Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I took the Level 3 carpentry exam for technical interns in their third year.
There were all sorts of ups and downs, lol.
The jump test itself isn't a big deal, but that examiner over there!
He was incredibly arrogant and condescending—he was the worst, lol.
Even when giving simple instructions, he comes across as incredibly condescending, like, “Hey, you guys!”
It’s been a while since something really annoyed me, but my boss finally snapped and asked, “Why are you talking down to us like that?” To which he replied, “I’m saying this because you guys are dragging your feet!” lol
In the end, there was all this back-and-forth—and since I’d been watching the preparations from the start, I thought, “If something’s wrong, why didn’t you just say so from the beginning?!” But he kept saying things like, “I’m rooting for those Vietnamese guys! I just want to help them get through, even a little bit!” and we just couldn’t see eye to eye the whole time.
To top it all off, he defiantly said, “I’ve always said it this way!” so I just replied, “I didn’t know that! lol,” and the exam started on a lighthearted note lololol
Well, we're the ones taking the test.
However, they're strangers, and of course, I'm paying them.
Above all, if there are Japanese people acting so arrogantly even before the exam begins, it could make young Vietnamese people feel intimidated and prevent them from performing well. It’s unthinkable these days that a Japanese person who engages in power harassment would be serving as an examiner, isn’t it?
In Japan today, where terms like “power harassment” and “sexual harassment” are commonly used, is it really acceptable to engage in power harassment during exams for Vietnamese students?
Does the Nagano Prefecture Vocational Skills Development Association think that workplace harassment is perfectly acceptable??
I really don't get it.
Since my boss lost his temper, I calmly told the inspector, “The way you’re phrasing that doesn’t sound very nice. Shouldn’t you be a little more tactful, gentle, and clear?” But he wasn’t even close to accepting that, lol.
This is what people commonly refer to as the "scourge of the elderly," isn't it?
However, the fact that this expression has been used for a long time suggests that there were problems with it even back then.
Anyway, that’s all beside the point, but I hear the actual exam results will be out within two weeks—I wonder how it’ll turn out… lol
There aren't many examples showing all angles online, so please use this as a reference.
You have the drawings with the dimensions, right?
I'll just post this for now.

Please compare this with the drawing.

Assemble it like this.
After that, please use the adjustable and straight clamps properly to assemble the parts according to the dimensions.
Please be careful, as the black-framed scaffolding sections shown in the drawing must be assembled in advance.
This is just a simple question, but these days, people hardly ever use ratchets when setting up scaffolding, do they? lol
Even so, am I just a modern person for thinking, “What’s a ‘rajetto’?” I’ve heard that even a standard Level 1 construction worker license is called a “rajetto,” apparently...
What's more, since wedge scaffolding has become the norm lately, all you need is a single hammer, so I've even stopped carrying a ratchet.
Times are constantly changing, so exams should probably change along with them, but if the higher-ups are so set in their ways...
Good luck on your exams, everyone!
Japan’s construction industry simply cannot function without technical interns!
Let's do our best!
See you later.
I agree.
It makes you wonder, “Are temporary inspectors really that important?”
Exams and Training Courses, etc.
I can't help but think they raised the money entirely for the alumni.
Just the other day, I took some Thai employees from Hiroshima to Nagoya to have them attend an employment contract training session.
I can't really say for sure, since there are companies in Japan that make people work in terrible conditions, but do we really need this?
That's what I found myself thinking.
That's right, isn't it?
I was really upset yesterday.
While it’s true that Vietnamese workers may find it easier to communicate with their employers if they understand Japanese law, on the other hand, management in Japan faces challenges because workers are overly protected.
While there are pros and cons, workers and management want to maintain a healthy and fair relationship with one another.
