What were you doing before joining ZenGroup?<\/h2><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Because I am in the Purchasing Division, I get the unique opportunity to purchase a wide range of products beyond my personal reach. Daily, I encounter a diverse range of products like watches, fishing gear, books, parts, and miscellaneous goods. It’s fascinating to discover and learn about products I was previously unfamiliar with.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Can you describe your work, including your team and colleagues?<\/h2><\/div>

Sure. The department I work in is called the Purchasing Department, which is divided into an auction team and a purchasing team. I am a member of the purchasing team, and we purchase items from Amazon, Yahoo Shopping, Rakuten, Rakuma, Mercari, and various other stores. I usually handle the end-user’s questions and requests, purchases from various stores, and message sales on Mercari and RakuMa.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do you have any memorable experiences where your colleagues supported or cooperated with you?<\/h2><\/div>

In our Purchasing Section, we’re responsible for ticket handling, addressing various requests from end users daily. There were times when I faced challenging tasks, but I successfully completed them through the help and collaboration with my coworkers. The team atmosphere is positive and supportive, which allows me to feel relaxed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
