  1. Selecting Universities in Japan


There are several universities in Japan. And a lot of students wish to apply to study in these universities.


But many are unaware of Japan government sponsored programs in under-graduation, post grad and PhD categories.


Plus the common concern for students who have no Japanese education is finding out Universities where English medium courses are available.


The other concern is the cost. Indians want the best in less cost.

These and various other concerns trouble and affect proper decision-making.


  1. Education in Japan


This question is an oft asked question from my connections in LI and elsewhere.


I offer this consultation as a way of helping Indian students get all information they need. The service is quite basic to begin with but I will update and populate it with all relevant information in due course.


Services include:


  1. Course most favoured in Japan by Indian students.
  2. Guidance about courses you wish to take up, it feasibility in terms of fees etc.
  3. Universities with affordable courses
  4. Selecting an university to study in Japan


  1. Preparing For Japanese Interviews


If there is something which scares people, its the Japanese interviews.


Japanese interviews are no difficult as many assume. Just a bit of informed preparation helps ace the interviews.


But it is essential to prepare for these interviews as lack of preparation means a gateway to failure.


Interviews can be tricky as a lot of communication happens non-verbally.


Therefore, in this session I would highlight what aspects are essential to succeed in Japanese interviews.


It has relation to cultural understanding, dress code, communication styles, resume preparation and finally the about the interviews.


  1. Writing Jiko Shoukai in cover letters.

Among those writing Japanese cover letters for Jobs in Japan, the Jiko Shoukai part is a quintessential part. It has to be written in simple and lucid Japanese and follow rules of a written Jiko shoukai which is different from spoken Jiko Shoukai.


In this session, I will explain about writing Jiko Shoukai which would be effective and attractive.


It will help you get the right attention and land a job in Japan.


A jiko shoukai starts with highlighting The professional qualifications, your motivation to apply for the job, your professional strengths which set you apart, what other personal characteristics would you highlight to make you an attractive choice.
