learn from one's own mistakes
Q: First of all, please tell us about any memorable episodes since you joined the company, such as "this was a mistake.
Yes, my first big mistake was when I was working at "Roadside Station Uzushio" and accidentally put my weight on the washbasin and broke it. I also forgot to hand over an item to a customer who paid at the cash register, and later received a phone call complaining about it.
And, to top it all off, I carelessly pushed a cardboard box containing a large stuffed animal against my manager. I was so scared that I imagined that I might be fired...lol.
I see... When you make a mistake, you feel depressed, don't you?
Yes, it is depressing.
But my bosses and seniors at work don't just get angry with me, they teach me how to do my job hand in hand. So I try not to repeat the same mistakes.
That's wonderful. So, in your work, is there any part of your life that you feel has changed the most compared to when you were a student?
I feel that I am becoming a little more "positive".
When I was a student, I was more withdrawn and darker than I am now.
I always had a negative attitude, and if I made a mistake or had a bad day, I would retreat into my shell.
But now there is a lot of work that must be done next, even if you fail. I have to switch over and move forward without letting the failure drag me down, or else the job will not get done. As I repeat such daily work, I have naturally become more "positive.
Workplace taught me to enjoy my job.
ーIf you have a positive attitude toward your work, don't you find it rewarding and enjoyable?
Yes, recently.Official TiktokI enjoy participating in the filming of videos such as
Also, although it may seem trivial, I feel good and have a sense of accomplishment when I am able to cut the promotional POP to be displayed in the store into the required shape.
It's amazing that you have come to find participation in video content production "fun"!
I became able to communicate with customers through serving them, and became a little more accustomed to being in front of people, which turned into "fun". This is something I could not have imagined when I was a student.
Q: Finally, what would you like to focus on in your work from now on?
First of all, you have to calm down when you fail.
I want to be able to work calmly and keep a bird's eye view of myself because there is no use in panicking.
Also, I would like to keep good communication with employees. The employees are all good people, and I feel that I want to work here forever.
I will continue to do my best at my own pace but in a positive manner!
Thank you very much!
No matter what mistakes you make at work, if you keep a positive attitude, you may be able to find "your own way to enjoy" little by little, just like Mr. Noh.
