Honestly, it wasn’t my original intention to work in the IT industry. However, when interviewing at the ID Group, I started to notice that the interviewers were truly seeing me as a unique individual. I was able to see myself working in the ID Group. Ultimately, I decided to join the ID Group because I wanted to work at a company with such outstanding colleagues.
I was somewhat worried because I was coming from a humanities background and pursuing work in the IT industry. However, the training was extreme. Despite starting with zero knowledge, I was able to acquire basic knowledge that would be useful for my job. I am grateful for how the training supported my acquisition of certification as a Fundamental Information Technology Engineer.
I am currently assigned to the Digital Solutions Sales Department , where I propose services to new customers. My section specializes in security. Rather than proposing just one product, I often propose solutions that match the needs and problems of our customers.
I like talking to people, so I truly enjoy having conservations with customers. My work feels very rewarding when customers open up with me and speak honestly. Although there are many things that I don’t know, there are members in my department who possess knowledge on specific industries or ID Group products. I always consult with these members before helping customers. When proposing services, I often work with members from other departments, group companies, and partner companies. Thanks to our wide range of business operations, the ability to provide extensive services that meet our customers’ needs is a strength of the ID Group.
About one year after I joined my department, I was placed in charge of a competition for a major manufacturing and retail client. This was the biggest project that I had ever handled. I was responsible for managing multiple internal systems, including those of the client’s group companies, as well as for organizing and analyzing the huge amount of log data collected by the system.
The project was a difficult task which required about three months of repeated meetings and proposals. I found it challenging to coordinate with not only internal parties but also external parties such as partner companies. I was my first time creating proposal materials from scratch, so I had to look up reference materials and templates while I was working. It was a good growth opportunity because I was able to overcome obstacles by easily asking my colleagues for advice. Going forward, I will continue to grow by taking on challenges in various projects.
