---What is it like working here? What kind of company is Nico Precision Instruments Co., Ltd.?

I think it's a very comfortable working environment. It's great that long vacations are possible, and they're flexible in accommodating urgent time off. Also, the company atmosphere reflects a positive attitude, a desire to do their best, and a genuine love for Minamiuonuma City.

 

---Could you tell me about your current job responsibilities in your department?

I work in the sales department, handling customer inquiries from South Korea. My main duties include responding to inquiries and providing quotes via email and phone in Korean, as well as conducting sales promotion activities to secure orders.

 

―――When do you feel that your work is difficult or rewarding?

In my previous job, I worked in B2C real estate sales, but I've jumped into a completely different field in terms of products and customer characteristics. I had absolutely no knowledge of machinery, so there was a lot to learn about the products, and it was difficult at first because I didn't even know what I didn't know. Also, since most of our customers are major engine manufacturers, I was surprised by the way B2B negotiations are conducted and the scale of a single order, which felt like a completely unfamiliar world. However, by utilizing the experience I gained in my previous job and approaching everything with a positive attitude, I find it rewarding when I understand things I didn't know before, when customers agree to difficult negotiations, and when I receive words of gratitude from them.
