The Ultimate One-Day Career Seminar

The Ultimate One-Day Career Seminar

Introduction

Double Feature on July 31st (Saturday):
Ken Koike  Morning session: Get Your Job Now! - How to Find a Job with a Foreign Company
Ken Cogger Afternoon session: Working with Global Companies: How to Survive and Thrive

To succeed in an interview you must be 100% prepared and ready to prove you are the best candidate for the job; to start a job at a foreign company without understanding how to effectively work and communicate in a foreign office setting will sabotage your own chances for success.

For the first time in our history of holding the very popular Ultimate One-Day Career Seminar, we will be employing the exceptional talents of two individuals to cover both topics from an external and internal perspective. Ken Koike, a man who has experienced gainful employment at major multinational companies, and is currently a successful country manager will be covering the morning session: Get your Job Now! How to Find a Job at a Foreign Company. And Ken Cogger, a global talent manager with unparalleled expertise in talent acquisition and employee satisfaction will cover the internal aspect: Working with Global Companies - How to Survive and Thrive.

“Get Your Job Now!”, the popular and successful seminar on interview skills on how to get a job at a foreign company will be held in the morning on July 31st AND “Working with Global Companies - How to Survive and Thrive” will be held in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, you will learn the inside tips to get off to a good start and impress your boss (and, more importantly, what you must not do). You will leave this seminar knowing how to work well with a foreign boss, communicate effectively, and thrive in the foreign office setting.
