We have been holding interviews with junior high school students near our office for four years. This volunteer activity is one of the local services of our Rotary Club, Takarazuka Mukogawa in Japan. They select one firm from the list of 36 occupations and visit the firm which they are interested in visiting. I asked them why they chose my company and they said “We are interested in Internet businesses which will be more important in the future.” At first I explained with some questions about our online shop, such as our products, the structure of our industry, strategies, difficulties and the difference between real shops and virtual shops. They prepared questions about the occupations as follows:
1 What do you do?
2 When did you start to think about your job?
3 Why did you choose your current job?
4 What is the interesting part of your job?
5 What is the difference between students and adults?
6 What do you recommend doing for the future when you are high school students?
I replied to those questions from my experiences in about one hour. They asked many questions besides those. They said most of them have never thought about their occupation because they don’t yet know what they can do. I was the same in my high school days, but it's important to start to think about it even if it changes later. It is helpful to decide what major they want to take in university as well.
