Tilt Career

April starts. The new fiscal year has begun in Japan.

At the beginning of 2024, I made a resolution and attended a training course for the national Career Consultant certification, and then I passed the exam at the end of the year. 

As 2025 arrived, I completed the registration process and finally started my new activities as a Career Consultant. However, having just begun this career, I still need a lot of studies and experiences. 

I've decided to record my self-improvement journey on this blog. 'Tilt' means being biased or inclined, and is sometimes used negatively to describe losing one's cool and going in a strange direction. 

But when I think about our future careers and work lives, I feel it might be okay to be a little biased, inclined, or moving in an odd direction. 

AI will handle perfect work. At least better than us. If so, what kind of work will humans do then? Thinking about this, I believe it's okay to be imperfect, flawed, or have peculiar obsessions. Such human-like work might start to hold value. With this intuition, I titled this blog 'Tilt Career'. 

There is a yakitori restaurant I often visit. One out of every three times, there's an order mistake in the restaurant, and I'm served something different. I like that, and I've been going to the restaurant for years now. While some might not understand, there are people who enjoy such unexpected events, and I'd be happy if I could convey here that there are various types of value in work. 

My memorable first post was done!

Reading Fuji TV Third-Party Committee Report as a career consultant

 On March 31, a detailed 273-page investigative report called the Fuji TV Third-Party Committee Report was released ( https://www.fujitv.co.jp/company/news/250331_3.pdf ).   This comprehensive document covers a sexual assault incident involving a female announcer.   Key points : The report details the company's response to a female announcer who suffered mental health issues due to sexual violence. It addresses legal disputes and corporate responses after media coverage. While initially seeming unrelated to career consulting, the report suggests potential benefits of career counseling for those involved.   Incident overview : June 2023: A talent sexually assaulted a female announcer (referred to as Woman A). Woman A's health deteriorated; the incident was reported to upper management. Limited members handled the situation confidentially. Woman A wanted to return to work but lost trust in the company as...

Reading "Toyota's People Development That Akio Toyoda Values Most"

イメージ
  "Toyota's People Development That Akio Toyoda Values Most" (Published by President Inc.) The release date was May 27, 2025. I bought and read it right away. The book gives a detailed account of the Toyota Technical Skills Academy , an in-house school run by Toyota.   As a career consultant, I have a deep interest in the advanced approach to career education in Nagoya. Career education begins as early as elementary school, likely due to the large number of major manufacturing companies in the Tokai region. This environment fosters a culture where children aspire to become technicians or engineers from a young age. At the center of this culture, naturally, stands Toyota.   The Toyota Technical Skills Academy is a school independently established by Toyota. Company-run schools are quite rare, and I imagine many people are unaware they exist. The academy has two educational tracks: a high school-level department where students enroll at age 15 and attend for th...

Work by Lars Svendsen

In career consultant training courses, students study both career theories that emerged in the early 20th century and psychology, which originated in the 19th century and gave rise to various theories in the 20th century. These two fields have merged to form the academic foundation for providing theoretical support for each worker’s self-actualization and for finding meaning in their work. Usually, the role of a career consultant is understood based on these modern academic theories. However, Work by Lars Svendsen offers a fascinating perspective by tracing the concept of work all the way back to ancient Greece, showing how our ideas about work have evolved over time. Rather than going into too much detail here, I’ll summarize Chapter One of the book, which outlines the major transitions in the concept of labor. This chapter alone is already quite thought-provoking. * * * In ancient times , Greek philosophers regarded labor as something base or lowly. They believed that the goal o...
