I am currently in my 4th year of Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Yamaguchi University. I’ve been learning Japanese for about 3 years at Malaysia and further my study at Japan through twinning program at my University. It is just been 1 year since I entered Japan and I think it is still not enough for me to gain life experience in Japan. Because of that, I decided to start my career life in Japan as soon as I graduate. Hence, I tried every chance that I had using university recommendation and applied by myself countless times, but I failed to get an offer. Until then, I found out about Asia to Japan organization that assists international students in finding job in Japan. I thought that this might be a great chance and hence I applied for it.

At first, I was given a briefing regarding the organization and then I was assigned to a mentor to guide me for the interview session. Before proceeding to interview, I had to go through matching and screening process where the staff will recommend my profile to companies and got chosen by the companies for the next step. The process only took around 1 week to 2 weeks. After that, I went through mentoring session twice to get me ready for the interview which took around one week. I was given sample questions which some of them differs by company. I got to prepare for the answers for couple of days before practice in front of my mentor. Along the practice session, the mentor will point out things that can need to be improved and so on. The interviews mainly focus on the research done in university and the rest was the basic questions asked in interview. Then, I was informed by the staff for the interview dates. In my case, I had to go through interviews from five companies which was scheduled in a week. It was quite packed but I thought it was the best to settle it as fast as I can. I got to second interviews for three companies and finally got a job offer from one of the company named Tatsuno. I was very surprised and delighted when I was informed that I got a job offer because for me, it was a very long and tiring journey in finding a job. I never stopped from applying for companies and failed many times since the last two months.

Through ASIA to JAPAN, I was guided carefully in order to excel in job interviews. The staffs were very helpful and friendly. They are very precise in organizing our schedule and the management was satisfying. I agree that ASIA to JAPAN really helped me a lot throughout the job hunting.In my opinion, it was worth it to apply under ASIA to JAPAN as I was able to got a job offer in just a month even though it was packed and tiring.
