During an annual electrical equipment inspection at a factory, I saw a man in his 70s working energetically as a licensed electrical engineer. That moment inspired me — I began to want to continue working as a licensed electrical engineer for many years to come.

I managed to pass the Third-Class Electrical Engineer examination after three years of effort, but I was at a loss because I couldn't find a position where I could gain practical experience without prior experience in the field. It was then that I came across Data Center Xpert's YouTube channel, learned that there was genuine demand for licensed electrical engineers in the data center industry — and that practical experience could be gained there too. Before I knew it, I had already applied.

In addition to DCX, I registered with two other recruitment agencies specializing in placements for licensed electrical engineers to gather information. However, throughout the entire job search process, what stood out most was the exceptional level of support provided by the DCX agent.

In our first consultation, they helped me identify all the experience and background that I could highlight to potential employers, and by preparing high-quality résumés and recommendation letters on my behalf, I gained a great deal of confidence. I was also introduced to job listings exclusive to the data center sector — listings that agents at other firms likely had no access to — which, as someone hoping to move into the rapidly growing data center industry, felt both fresh and genuinely compelling. Even during interviews with companies, they helped me organize exactly what I needed to communicate, allowing me to step into every meeting fully prepared, having clearly reaffirmed my own professional values and direction.

With the strong support of the DCX agent, I successfully transitioned into a facilities management role at a data center. They also negotiated my salary, resulting in nearly a 20% increase in annual compensation. Since it is the work I had always wanted to do, I feel highly motivated and confident that I can build a fulfilling career going forward. For someone who had all but given up on a career as a licensed electrical engineer, this outcome was beyond anything I had imagined.

I am now able to address the complex challenges that arise between global data center standards and Japanese regulations with a broader perspective and stronger resources — exactly the kind of career advancement I was seeking.

For anyone who is considering building a career as a licensed electrical engineer — even without prior practical experience — I would strongly recommend exploring a transition into the data center industry. Finally, I am deeply grateful to the DCX agent for everything. They were a true professional, and I felt completely at ease putting my trust in them. They encouraged me through every step of the process. Thank you so very much.
