In this era of minimalist style, almost everyone can see MUJI (muji), whether it is the favorite stationery series for student groups, the furniture and kitchenware series that office workers love to invest in, or all ages. MUJI-style clothing suitable for wear, MUJI's design influence has already entered every corner of the society, even those who study abroad to study abroad will regularly go to MUJI stores in East Asian shopping district to find favorite daily necessities, which means MUJI " No Brand's simple spirit traces the texture of each person's life.
Many people will also set MUJI as one of the “brands that really want to work in.” Perhaps it is attracted by the simple and practical Wenqing style of MUJI. Perhaps it is because of MUJI's complete promotion system and employee benefits. Which one of the MUJI brands is oriented is the driving force for people to go to apply.
In response, we invited Sally (a pseudonym), a senior employee who has worked in the MUJI sales department, to talk about MUJI's Japanese workplace culture and to dissect the reasons why this miscellaneous brand is so popular.
As mentioned before, MUJI's perfect corporate system and employee benefits are indeed the biggest flaws in the minds of people who want to apply for a job, and they have also used this good image to become the second best-placed brand. For this phenomenon, Sally thinks this is due to the cultural baptism of Japanese companies: "After the withdrawal of the unified group, MUJI was 100% owned by the Japanese company. Although there is not much change in employee welfare, you can clearly feel that Japanese-style companies are really doing management strictly. They will require some small details to be perfected, or they expect the quality of employees to reach a consistent level and create a work environment that is closer to Japanese workplace culture. This is also a good thing, so that customers can enjoy better service."
In addition, in addition to a high rate of salary adjustment and bonus system, MUJI will also regularly issue employee benefits vouchers. "We will get four employee benefits vouchers in two months. You can use these vouchers to buy new clothes, trousers and shoes. There are discounts. You can wear these new clothes. MUJI is working very MUJI."
Because the student community is one of MUJI's strong customers, the "Stationery Series" that everyone is familiar with is MUJI's best-selling product. However, Sally also strongly recommends that everyone purchase MUJI's beauty care products to feel the freshness and comfort of natural ingredients.
"For sensitive skin girls or students who are just beginning to contact beauty care, MUJI skin care products will be a basic necessities to start with."
In addition to beauty and skin care products, MUJI's snacks and cooking ingredients, non-wood furniture series, and organic cotton apparel products all adhere to the concept of “natural environmental protection, high quality, and no excessive packaging” and will “perform corporate society. The good image of "responsibility" is deeply rooted in people's minds.
As a professional employee, Sally also taught us how to buy the best MUJI products: "In addition to the anniversary of the department store every year, the most important thing to follow is the "MUJI Birthday" from April to May every year. In addition to these, in addition to these, if you have a MUJI co-branded card, you will receive a rebate of $5 for every $100 spent, which means a cash discount of $5. So if you have a match with a department store The discount season, together with Muji's own promotions, will give you a double discount."
Incidentally, the activities of the anniversary celebrations in Taiwan/Hong Kong are mostly distributed between September and December, and special holidays such as Valentine's Day (February), Mother's Day (May), Mid-Autumn Festival (August), etc. There are also discounts available.
"Don't be too illusionary about this job. Let interest be your driving force."
Sally confessed that working in MUJI is just as hard as working in other retail industries, so don't take too much of a dream. With MUJI's wide variety of items, the details you need to pay attention to are numerous. "Interests" will be the key factor in deciding whether or not you can "enjoy this job."
For those who want to work in MUJI, Sally also teaches the secrets of how to quickly promote: perseverance and patience, set long-term goals, and strive to win the executive favorite. With these three employee qualities, the opportunity for promotion is not far away from you.
"Actually, as long as you like to contact the crowd and love the MUJI brand concept, you can really try it out. Apart from being able to cultivate a strong memory, you need to get along with people of all shapes and sizes. You will learn how to deal with people with different personalities, and then you will be able to train people with excellent communication skills."
Sally also mentioned that working partners often come and go as they rotate around other stores, so working at MUJI must have strong resilience and tolerance to adapt to these changes quickly. I believe that this ability, whether in the workplace or in life, will be an important characteristic that leads individuals to success.
