A strong resume and LinkedIn profile is an investment in your future.

Our Partner has placed more than 150 executive-level professionals, including Japan Country Managers and partner-level leaders, at leading global companies, writing each of their resumes along the way.

IS YOUR RESUME HOLDING YOU BACK?
Have you applied to several companies and not heard back for over a week? This is very common, and often it’s the resume, not your experience, that’s the problem. Many resumes don’t get through because they are:

• AI-written

• Hard to read quickly

• Not tailored to the roles being applied for, even when the experience is a strong fit

• Not showing the full value of what you’ve done

As an executive search firm, we see every day which resumes get shortlisted by global hiring teams in Japan, and which don’t.

WHAT YOU GET

1. Your resume and LinkedIn profile, written from scratch, to present your experience clearly and match the roles you’re targeting.

2. The skills to keep them up to date yourself, so you can tailor your resume for each future application.

3. An inside view of the hiring process, including how to apply directly and what happens in Talent Acquisition teams after you apply.

The goal is to give you skills and insight that will help you throughout your career, not just for this job search.

Many strong candidates miss out on offers, not because of their ability, but because of how they come across in a gaishikei interview.

Our Partner has coached more than 150 executive-level professionals, including Japan Country Managers and partner-level leaders, through interviews at leading global companies.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Have you left an interview knowing you had the right skills, but feeling you didn’t get your value across? This is a common challenge for bilingual professionals in Japan, because global companies:

• Assess candidates differently from Japanese companies

• Expect a particular interview style: clear, confident answers backed up with numbers and results

• Look for cultural fit as closely as skills and experience

Much of what interviewers are really assessing is never written down. As an executive search firm, we hear directly from hiring teams about what they look for, and why candidates do or don’t get offers.

WHAT YOU GET

1. A mock interview run the way global hiring teams actually interview, with detailed feedback on what to improve.

2. Guidance through every stage, including multi-round interviews and case or presentation rounds.

3. Practical interview techniques to communicate your value clearly and confidently.

4. An inside view of how global companies evaluate candidates and make hiring decisions.

*Additional mock interviews are available for an extra fee, for those who’d like more practice before a key interview.

The goal is to help you stand out and walk into every gaishikei interview with confidence.

When a role at a global company can shape the next stage of your career, good preparation is one of the best investments you can make.
