hope it doesn't come to that.
And once they were hired, they earned roughlyPay between 500,000 and 700,000 to enroll in a language schoolThat means...
The average monthly income in Vietnam ranges from around 30,000 to 50,000 yen in urban areas.
It seems to be around 10,000 to 20,000 yen in rural areas.
Since most of them come from rural areas, they borrow money from relatives or banks to pay for school.
Even if it means taking that much of a risk,I'm filled with the desire to go to Japan and make moneyWhat?!
Their enthusiasm really is something else, isn't it?
That desire to be even a little bit wealthier!
When they come to Japan, the minimum wage in the construction industry is usually theirI'm looking for a take-home pay of 120,000 yen or more(Aichi Prefecture).
When you factor in overtime pay and other bonuses, it seems to come to around 150,000 yen.
I hear there are plenty of companies that pay even less than that, but I have no idea if they're good or bad companies lol
Personally, I’d like to see my salary increase as I become more capable at my job.
The four people who were selected this time will now enroll in a language school and spend the next six months studying Japanese and other subjects,
I'll be moving into the union's training facility in Nagoya next February.
So, he will undergo a one-month training program in Japan and then join our company in March.
The bar is set pretty high for them. After all, Japanese is considered one of the most difficult languages in the world.
It takes quite a while from the hiring process to actually starting the job.
In addition, after hiring, you will be required to pay the union approximately 30,000 to 40,000 yen per person.
If you average out the costs over the three years from recruitment to starting work, the total cost (including travel expenses, etc.) comes to roughly 250,000 yen.
That comes out to about 3 million per year.
It's not that cheap. That said, even if Japanese people hope that applicants will come through Hello Work, they almost never do, so,
If you're looking for certainty, there are definitely benefits to this.
See you later.
