Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Today is the first-year exam for the second cohort of Vietnamese technical interns!
Results of Taking the Skills Certification Exam for Technical Interns and Others (Part 1)
I took the exam for the first cohort at the same location last year.
We have quite a bit of leeway this year, and since the second-year students are so capable, I feel reassured at this point.
Apparently, some people—such as those who already want to return to their home country or those who’ve grown to hate their jobs after being constantly yelled at by their bosses—take the exam rather half-heartedly and sometimes even fail on purpose.
It’s kind of tough when you’ve grown to hate your job and the only way to get back home is to take the exam half-heartedly, isn’t it?
It’s true—you see middle-aged guys yelling at Vietnamese workers on other job sites quite often.
On top of that, he's talking really fast and rambling on.
No matter how much you yell, it won't get through to someone who doesn't understand the language, right?
But it just gives the impression of some middle-aged Japanese guy yelling, doesn't it? Yelling is just for my own convenience.
If you were the one being yelled at, how would you feel?
Do you think there's anything to be learned from being yelled at relentlessly?
And, can you work while feeling good??
If this were a Japanese person, they’d probably quit their job right away or sue for workplace harassment.
However, they are Vietnamese technical interns who are in a very vulnerable position.
They have no choice but to either be fired and return home, or just put up with it. Even if they return home, they’ll still have the debt they incurred before becoming technical interns.
How would you feel if you were in that position?
In Japan, you could say it’s similar to the postwar apprenticeship system.
I find myself wondering, “What’s the difference between the acclaimed TV drama *Oshin* and today’s Vietnamese technical interns?”
Let's recognize that it's not just the yelling middle-aged guy who's desperate.
The Vietnamese are working really hard, and the Japanese are working really hard, too.
Please try to think about it from your own perspective.
For example, how would you like me to explain it?
How would you like to be taught—in a way that makes you happy, gets you excited, and helps you remember things easily?
1. Do you want to be left alone?
2. Do you want me to stick close to you all the time and teach you?
3. Do you only want to ask questions when you don't understand something?
4. Do you want to be told only when you're wrong?
5. Would you like to know everything you're going to do right now?
There are as many different requests as there are people.
If you're not sure how to teach, start by asking yourself: How did you find it easiest to learn?
Try to imagine how you would have liked to be taught.
There's definitely a clue there.
Just by putting that into practice, the younger generation will really thrive.
There are some exceptions who seem to be rotten to the core, but I guess that can’t be helped, lol.
Let's start by not yelling or acting bossy on the job.
The fact that you treat others the same way you were raised is proof of your immaturity.
It would be great if we could educate others while showing them respect, so that we can grow as individuals, wouldn't it?
If you create your own rivals, you might discover something new.
I especially recommend this to anyone who's been feeling like their work has gotten a bit stale lately!
See you later.
