Recruiting and Job-Hunting in Today’s Tough Times

Speaker: David Sweet, Ph.D.

Senior Manager at Specialized Group K.K.

It is vital for company survival, in today’s economic climate, to attract and hire the best human capital before your competitors do. Come and learn about current market trends—and best practices of top headhunters and executive search firms—in Japan and globally.

Changing careers is said to be one of the most stressful activities of one’s life—up there with marriage and moving. To land a good job is a daunting task that our livelihood depends on, involving several elements that we don’t practice often: writing resumes, job boards, recruiters, interviews, negotiating offers…
So this presentation will also cover:
* Networking
* Recruiters, job boards, social networks, and networking—how to use them all effectively
* Resume tips
* How to land an interview without a resume
* How to work the process
* Effective interviewing

Dr. Sweet has worked in the human resources field, in the private and government sectors, since 1989. He is a public speaker, trainer, and the author of the book “Recruit!” He is currently a Senior Manager at the executive search firm Specialized Group K.K.
