Interview
From Vietnam Interview with Bin
What were you anxious about when starting work at Sun Vision?
For foreigners, the anxiety stemmed from language and cultural differences, which affected communication with clients. In my first year, I didn’t understand much Japanese or Japanese culture, so there were times when I couldn’t communicate with clients at all. However, with the support of my Japanese colleagues at work, I was able to overcome these challenges and now work happily every day.
Why did you decide to work at Sun Vision?
Before coming to Japan, I asked a senior acquaintance working at Sun Vision, “How is Sun Vision?” They said, “It’s a great place to work, and the staff and bosses are kind.” I thought human relationships were the most important aspect of caregiving work, so I decided to work at Sun Vision.
What was the best part about joining Sun Vision?
It was an environment where foreigners could work and consult easily. Thanks to the monthly time provided for studying Japanese and caregiving, I was able to adapt to both work and life in Japan. After three years, I’m glad I was able to obtain the Caregiver Certification.
What challenges or difficulties did you face?
Caregiving work often requires physical strength, such as supporting clients or working night shifts. Since standing for long hours at work creates a significant physical burden, employees need to pay attention to their posture, body mechanics, and health to safely support clients.
What are your future dreams or goals, and what kind of work do you want to do?
Currently, there are no elderly care facilities like this in Vietnam, but in the future, if I get the opportunity, I’d like to use my experience to work as a caregiver there and take on the challenge.
From Vietnam Interview with Joan
What are your fears about working at Sun Vision in Japan?
I was worried about whether I would be able to get along well with my colleagues and superiors.Since I don't have much experience, I was also worried about my nursing skills.
However, my colleagues and senior staff were all kind and they supported me thoroughly from the very beginning, so I was able to learn and easily adopt to work without feeling stress.
Why did you decide to work at Sun Vision?
At my previous workplace in a nursing home, lots of users there only needs low levels of care,so I was only in charge of providing relatively simple nursing care services.
After hearing from a friend who works at Sun Vision,about what its like working there,I became interested in joining Sun Vision.
I wanted also to help users who need specialized nursing care skills, so after obtaining my qualification as a certified care worker, I decided to work at Sun Vision
What was the best thing about joining Sun Vision?
People are kind in this workplace.
It's an environment where you can work with peace of mind because you can consult about anything, and if you don't understand something,you’ll be able to ask them immediately.
What are the challenges and hardships you faced?
The thing I struggled with was the Japanese language.
I only know basic nursing terminologies back then, so it is difficult for me to translate the causes of problems and solutions in Japanese and explain them to my colleagues.
Also,when contacting the users’ families, I sometimes worried about whether I am able to convey the users' conditions in Japanese.But my colleagues were always there to help me, so I am able to work with peace of mind.
Please tell us about your future dreams, goals, and what kind of work you would like to do in the future.
I feel that I’m still not good of taking care for dementia patients, so I would like to learn more about dementia.
From Vietnam Interview with Dea
What were you anxious about when starting work at Sun Vision?
At first, I didn’t know how to work at Sun Vision or how to interact with clients, so I was a bit anxious. However, with two years of hospital experience in Indonesia, I was confident I could do it. When I heard about how facilities in Japan operate, the explanations deepened my understanding, and I thought I could work well in the facility. I still don’t fully understand all of Sun Vision’s rules, what can or cannot be done, and I was anxious about whether I could do the job properly. To prepare, I searched online for information about the rules applicable to Japanese facilities to alleviate my concerns.
Why did you decide to work at Sun Vision?
I first considered whether to choose a facility in an urban area or a rural one. Having grown up in a village and being accustomed to village life, I really liked the quiet and comfortable atmosphere of rural areas, so I chose a rural facility. While searching for rural facilities, I came across Sun Vision. I researched Sun Vision thoroughly, learning about the benefits offered to workers, work schedules, monthly salary, and employee dormitories. I also looked into other facilities, but Sun Vision aligned more closely with what I wanted, so I decided to work there.
What was the best part about joining Sun Vision?
Having an employee dormitory and living close to the workplace is great. Even when I work late shifts until late at night, I feel safe returning home alone because it’s nearby. Additionally, Sun Vision’s work system is team-based, allowing us to collaborate with other staff and reduce work fatigue. Although I’m still not fluent in Japanese, I can ask for help from other staff when I face difficulties, so being able to work as a team is a great aspect.
What challenges or difficulties did you face?
Providing care to clients with different personalities really tests my patience and can be challenging. I struggle with how to handle situations or calm them down, which can be perplexing. There are also times when thinking about conflicts between clients is exhausting, but I collaborate with other staff to provide appropriate care to clients.
What are your future dreams or goals, and what kind of work do you want to do?
In the workplace, there are seniors, juniors, subordinates, and bosses—some are guided, and some guide others. In the future, I want to become a leader who can collaborate effectively with other staff. I hope to empathize with clients’ feelings, consult with seniors and colleagues, avoid being self-centered, and engage with clients with a broad perspective while reporting, communicating, and consulting.
