■単語・フレーズの解説

1. long-term vision（長期的なビジョン、展望）
I'd like to hear about your long-term vision.
将来に向けた長期的な構想・目標を指す。面接で頻出。対義は short-term goal（短期的目標）。

2. Where do you see yourself in 〜?（〜後、自分がどうなっていると思いますか？）
Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?
キャリアの将来像を問う定番の面接質問。直訳は「どこに自分を見るか」だが、「どうなっていたいか」という意味。丸ごとフレーズで覚えるのがおすすめ。

3. align with 〜（〜と合致する、方向性が一致する）
That aligns well with our direction.
考え・目標・価値観などが一致することを表す。ビジネス頻出。

4. take initiative / take ownership（主体的に動く／当事者意識を持つ）
I believe someone has to take initiative / We value people who can take ownership.
take initiative は「自ら率先して動く」、take ownership は「自分ごととして責任を持つ」。どちらも英語圏の職場で高く評価される姿勢を表す重要表現。

5. resonate with 〜（〜の心に響く、〜に深く共感する）
That vision really resonates with me.
もともとは音が「共鳴する・反響する」という物理的な意味（The sound resonated through the hall. 音がホールに響いた）。そこから比喩的に「考えや価値観が心に響く」の意味に広がった。

■会話のスクリプト

Kirishima: Hello, Ao. I'm Kenichi Kirishima, the CEO. Naruse has told me a lot about you, and I was impressed by your background. Thank you for making it to the final round.

Ao: Thank you, Mr. Kirishima. It's an honor to meet you. I'm excited to be here.

Kirishima: Let's get started. I'd like to hear about your long-term vision. Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?

Ao: That's a great question. In five years, I'd like to become a team leader who drives sales strategy. In ten years, I hope to take on a broader role, maybe managing a whole department. Ultimately, I want to grow alongside the company and help it expand into new markets.

Kirishima: That aligns well with our direction. Now, let me ask you something different. When you face a difficult decision and there's no clear answer, how do you handle it?

Ao: I try to gather as much information as I can, and I talk with the people involved to understand different perspectives. But in the end, I believe someone has to take initiative and make a decision. I'm comfortable taking that responsibility.

Kirishima: I like that mindset. We value people who can take ownership. Do you have any questions for me?

Ao: Yes. As the CEO, what is your long-term vision for the company over the next decade?

Kirishima: Great question. My goal is to make Talenta AI the industry standard across Asia within ten years. To get there, we need people who are willing to grow with us. I hope you'll be one of them.

Ao: Thank you. That vision really resonates with me, and I'd love to be part of that journey.
