I used to work in mechanical design, but now I work in sales.
The general workflow for a sales job is as follows:
1. Based on the customer's request, we will request specifications and estimates from relevant parties within our company.
2. Based on the equipment specifications and estimates received from within the company, assess the cost of the equipment and prepare a quotation.
3. Proposing equipment specifications and equipment costs to customers.
4. When a customer places an order, we will communicate the order details to relevant parties within our company and request production.
5. If there are any changes to the customer's order, repeat steps 1 to 4 above according to the changes.
6. Follow-up until the final commissioning and handover.

Regardless of your job type, such as mechanical design or sales, there are many occasions when you will interact with not only customers, but also internal stakeholders and other vendors as you work at our company. Working with various stakeholders, both from within our company and from other companies, you can plan your own path to ensure the smoothest possible progress. Conversely, because you have to plan your own path, you naturally develop judgment, decision-making, and negotiation skills through repeated trial and error. You can also gain a sense of accomplishment when you collaborate with various stakeholders to ultimately resolve issues and problems that you could not solve on your own.

There is often a big gap between working adults and students, so I personally think it's important to get some part-time work experience while you're a student, no matter what it is. If you can experience how hard it is to earn money through part-time work while you're a student, I think you'll be able to work hard at your job later in life as a working adult. When you enter the workforce, be sure to convert your salary into an hourly rate and compare it to the hourly rate you earned in your student part-time job. If you always think about whether you're doing work that's worth the hourly rate converted from your salary and approach your work with that in mind, I'm sure you'll be on your way to becoming a full-fledged member of society.
