Nippon Recruitment

On Wednesday we had the pleasure of co-organizing the first edition of Japan Career Day Event in Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Nippon Recruitment team provided insights to students about the Japanese culture and business etiquette, as well as career opportunities. We had the chance to connect with students passionate about Japan and engage in very interesting conversations about future employment opportunities. We would like to extend our gratitude to Ms. Gagan Kaur and Ms. Maya A. for such a great collaboration! Many thanks to Mr. Julien Rikkoert for joining us and sharing his experiences, as well as advices for students! Looking forward to more opportunities to connect with students! #recruitment #careerconsultancy #students #japanesecompanies #japanesebusinessculture #futureemploymentopportunities #NipponRecruitment
