Sales (Security/Network)

Before we talk about security and network sales positions, I'd like to first hear about how the two of you joined the company. If I remember correctly, Mr. Yamamoto met Macnica while studying abroad, right?

That's right. I studied abroad in the US for about a year during my university years, and I encountered Macnica at a local job hunting event. I had always wanted to work globally, so I was interested in trading companies, and I thought I'd give it a listen.

Macnica is a B to B company, and many of the students who have just started job hunting don't know anyone, so they come to the information session with a casual mindset at first (lol)

However, when I actually went through the selection process, it was a bit different from other companies. The HR staff didn't ask me any unorthodox questions, and they gave me an interview that looked at my "personality". When I received the job offer, I still remember feeling highly motivated and decided to join the company.

What a coincidence! When I was looking for a job, one of my priorities was "global." However, when I went through the selection process, I found that Macnica was completely different from other companies. All the employees were lively and I felt their vitality. I thought, "I want to work with these people!" and that was the deciding factor for me to join the company.

Both of you had a global perspective, but in the end, you decided to join Macnica because you were attracted to the people you met during the selection process. When I think about why such talented people decided to join the company, I think that the people you work with are a very important factor. How do you feel now that you've joined the company and are actually working there?

I was surprised at how humble the excellent seniors were! His stance is that "I've never accomplished anything on my own. It's all thanks to the cooperation of those around me and the relationships of trust that my seniors have built." When I see seniors who are full of confidence and never arrogant, I think, "I have to do my best to be like this!"

It's pure joy to see a young employee like Mr. Yamamoto think that way of a senior employee!

Mr. Yamamoto, it's only been two years since you joined the company.

I find it rewarding to come into contact with cutting-edge technologies that are still largely unknown in Japan, and to be involved in the formation of new markets ahead of other companies! You can get a real feeling that "this technology is spreading in the world because I was there".

Macnica is a company with a unique ability to discern and the foresight to make upfront investments with an eye on the future. That's why we can contract with companies that have technology that is still largely unknown to domestic customers, and quickly expand that technology to Japan.

There are also small happy events in everyday life. A revolutionary cutting-edge solution is sometimes featured in the newspaper, but I've known about it for more than half a year, and I often feel that I'm running the world's "leading edge." There was

This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it feels like riding in a time machine. One of the best parts of working in security and network sales at Macnica is being able to see what the future holds in a constantly changing world.

Speaking of the real pleasure of work, I would like to mention the wide variety of customers involved. Our solutions protect personal information, confidential corporate information, and national secret information from the threat of cyber terrorism. Therefore, our customers are diverse, ranging from general companies to government agencies, and we need to be familiar with each market. Since you will be throwing yourself into an environment where you are required to grow on a daily basis, you will be able to expand your range as a sales person.

Universities and other educational institutions are also customers. When I was a student, when I logged in to the university's dedicated site, I thought the authentication system was "troublesome", but when I joined the company, I was convinced that the authentication service was introduced for this purpose ( smile)

Nowadays, with the spread of the Internet and digital storage of information becoming commonplace, there is a lot of information that we as security and network sales professionals need to protect from threats such as cyber terrorism. To that extent, different types of support are required depending on each industry and business type, so we need to increase Macnica 's capabilities.
