Recruitment Information

Having studied abroad as a student, I wanted to use the language skills and experience I gained there to work for a company that did business overseas. I learned about Dai Nippon Shoji through my job search, and at a company information session, I learned that the company was planning to strengthen its procurement from and sales to overseas markets. I thought I might be able to make use of my skills, so I applied.

I wanted to visit new customers and build new business. Throughout my job search, I had two other reasons for deciding to join the company.
First, I was attracted by the DNP Group's worldwide network and the environment in which it is possible to develop business from a global perspective.
The second reason was that there were many questions about self-promotion during the interview. I felt that the company culture, which respects my strengths and personality and values diversity, was a good fit for me, and this was the deciding factor for me to join the company.

A lack of communication led to insufficient information sharing, which meant that our services were not delivered in time for the customer's delivery deadline. Supporting customers is an important element of a trading company's sales activities. However, we were unable to respond appropriately or provide prompt support to the customer's problems and requests. As a trading company salesperson, where building trusting relationships with customers is important, we experienced a failure that led to a loss of trust.
Since this experience, I have come to value communication with my clients more, and am trying to increase daily dialogue not only through business negotiations but also through online conferences and other means.

As a salesperson at a trading company, I study a variety of products to deepen my knowledge of the main products we handle and also increase my knowledge of new products.
The needs of our clients are not limited to product-related concerns, but also cover a wide range of issues such as labor shortages and reducing manufacturing costs. I would like to become a person who can be seen as a partner that clients can consult with about anything.

I was interested in materials, and wanted to be able to meet the needs of others and make proposals that added value that only I could offer, so I wanted to work for a specialized trading company.
During this time, I came across Dainippon Shoji and was attracted by the fact that there were many things that could be done as a trading company in the DNP Group, such as "products with added value that are unique to DNP, and in a wide range of fields," so I decided to join the company.

We were unable to act effectively as the liaison between the sales destination and the supplier for a customer request, which caused confusion on all sides in terms of delivery dates.
I realized that there was no point in me being there if I was just passing the information on to the wrong people, and that there were more people than I had imagined who would be affected by my own lack of consideration or words or actions.
This incident prompted us to create a table to manage delivery dates and progress, and we are now working to not only prevent the same mistakes, but also to clearly distinguish between multiple similar projects and respond appropriately.

My current goal is to become a salesperson who can address customer needs.
To achieve this, we believe it is necessary to have a multifaceted perspective, act with an eye to the future, and deepen our product knowledge.
Furthermore, we will continue to work with our customers and suppliers to expand our business, while maintaining our original intentions and gratitude to those around us.

When I was looking for a job, I wanted to work with a variety of products and people, and I thought that Dainippon Shoji, the trading division of the DNP Group, would give me the opportunity to work with a variety of industries and products, allowing me to acquire a wide range of knowledge.
I also found it attractive that this is a workplace where I can build relationships with a wide range of business partners by utilizing the diverse global network of the DNP Group.

During a transaction with an overseas supplier, there was a misunderstanding that resulted in a shortage of product. The supplier quickly responded by producing more, and at the same time, the customer adjusted the delivery date, and the situation was resolved without incident, but it caused a great deal of inconvenience to both parties. We had not taken into consideration that common sense in Japan differs from that of the other party, and the misunderstanding arose from a misconception. Since then, I have made it a point to choose words that are easy for the other party to understand, and to confirm that we are on the same page at key points in our interactions as we work.

I would like to actively attend corporate seminars and exhibitions to deepen my knowledge of the industry and products I am involved in, understand trends in overseas business and changes in the market, and become a person who can propose new business opportunities both inside and outside the company.
I also plan to take advantage of the company's training system to improve my language skills so that I can communicate smoothly with our overseas suppliers.

Originally, I was interested in the printed materials and packaging that are all around me, and wanted to work for a printing company that plans, manufactures, and sells products, but as I continued my job search, I began to feel that working for a trading company would also be rewarding.I eventually came across Dai Nippon Shoji, where I could be involved in both printed materials and trading, and decided to join the company.
