A Place to Grow as Myself
Logistics
2025 New Graduate Hire
She is originally from Osaka Prefecture and joined the company in 2025 after graduating from Kansai Gaidai University. Currently part of the Logistics Team, she is committed to her daily responsibilities while learning and growing with support from senior colleagues. In her free time, she enjoys riding her motorcycle in nature, dancing, and playing darts.
Responsibilities
Trade operations that support accurate and swift transport
I am currently responsible for trade operations—preparing documentation, handling customs clearance, and arranging shipments by sea and air—serving as a link between Japanese manufacturers and overseas customers. I focus on both accuracy and speed, and I strive to deliver transport that meets our customers’ expectations. In addition, I hold a hazardous‑goods handling qualification, which enables me to be involved in the packing and shipping of cargo that requires special knowledge.
The moment I felt like a working adult
It’s not about a perfect score, but about 100 % understanding
What I realized most strongly after becoming a working adult is that “this isn’t school.” In student life, someone who scored 100 points was praised, and you could get by even if you didn’t fully understand everything. But in the workplace it isn’t about a perfect test score; it’s about identifying what you don’t understand, asking questions proactively, and approaching your work with 100% understanding. Because any lack of understanding can affect the entire company, I feel the weight of responsibility.
My first success experience
The moment I felt “I can do it”
At first, I often had my documents sent back for corrections and experienced frustration. But as I built up my learning, the first time my supervisor approved my work in one go, I was so happy. When that happened consistently, it became a source of confidence. Going forward, I want to reduce mistakes and contribute to smoother operations as I continue to grow.
When I feel I’ve grown the most
My possibilities expand when I’m entrusted with tasks
I feel growth most when I find that I can do more on my own. At the start, I moved forward with help from my supervisor and senior colleagues, but through experience I’ve reached the point of being able to complete tasks alone. This company offers many opportunities for new graduates to take on a variety of roles, and thanks to that I’m able to feel daily progress and approach my work with pride.
What I’m Proud Of
A place where you’re free from constraints and can challenge yourself being yourself
What I love about this company is our free, challenge‑friendly environment. Dress code, hair color, and nail polish are basically unrestricted, so as long as you have motivation and a sense of responsibility, you aren’t limited by your appearance. Of course, when meeting people outside the company you present yourself properly, but in everyday work you can be yourself. Also, there are many chances to challenge yourself and actively get involved in what you want to do. If you prefer a fixed routine, this might not be the place for you—but if you enjoy change and challenge, this is a great workplace.
A Typical Day
9:30
Arrive at Office
Because we have a flexible schedule system and I’m not much of a morning person, I come in a bit later. I check my schedule and emails, then organize what I need to do.
10:30
Regular Meeting
Every morning I have a roughly 30‑minute meeting with my manager. We review deadlines and what must be done today in order to proceed with our shipments on schedule.
11:00
Email replies & Phone calls
I respond to inquiries about orders or shipment progress, adjust delivery dates, and solve issues. I make phone calls when reminders are required.
11:30
Document preparation & Submission
In the morning when I’m most focused, I handle larger tasks. I create shipment documents such as invoices and packing lists—paying attention to amounts and quantities to avoid mistakes.
13:30
Lunch
I take lunch later to avoid crowds, and I enjoy exploring different restaurants around the company.
14:30
Packing & Shipping of Hazardous cargo
With the qualification for handling hazardous items, I handle the packing, labelling and shipping of such cargo. Since these goods are dangerous, I must be extra careful—but I enjoy this work.
16:00
Payment Processing
If we receive an invoice from a shipping company for freight charges, I process payment on behalf of the importer. Or if we receive a cargo invoice from a manufacturer, I handle payment for that.
18:30
NPO Activities
As a member of an NPO, I support scholarship students studying abroad. If I receive emails I respond accordingly.
19:00
Leaving Office
After leaving the office, I often go out with friends for a drink, or dance to refresh—moving my body to recharge.
