The first step in becoming a working adult is,
Start with "obtaining a driver's license"

I joined Teruya Electric right after graduating from high school, but the first thing I was assigned wasn't sales work, but "getting my driver's license." I was honestly surprised that they let me attend driving school during working hours and that I could get my license while getting paid. I knew a car was necessary for sales, but I didn't expect them to be so flexible in supporting me. This company doesn't expect you to be perfect from the start; instead, they nurture you step by step, according to your individual growth.

"I give my all to both work and casual conversation."
That's why the team gets stronger.

Although I'm currently in the position of deputy manager, I try to be as friendly as possible with my subordinates. Of course, we talk about sales, but when we're driving together, we also have casual conversations like, "What do you do on your days off?" or we get excited talking about golf and our hobbies. It's in these casual conversations that work worries and anxieties naturally come out. Sales at Teruya Electric isn't a job you do alone. It's a job where we support each other as a team and achieve results together, so I think daily communication is very important.

"Even if you only have a high school diploma, it's okay."
Please take that first step with confidence.

To be honest, I joined the company without a good understanding of the basics of being a working adult, so I had a lot of anxieties at first. However, Teruya Electric is a company that looks at "how hard you're working" and "how you're approaching things" rather than your academic background. I've never once felt like I was being held back because I only have a high school diploma since joining the company. If you don't understand something, your colleagues will teach you, and even if you fail, there's an environment that encourages you to keep trying. It's perfectly normal not to be able to do everything at first! I hope you'll take that first step without rushing and with confidence.

The feeling of "liking to talk to people"
Reasons for choosing a sales position

Through my part-time job in customer service, I realized that I wanted a job where I could talk to people rather than desk work, so I chose a sales position where I could directly interact with customers. I enjoyed being able to feel the reactions of others when interacting with them, and I felt that this way of working suited me. I was also attracted to the company's motto of "supporting challenges," and I felt that "if it's a company that respects the will and challenges of each individual employee, I think I can grow in a way that is true to myself," so I decided to join the company.

During the six-month training program,
An environment where you can learn thoroughly from scratch.

Instead of immediately going out on sales calls after joining the company, I learned the basics of being a working professional, such as exchanging business cards and writing emails. After that, I gained experience in product training, logistics warehouse training, and administrative tasks, gradually understanding the workflow step by step. The training period lasts about six months, and even without specialized knowledge, you will be thoroughly taught from the basics. You won't be left alone while feeling anxious; you will be accompanied by senior colleagues and gradually increase what you can do, so I think it's an environment where you can start with confidence even if you're new to sales.

“Conditions that are important to me”
I want this to be prioritized.

When considering a job, some people may worry too much about what others think or feel overly pressured to "choose the right answer." However, I think it's better to trust your gut feeling. I sorted out the conditions that were important to me, one by one: "I want a job where I can talk to people" and "I want a job that I can continue without feeling overwhelmed." Because work is something you do for a long time, I want you to prioritize whether it "suits you" rather than conforming to those around you. If you choose a place that way, I think you'll be able to work hard with a positive attitude even if you feel anxious.

I was drawn to the warmth of the people and decided to join the company.

During my job search, I prioritized finding a company where I could work securely for a long time, rather than focusing on "I want to do this job!" The main reason I chose Teruya Electric was the personalities of the people I met during the interviews and the president. As I talked with them, I naturally felt that I wanted to work for this company. The fact that it's a stable company in a field essential to daily life was also appealing, and I was impressed by the support they provided before I started working after receiving the job offer. It was a big factor that I felt even before joining the company that it was a company that valued its employees.

Passing the baton of logistics as a team,
Supporting someone's daily life

My job involves checking the goods that arrive at the warehouse to make sure there are no mistakes, putting them on the shelves, retrieving items according to orders, packing them neatly, and shipping them out. I feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that our work ultimately leads to products reaching people who need them. Teamwork is essential because the work cannot be done by one person alone. We are mindful of ensuring that the next person in the process will not encounter any problems, and we thoroughly prioritize safety, accuracy, and carefulness. This accumulation of effort reduces errors and contributes to the overall smoothness of the workplace.

A workplace that values ​​and nurtures its employees.

Many of the warehouse staff are veterans, and when I first started, I was completely lost, but they patiently taught me everything, and I was able to grow little by little. Training is often done one-on-one, and there are well-established manuals. There's an atmosphere where you can easily ask questions if you're unsure, so it's okay to "just try it out and ask for advice if you're having trouble." It's natural to feel anxious at first, but it's an environment where you can steadily grow by accumulating experience one step at a time, so I hope you'll take on the challenge with confidence.

"Able to think for oneself and take action"
The small, elite team environment was the deciding factor.

During my job search, I focused on B2B (business-to-business) sales positions and looked for companies with an environment where I could think for myself and take initiative. What attracted me to Teruya Electric was its small, elite team and the significant autonomy given to each individual. Employee opinions are easily heard by superiors and the president, and there's an atmosphere where you can speak up regardless of seniority or position. Of course, there are rules, but I was drawn to the fact that I could think for myself and act independently, rather than simply following instructions. I decided to join the company because I felt that I could grow and take on challenges here.

"I'll buy it from you"
Casual words become a source of motivation.

The most rewarding part of sales is the moment you realize you've earned the customer's trust. One particularly memorable experience was when I visited several busy customers at the end of the year to offer my greetings; they all gathered just for me. We chatted not only about work but also about everyday things, and they told me, "We're buying it because it's you." It was a truly wonderful moment, realizing they relied on me not just for the price or the product, but as a person. I believe that consciously building easy-to-talk-to relationships has led to this kind of trust.

The friend next to me right now,
The time spent
I want you to cherish it.

To all students, I urge you to cherish your time as students. Relationships with friends become a lifelong asset that lasts even into adulthood. Once you become a working adult, your life becomes centered around work, and it's not easy to build new, deep relationships from scratch. Talk, play, and share time together as much as you can now. Those experiences and connections with people will surely become a great source of support for you even after you enter the workforce.

"Supporting others feels more like me."
The choice

Even before joining the company, I felt that I was better suited to a supporting role, observing and assisting others, rather than taking the lead and being the one in charge. Through self-analysis, I realized that I could perform at my best when I was in a position to support others. That's why I applied for a sales administration position. As a sales support person, I am in charge of checking emails, processing orders, creating quotations, and contacting suppliers and manufacturers. Supporting others so that their work runs smoothly is what gives me a sense of fulfillment.

"They're nice people"
That alone can change your sense of security every day.

What I like most about this company is, first and foremost, the people. Even though we're from different age groups, it's easy to talk to each other, the workplace always has a calm atmosphere, and I rarely feel stressed by interpersonal relationships. If I have any questions, I can immediately consult with my seniors or the manager, and I feel secure knowing that they'll listen and understand. Also, something I personally appreciate is that there are few company drinking parties, and there's no culture of mandatory participation. Everyone gets along well, but there's no need to force yourself to socialize, and I feel it's an environment where it's easy to switch between work and leisure.

To be a senior colleague that junior colleagues can easily talk to.
want to become

Right now, I still rely on my seniors quite a bit, but my goal is to gradually increase the number of things I can solve on my own and build my confidence. In the future, I want to become a senior colleague that new employees can approach and talk to, creating a sales office where people feel comfortable asking questions. I know everyone feels anxious at first, so I want to create an atmosphere where people feel like it's okay to ask questions and strive to make the office a comfortable place to work. I want to cherish creating such an environment for those who will be joining us in the future.
