F.A.Q in hiring 採用プロセスでよく聞かれること
What level of English communication do you expect? どの程度英語ができれば良いですか?
• If you can read and write technical documents •
If you don't fear speaking broken and poor English • If you are passionate in improving your English • 技術文書の読み書きができれば • 拙い英語を話すことを恐れなければ • 英語を上達させる気持ちがあれば
Asked English-speaking folks 英語話者に聞いてみた
Perfection is NOT expected. 完璧さは求められていない。
"Tech" is your shortcut. 「技術」がショートカットになる。
AI tools are your friends. Especially, in async communication. AIツールが強力な味方になる。特に非同期コミュニケーションで。
Then, should I learn English? それなら、英語は勉強するべきか?
YES. 😇
#1. When sync communication is needed 同期的なコミュニケーションが必要な場合
#2. Remove the "Debuff". 「デバフ」を解除するため。
#3. Career Growth. キャリアの選択肢を広げるため。
How to improve? No magic. Trade-off: English vs. Tech. 上達法は?魔法はない。英語と技術学習のトレードオフ。
Conclusion 1. Don't be afraid of making mistakes! 飛び込んでみる価値はある 2.
Embrace the struggle. 苦労を受け入れよう 3. Keep improving. 成長し続けよう
