In 2008, the second International CareerCross Forum will be held showcasing global companies, recruiters and business schools in one location at the same time.
 
 

Q1.What is the international CareerCross Forum?

 

This event is for bilinguals combining three aspects in one forum; career change, education (MBA and continuing education), and seminars from industry leaders.

 

The International CareerCross Forum goes beyond your average “career” or “job” forum. You will be able to meet with people from a huge range of companies: from big multinationals right down to smaller operations and global micro-brands. We will also have a selection of the very best recruiting companies among the many direct-hirers. Total participating companies would be 70, from foreign companies to global Japanese companies in Japan. You will equip yourself with a wide future vision in your career.
