What made you decide to join Beyond?

There was no particular reason why I wanted to apply to Beyond; I had applied to various IT companies.
When I saw their website and learned that they were involved in API development and infrastructure, I became interested.
I applied to various IT companies, but the reason I chose Beyond was because I felt that I could get closer to people.
During the interview, I didn't feel like I was being interviewed, and I got the impression that I was being treated as an equal.
I didn't feel like ``the person interviewing'' or ``the person being interviewed,'' but instead felt like it was a person-to-person conversation.
It was the same feeling from the first interview to the third interview.
I have interviewed at many IT companies, but this was the first time I had ever felt this way, and I thought that the atmosphere would be a good match for me.
During the interview, there were many questions that questioned my personality rather than my IT skills.
At the third interview, I was asked, ``Can I ask you one last question?'' and I
was asked, ``Mr. Mizusawa, are you lucky?'' It left a strong impression on me.
Of course, I answered, "I'm lucky," along with a specific reason.
I have been interviewed several times, but this was the first time I was asked this question.
That moment gave me goosebumps when the Beyond interviewer asked me, “Are you lucky?”
This is because I have often felt that the "element of luck" has a lot to do with whether things go well or not,
and people who aspire to become what they want to become have similar values.
they were highly valued.
The things you need to do to attract luck are: ``Don't be a bystander to your own intuition,'' ``
Take on new challenges,'' ``Do a huge amount of work,'' and ``Continue on a yearly basis.''
I felt that it was about putting these things into practice
. Therefore, we can listen to your questions and continue working with you for many years.
And being able to visualize myself as being able to deliver proof of my growth over that time frame to all of my stakeholders
continues to be a pillar of support for me.

Did you have any resistance to emigration?

There was not even a millimeter of resistance.
Admittedly, at first I thought, ``If I want to get a job related to IT, I'd probably choose Kanto or Kansai.''
So I thought I would have to look for a job in Kanto or Kansai, but I hadn't decided where I would work.
Meanwhile, I came across an IT job posting in Tokushima and thought it might be interesting.
I didn't choose Tokushima just because I wanted to, but there just happened to be an IT company in Tokushima.
I cherish chance encounters like this.
I didn't choose Tokushima intentionally, but I encountered Tokushima through an IT company.
``Come to think of it, I've never been to Tokushima, so I thought it would be interesting,'' I was excited.
I felt like I could spend more time in the countryside, and since there weren't many engineers in Tokushima,
I thought that if I improved my technical skills in the future, I might get noticed as an engineer.
If that happens, I think it might be useful for Beyond.
Actually, I've lived in Tokushima and I think it's really nice.
Above all, I think it's great because the relationships between people are so strong.
From now on, I would like to expand my friendships and build deeper relationships!

Honestly, what kind of workplace is the Beyond Shikoku office?

■ What kind of company is Beyond?
A company that is agile and flexible to change.
To be more specific, I'm
quick to incorporate things like using the virtual SNS "cluster" in my job offer ceremony, and trying out various online tools while working remotely,
so I thought, "Okay, let's give it a try!" Employees are quick to accept this.
I think it's a jungle-like company where the employees are full of individuality and natural. (Laughs)
Normally, the weakest would be eaten by the fittest, right?
However, they coexist.
I can't say it well, but I feel every day that he has a rich individuality, and his individuality is lively.
There is a sense of respecting each other's individuality without competing with them.
However, there is always a sense of professionalism, and I think Beyond is truly a professional group.
Although I have a lot of freedom, I feel like I am able to work with a good sense of tension.
Normally, I don't think that in a professional group, individuality would shine so brightly, but
Beyond's individuality shines through in a strange way.

■ What kind of workplace is the Shikoku office?
Already a Persian cat! All I can think of is a Persian cat.
Mr. Inoue spent over a year and a half building the foundation for the Shikoku office.
First of all, I had the first interview with Mr. Inoue, and from there I was able to take the first step towards getting a job at Beyond,
as this is the office that Mr. Inoue has been protecting for over a year and a half.
It feels more like a "Persian cat office" than a Shikoku office.
From now on, I will be a member of the team who will work together to make the Shikoku office more exciting, so I look forward to working with you!

Finally

I think Mr. Mizusawa is a person who is good at getting along with people.
A person who always remembers to be grateful to others.
That's why she naturally has connections to Tokushima, and I think her friendships have continued to expand even after coming to Tokushima.
In addition, she is mature as a member of society, and I feel that she has a lot to learn from me every day.
I hereby pledge to work with Mr. Mizusawa to make the Shikoku office more exciting! !

Growing every day, moving forward every day.
I have to update myself every day! ! !
Thank you for reading to the end.
