【SF diary Vol.26】Interview with foreign employees! Part.3
Hi there, it’s Takahashi.
Our website has been redesigned, hoping to make it easy for everyone to read and to understand.
Today at last, I continue part 3 of our ‘Foreign Employee Interview’. This time, I introduce to you Stromberg Bjorn (25 years old) from Sweden. He works at Tokyo branch office.
By the way、”Bjorn” means ”Bear” in Swedish (^^) That reminds me・・・！ When my daughter was a baby, I used the baby carrier from the brand called “Baby Bjorn”, the character of the brand is “Bear”. Now I remember!
Ｑ.1 What kind of job are you currently working on?
I develop Unity and Windows applications.
Ｑ.2 How did you find a job in Japan?
I got a bachelor's degree and graduated from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden last year, decided to leave a bit away from my study, so I came to Japan and started job hunting. And I was introduced System Friend from the person in charge of job offer guidance service for foreigners. I showed a sensor demonstration to my current boss and I was able to get my job.
Ｑ.3 What surprised you the most when you started working at System Friend?
I was a little surprised because this company doesn’t treat foreigners differently. As soon as I started working, I received instructions such as direct correspondence with customers.
I think the Tokyo branch office is small and cozy, it is a good thing to be able to get along with everyone. I can drink free coffee and tea as much as I want, and it is also very nice.
This is Bjorn at work.（？） He looks enjoying himself so much! :D
If the work environment of System Friend is making it easier for foreign employees to work, it is a pleasant thing to know.
Actually, System Friend is chosen of "Fifty Japanese Companies Providing Successful Careers for Highly-skilled Foreign Professionals", we introduced our efforts as a good example of foreign recruitment. Please have a look!
