Instructor

Instructor	Masaaki Sakamoto
Message from the instructor	There are two key points to consider when making a proposal to a client company: analyzing the client and analyzing yourself. By analyzing the client company's strategy and making a proposal that can contribute to that strategy, the likelihood of it being accepted will increase significantly. Furthermore, if you can make a proposal that leverages your company's strengths, you can gain a competitive advantage over other companies. This applies to job hunting as well. You should analyze the strategies of the companies you want to work for and persuade them of how you can contribute with your strengths. Job hunting is not a place to express your hopes and desires, but a place to convey to the company how you can be useful. I hope you will make use of your seminar activities in your job hunting.

Voices of seminar students

He's a smart and cool teacher, someone I'm proud of. He can't always keep up with youth culture, but that's part of his charm and makes him endearing.
Not only do they provide snacks in the seminar room, but they also bought beanbag chairs and hair irons. The students are able to study in a relaxed environment.
