Global Tech Company, Creative Director

"Having lived in Europe for a long time, I had no information about the Japanese market and was worried. Through Robert Walters' consulting, I learned how valuable it is to have professional work experience and be bilingual in the market.

Robert Walters has strong connections with many global companies and introduced me to a variety of opportunities, which gave me the courage to apply to some of the largest companies that are difficult to get into overseas, and I am happy to say that I got the job."

Global Consulting Company, M&A Transaction

"I was born in Osaka, Japan and spent from the age of 8 until I graduated from college in California due to my parents' job relocation. While working in the U.S., I wanted to one day work in Japan, where my roots are. However, I was unsure about changing jobs, living conditions in Japan, and whether there were jobs where I could make the most of my career.

I consulted with Robert Walters, and they helped me to overcome my concerns about life in Japan and the job market. In the end, I was able to change jobs to a position where I could use my experience and further my career."
