Section 7 — Five Common Mistakes to Avoid
セクション7 — 日本人がやりがちな5つのミス
▼
- Mistake 1 (Too long): Don't list everything you do. ✅ Keep it simple, like: "Hi, I'm Yuki. I work in marketing — I mainly handle social media and content planning." ミス1:自己紹介が長すぎる。細かな内容は後の会話で補えば良いので、3文でシンプルに!
- Mistake 2 (No role/dept): Don't just say your name. ✅ Add your team so people know how to interact with you. ミス2:名前だけで自分の役割や部署を言わない。相手がどう関わればいいか分かりません。
- Mistake 3 (Wrong formality): Don't say "Yo, I'm Ken" to a client. ✅ Use "Good morning, my name is Ken Tanaka" for clients, and "Hey, I'm Ken" for teammates. ミス3:場違いなカジュアル・フォーマル度。顧客にはフルネーム、同僚にはファーストネームで使い分けを。
- Mistake 4 (Direct Japanese translation): Avoid "I am marketing department's person." ✅ Say "I work in marketing." ミス4:日本語からの直訳。「department's person」は不自然です。「I work in [部署]」などと言いましょう。
- Mistake 5 (No closing line): Don't stop abruptly. ✅ Always end with "Nice to meet you" or "I look forward to working with you" to leave a warm impression. ミス5:締めの言葉がない。唐突に終わらせず、「Nice to meet you.」などで気持ちよく締めくくります。
