皆様

この度、私戸山昌宏は双日を卒業し、政治家の道を志す事となりました。

入社して直ぐに人事総務部のグローバルチームに配属され、日々外国人の先輩、同僚、後輩から言葉、文化、コミュニケーションの大切さを教えられ、会社で働くための基本を学ばせて頂きました。

又、入社して2ヶ月目でフィリピンへ出張させて頂いた事も貴重な経験となりました。

その後、国内チームで新人研修、階層別研修を担当させて頂き、多くの後輩と関わる機会を頂き、人を育成する大変さ、大切さを学びました。

そして、営業に行きたいという私のワガママを会社に聞き入れて頂き、関西事業部へ異動となりました。

異動してからは、石油化学の事を何も分かっていなかった私ですが、国内外のサプライヤー、オーナー企業の経営者の皆様に鍛えて頂いたおかげで、何とか石油化学のトレーダーとして育つ事が出来たと思っております。

他方で、投資先の企業管理も担当させて頂き、総合商社でなければ出来ない貴重な経験を積ませて頂きました。双日には感謝しかございません。

これから私は、双日での経験、女手ひとつで育ててくれた母、障がいを持つ弟の存在を通じて気付いた日本の抱える社会問題を解決し、京都を世界一住みよいまちにすべく、全力で邁進して参ります。

今後は、京都市右京区梅津を中心に活動して参りますので、何卒宜しくお願い致します。

戸山昌宏

Dear all,

I am writing you today with regards to my decision to leave Sojitz and pursue my dream of becoming a politician.

When I first joined Sojitz, I was assigned to the HR & GA Dept.'s Global HR Team. My non-Japanese coworkers taught me day by day about the importance of language, culture, and communication. I also learned the fundamentals of working at a company during my time there, and I had the unforgettable experience of being sent to the Philippines for two months, so soon after joining the company.

Later, I joined the Japan-focused HR team, handling new employee orientation and training for all levels of staff. I had the opportunity to meet many younger employees, and I came to understand the difficulty and importance of employee development.

Listening to my request, the company sent me to a business department after that. I was transferred me to the Osaka Business Dept.

Although I knew nothing about petrochemicals at that time, I believe that I was somehow able to grow into being a petrochemicals trader thanks to the advice and instruction I received from my suppliers and the management of their owner companies, both within and outside Japan.

At the same time, I helped manage one of Sojitz's holdings, giving me the kind of invaluable experience one could only gain at a general trading company like Sojitz. I have nothing but appreciation for this company.

Going forward, I will give my utmost towards solving the social issues faced by Japan today--issues which I came face-to-face with not only during my time at Sojitz, but in seeing my own mother singlehandedly raise both me and my disabled brother.

I will be working in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto now, so don't hesitate to contact me next time you visit.
