    Resume Workshops
    A resume is an opportunity for you to present your backgrounds and qualifications in the best way. Your resume is the statement of yourself. Many students think that writing resume is easy and it takes less than an hour. However, it takes lots of efforts to write a good effective resume. In these workshops, you will learn what an effective resume looks like, and after the workshops, you will know how to make your resume better.


    Japanese-style mock interview (Both Japanese and English)
    Nobody can be a great interviewee without practice. In order to give a good impression of you to interviewers, you need lots of practices and preparation. In the mock interview, you meet 2-3 experienced interviewers from various career backgrounds, and you would be asked about various kinds of questions. Therefore, self-analysis in advance is strongly recommended before this interview.


    Major counseling
    To schedule classes is important for all students. Also, it is essential for an academic success to find well-organized classes. We will survey a class evaluation and discuss this data at the time of registration. Most counselors are senior standing students in various majors. Therefore, this is a good opportunities for new students to find peers in the same major.
