What made you decide to join Sealy Japan Co., Ltd. ?
There was this fabulous bed at a hotel that I’d stayed at. When I looked it up, it turned out to be a Sealy bed. I wanted other people to get to know and feel this wonderful bed that was installed at this gorgeous hotel, and that is why I decided to work for Sealy Japan.
Please tell us your job responsibilities.
I currently do sales to department store accounts in the Kansai (Western Japan) region.
What is your career /backgrounds before joining Sealy Japan Co., Ltd. ?
Before Sealy, I was a salesclerk at an interior shop. I would propose furniture to customers, to make their bedrooms a more pleasant and comfortable space. The experience I got then is applied directly to the job I have now; securing a pleasant and comfortable space for the customers.
How is the work environment?
I ask the sales staff a lot of questions, but they are always there to answer my questions no matter how basic the questions. Because we don’t have too many people, I think it makes us stick together and help each other out.
What attracts you to work at Sealy Japan and what does “work” means to you?
Buying a bed doesn’t happen many times in a lifetime. I feel honored to be sharing that precious moment with the customers. After listening to the requests of the customers and proposing them a bed that I feel best fits them, there’s nothing more that makes me happier than hearing the customers say “I’m glad I chose this bed. Thank you!!”
What is your dream and what motivates you to achieve your dream?
I love furniture, so I would like to travel around the world and see furniture from all parts of the world. Someday, I would like to design furniture myself.
Tell us a bit about your private life and how you spend your weekends.
I would go watch a movie, or just wander around the city enjoying a stroll. Also shopping.
Do you have anything you are now interested in ? If so, please tell us about it.
I would like to learn to wear a kimono, so that I can wear my grandmother’s kimono. Once I am able to wear a kimono on my own, I would like to learn Sado (Japanese tea ceremony).
