This blog post introduces methods to persuasively incorporate counseling experience into your resume when applying for a member management position, along with practical expression tips.

My Background

I was placed in my grandmother’s care immediately after birth and spent my early childhood there. My mother gave birth to me while ill, and my parents, worried that my weak immune system might make me susceptible to illness, made this difficult decision. I later moved in with my parents, and this experience deepened my gratitude towards them. In my foolish youth, I sometimes avoided my parents when they visited, convinced they hated me. I acted this way because I didn’t realize that my mother, despite her illness, never gave up on me, allowing me to be born into this world. Hearing from my grandmother that my mother had risked her life to give birth to me made me cry a lot. Today, my entire family is healthy and lives in harmony. Perhaps because my mother was ill, I have always been very concerned about health. That’s why I started exercising when I was young. Climbing mountains and playing badminton with my mother and father became an opportunity for our family to bond more tightly and greatly influenced building up my stamina to the point where I could compete in local badminton tournaments. Currently, I enjoy swimming. Based on my strong stamina, I will perform your company’s work excellently.

School Days

Eager to enter society early, I chose a specialized high school over a general one. I believe my high school years shaped me into who I am today. During high school, I lived in a dormitory. It was during this time that I relied on my roommates, and together we endured the challenges of high school. We shared our dreams, offered and received advice, and enjoyed a fulfilling youth. Our school was famous for its festival. Being in a rural area, the festival featured programs designed to be enjoyed together with local residents. As a member of the broadcasting club, I was assigned to emcee various events during my sophomore year. Hosting in front of the entire student body and visiting guests was far more nerve-wracking than I had imagined, so I prepared extensively. Despite this, I was so flustered during the first segment that I can barely recall it now. I checked the script and the order flawlessly. As time passed, my nerves eased a bit, and I found myself enjoying the festival while hosting. That day, I discovered a new side of myself. It was a talent show segment for local residents, and I surprised even myself by improvising ad-libs that weren’t in the script. My friends, who had initially worried I might collapse from being too stiff, later praised me highly, saying they got drawn into my hosting as time went on. Through high school, I believe I rediscovered my lively and spirited side. I think this will serve as a strong foundation for effectively managing your company’s members.

Personality Strengths and Weaknesses

I have a smooth and easygoing personality, fostering harmonious interpersonal relationships. To date, I have never been involved in arguments or conflicts with others. This reflects my nature of actively avoiding situations that could lead to friction. Additionally, I possess a keen observational nature, allowing me to understand the personalities of those around me quite well. This strength likely contributes to my skill in building relationships. I am highly responsible. I see tasks through to completion no matter what, and I take responsibility for my choices regardless of the outcome. This is likely why I often take on leadership roles among friends. However, I recognize that my somewhat hasty nature is a weakness. My eagerness to accomplish tasks quickly can sometimes lead me to rush. I’ve come to realize this impatience can actually cause mistakes, so I’m actively working to correct this trait. Every morning, I meditate to control myself, reminding myself not to rush and cultivating a more relaxed attitude to overcome this weakness. Through these efforts, I am confident I can perform your company’s tasks without error.

Career History (or experience demonstrating work capabilities)

I have experience working at the call center of ○○ Computer. It was a place with a high volume of consultations regarding computer repairs and inquiries. To provide customers with the most comprehensive information possible, I made an effort to thoroughly familiarize myself with the company’s operational manuals first. Based on this, I acquired fundamental computer knowledge and developed expertise. As a result, I was able to provide professional consultations to the extent that I could resolve most repair requests without even needing to log them as formal service calls. Since I was interacting with customers over the phone, I made a point to be especially courteous. Misunderstandings can easily arise when you can’t see the other person’s face.
I have experience managing members as the head of the counseling team at ○○ Academy. As it was a specialized academy for college entrance exam students, I diligently worked to learn all about the admissions process. Providing accurate information and precise data is essential to earning the trust of parents and students. I believe my kindness and expertise in admissions information earned the trust of parents and students, enabling me to advance from staff member to team leader.

Motivation for Application and Aspirations

I first learned about your company through its workbooks. I recall enjoying studying math and Chinese characters during elementary school. The fact that I, once a customer, am now preparing to join your company as a staff member truly excites me. If given the opportunity to work at your company, which pursues clear goals and continuous research and development not only in education but across diverse business fields, I promise to never forget this excitement and to work harder than anyone else. Through my experience in counseling and member management, I realized that professional expertise and an attitude of endless learning are paramount. Based on this insight, I earnestly hope for the chance to work diligently and be recognized as a core talent at your company.
