Job Selection

In this blog, we introduce a day in the life of Ms. A, who works as a consultant at a foreigner recruiting firm. Depending on the day, she may have training or meetings with clients, but this time, we caught up with her for a basic day at work. And she mainly uses English for internal terms and Japanese with clients and candidates.

I would like to share my experience of working at a foreign company as a reference for those who are thinking of changing jobs. There are several types of foreign companies, the company I worked for had its headquarters overseas, and I worked at its Japanese branch. There are many different types of foreign companies, but the management policies and philosophies of the company are determined by the overseas headquarters, so I think the corporate culture of a foreign company was strong.

Each individual is different, and no two people are or work the same, but similarities between us all do occur, and these are what we need to focus on. You have your goals and way of working the same way that footballers have different and individual ways of playing. However, it is when these ways of working come together you see a massive and great progression. This is why it is vitally important that you find a team that works in a similar manner to you. This starts with the manager; due to personal individualities, all managers do not manage their team in the same way. This is all down to their work ethic and how they have gained progression in the past.
