nishio: Recently, I saw an article on the internet somewhere, Nikkei or something, where someone was giving advice to students who are job hunting, and the parable of the bow and arrow was mentioned in the middle of the article. Iâm not sure which one it was⌠I was talking about something else and the parable of the bow and arrow seemed very important to me, so Iâd like to read it again and summarize it.

The power to draw the bow lies in the motivation within you and the reason why you want to work in the first place. Then, I think you should find the target of each company you are attracted to and set your sights on it. And if you consider what you have experienced so far as âyour own field,â I think it is very important to put it in your own words.

I was actually saying the same thing when I was looking for a job. If anything, I played the sport of football in my early teens because I felt very lonely and had a single-minded desire to connect with someone. I was playing football in my early teenage years because I wanted to connect with others, and I talked everywhere about the fundamental joy of feeling connected and united. For television, I would say, âWe can create a sense of togetherness through images,â and for advertising, I would say, âWe can create a sense of togetherness through a variety of media. Although the branches and leaves were slightly different, none of them were lies, but true feelings.

I think everyone has their own original experience, their own strong magma. As long as we can show with words that âthe fire of my heart is here,â I donât think we should try to talk too much about the company.

Q: Are you saying that itâs more important to know who you are than to research companies and take measures now?
-
A: From a corporate point of view, I think it is very interesting to know what this personâs energy source is.

If a person working for a company works 250 days a year, 8 hours a day, thatâs 2000 hours a year. Even if a job hunter spends a few hours researching a company, it is only 1/1000th of what a person who has worked for that company for several years would spend, and if you use that as a scaffold for self-promotion, it wonât work!
- Moreover, people who do âCorporate Researchâ in this way tend to use âinformation that other applicants can access in the same way,â which is available through internet searches, etc., so they are not differentiated from other applicants.
-
What this article is saying is to use your passion as the basis for your self-promotion.
- This has nothing to do with individual companies.
- If you compare it to a tree, your passion and your own past experiences are the roots and trunk.
- And that means adjusting the branches and leaves to suit the other company.
I summarized the content of the recent show (Progress of Unexplored Junior and About the Unexplored Ecosystem).
âThis is what I want to make! and appeal with high enthusiasm. I was reminded of the parable of the bow and arrow when I wrote
