Japan Society: Careers Officer

Hi! I am Nanami, studying Social sciences with Data science in year 1:) I am Japanese, lived in Japan for 17 years, and came to the UK for sixth form. I am currently sub-career officer of Japan soc, working diligently in the committee and career team.

1: What I would like to achieve ⇒ how I plan to accomplish it based on my experience of being sub career officer 

• Greater career opportunities and more helpful information, such as bringing you more up-to-date information about internships! 

     ⇒Building strong connections with recruiting agents and improving career Instagram page to be clearer and more approachable by everyone

• More career support for international students 

     ⇒Contacting recruiting agents who are looking for international students wanting to work in Japan

• Hosting more helpful career events 

     ⇒Organising events such as collab events with other universities about career forums, internships and 座談会

2: Why me?

• Many leadership experiences e.g. Japan soc sub-career officer, brass band leader, leading 100+ members, chorus competition judges' rep, and more in high school 
• High managing, planning, and execution abilities e.g. I proposed and organised the career 座談会 

      ⇒These skill sets would enable me to run events and communicate with recruiting agents smoothly 

I will strengthen the career community we currently have and provide you with the best career support during career search!

Hi, I’m Juri from Tokyo:)
I’m very excited to run for the Career officer position to provide you with an even larger variety of career opportunities!

To do this, I will:

1.    Provide career events in different fields
Not only in specific areas like consulting and audit accounting but also like talk events with professionals in other areas as well!

2.    More career opportunities for non-Japanese students
Both career opportunities and posts on visa information etc. as well!

3.    More on Japan-related companies in the UK
Organize events related to them online/on campus, for more insight into possible career opportunities!

4.    UCL-centred career events
Workshops for both Japanese and non-Japanese, like on “Shukatsu” (Applying process to work in Japan) and business Japanese by inviting guests, for example, with job offers in Japan

5.    Try my best to learn about UCL Japan society careers!
I am not part of the committee right now, so I’ll ask for advice to further improve Japan careers!

And of course, I’ll keep and possibly enhance the current amazing functions, like the informative WhatsApp group!

Why me?:

I have leadership experiences as a course representative (Current) and a peacebuilding lessons facilitator (High school/Yr 13)
I attended many career events this year, and I really want to keep it an amazing place!

I really really want to keep Japan careers to be an amazing place with improvements, so please vote for me!!!!
Thank you so much for reading it til the end!!!

Hi, I’m Ranko, a first-year PPE student.

I'm running for Careers Officer to enhance career-related events and information for both Japanese and non-Japanese students. My passion stems from genuinely enjoying learning about different companies and career paths at such events, which have helped me to get a clearer picture of my future career. With an additional Careers Officer next year, I think it's an ideal time for improvements, while maintaining the quality and content of our current work and events.

As a Careers Officer, I will:

• Create opportunities for JSOC students to explore a wider range of career options.
   
• Establish an online platform (e.g., Google Spreadsheet) for easy access to all the latest career information in one place.
   
• Expand career events for non-Japanese students by strengthening connections with agencies.

Why me?

• Strong Time Management skills to efficiently handle multiple tasks, events, and appointments with companies and agencies.
   
• Organizational and Leadership abilities to successfully develop and implement new initiatives I mentioned above.
   
• Having spent my entire life in Japan and engaged in various extracurricular activities involving collaboration with companies and local city officials, I can communicate effectively with people from companies and agencies in a professional manner.

Please VOTE for me for a valuable and exciting career event experience.
