■ Project Background
In the job hunting scene, students' eyes light up as they say, "I want to grow," and companies proudly declare, "We offer an environment where you can grow."
While these phrases may sound appealing at first glance, what exactly is "growth" in the first place? Doesn't the meaning of this word vary greatly from person to person? When envisioning one's career or during job interviews, are we using this word without a clear definition?
How do experienced professionals view these questions? The editorial department of GaishiShukatsu.com delved into the true nature of "growth."
■ Article Structure
This is a 7-part series of interview articles with the following professionals:
#1 The "Deviation Score Principle" that hinders the "happy life" of elites
Naoto Hoshi, Director and CFO (Chief Financial Officer), Unifa
#2 Think about your own mold, rather than blind "growth" that fits a pre-defined pattern
