My responsibilities include design, sales, and marketing of special transportation materials; content production services such as video production and CG creation; and support for customs clearance and related operations as well as coordination with contractors.

In addition, when my child catches a cold, I can work flexibly from home, which is helpful.
On my days off, I go to the mall with my family, and spend time shopping and playing with my children. At home, I watch my elementary school children study.

General business work support:
Imports – various arrangements for part or all of the work from port of entry to delivery destination.

I walk a lot with friends, go out for a good meal, and go out for a drink at a favorite restaurant.
I go to beauty and nail salons.
I have recently joined a gymnasium, so I am gradually getting more opportunities to exercise.

Two years prior, I was hired as a full-time employee for the first time in approximately 25 years. At first, I knew nothing about this industry and struggled a lot relying on the support and guidance of those around me. Now, when I can help customers or colleagues even slightly, my sense of achievement increases.
