Understanding the Importance of the Job



Lastly, what are your prospects for the future?

    Shiota
    My job is concentrated on permits and authorization related cases and if I fail to process the papers properly, it is possible that individuals within a company could lose their jobs. I have to keep that in mind and figure out exactly what I can do for the company. With this in mind, I prepare each item precisely. This is the style one needs to acquire. Clients appreciate this kind of attitude. As a result, the client might refer my name to someone else and someone else might refer my name to somebody else. This is essential in metropolitan areas and I hope that people don't forget this.

In other words, clients recognize these qualities as being important when making their choice.

    Tajima
    It is the same in the countryside. Additionally, this kind of attitude is very important for those who handle a client's assets. On some occasions, what you do may protect their honor or their rights. If you are doing this just for the money or the status, it is possible that you might cause trouble for or irritate a client. Thus, you need to have pride in your work but at the same time you need to admonish yourself to work for the good of the client.

    I would like to say something to upcoming administrative scriveners. We've all heard that you can't support yourself by being an administrative scrivener. However, whether administrative scriveners can support themselves or not and whether their position in society is high or low will depend on the new generation. We may not have national recognition as a legal professional, but we can gain recognition within the areas in which we work and this will depend on your intentions and your attitudes. This also applies to judicial affairs and permits and authorizations.
    Shiota
    Yes, you're absolutely right.

Thank you for taking time to talk with us despite your busy schedules.
