Rirekisho should be 2 pages long and should include your photo. The Japanese handwrite their resumes, so make sure you write one by hand and bring it with you for an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the cover letters &#8211; it is very common to start with \u201cMy name is\u201d followed by the position you are applying for. The second paragraph should include reasons why you are leaving your current job and in most cases, this information is a must. You also need to underline exactly why you are applying for the job and what you will be able to bring to it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign it off with a commonly used Japanese phrase \u201csorry to bother you when you are so busy and thank you for consideration.\u201c <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interview and Unwritten Rules&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Japanese stick to teikeiteki na apur\u014dchi, (formulaic approach). You will be asked about your background, why you want to work for this company and about your strengths and weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When talking about your weaknesses make sure you only mention those that are not relevant for this specific job. If you\u2019re applying as a chef, say your weakness is public speaking.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to know that you are being tested from the moment you enter the lobby or the waiting room. DO NOT play on your phone while waiting. Never sit down until you made your greetings. Don\u2019t offer a handshake first \u2013 bow. Handshakes are ok only if the interviewer offers you one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When given a business card take a good look at names and positions and then place them in front of you. Do Not put them in your bag or pocket or you will be considered disrespectful.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always add an honorific to the interviewer&#8217;s name, make sure you call them name plus \u2013 San. San can be translated as Mr. or Mrs. and using the suffix after a person\u2019s name is fundamental to proficient and appropriate speech. If you do not use San you will be considered clumsy and arrogant. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"russia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russia<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int3.jpg\" alt=\"clock and notebook on table\" class=\"wp-image-523 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int3.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int3-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int3-260x173.jpg 260w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1050px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1050\/700;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CV and Cover letters&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Russia, you will have to make sure your CV is typed and not handwritten. It can be over one page but should fit in two A4 pages, no more. They like it when you can provide as many details as you can. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Job descriptions for Russian CV\u2019s should not be vague or too descriptive. Don\u2019t make them guess, say it as clear as you possibly can! As for cover letters, make sure you don\u2019t repeat your CV. Do not brag or plead \u2013 some might say it shows enthusiasm to say it is your dream job and you promise to work hard, but in Russia, this isn\u2019t acceptable. Being original and bringing your personality into your application isn&#8217;t seen as positive. So, be as direct and as relevant as you can.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interview and Unwritten Rules <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will typically have at least two interviews, one with the HR manager and the second one with your future supervisor. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to bring photocopies of all supporting documents, references, certificates, awards, previous job descriptions, and an extra copy of your CV to every interview. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked about your weaknesses, discuss them in terms of how you plan to improve them and how this job can help you to excel. Make sure they know that you not only acknowledge your weaknesses but have a strong, detailed plan on how to turn your weaknesses into strengths.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russians consider over friendliness and smile fake, so don\u2019t expect them to be super friendly but remember this doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t like you so don\u2019t let it get to you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be asked what your star sign is, as they believe your star sign can reflect your character. Yep, you read this right, so it might be a good idea to take a look into at the details attached to your star sign. As an example, I am a Taurus, reliable, practical and ambitious.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"france\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">France<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"701\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int-2.jpg\" alt=\"man's hands writing on a paper\" class=\"wp-image-521 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int-2.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int-2-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int-2-960x641.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/int-2-260x174.jpg 260w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1050px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1050\/701;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CV and Cover letters&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s ok if your CV is longer than one page, however, only if it\u2019s because it\u2019s beautifully designed and well structured. Keep the information brief and to the point. Structure your cover letter professionally and make sure it has a professional layout and only contains information relevant to the job.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Madame and Monsieur and Vous instead of Tu.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interview and unspoken Rules <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above rule goes for the interview too. Always stick to formal Vous and avoid chit-chat. In some western cultures it is ok to break the ice, but not in France. No one wants to talk about their weekend plans or weather \u2013 you are here to discuss your job! However, be prepared, they might ask personal questions like your marital status or if you have any children. Even though you keep hearing that everyone in France kisses when they greet, do not try to kiss your interviewers. A firm handshake always gives a better impression. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">France is known for its many free smoking areas and people being relaxed about smoking. But, make sure you don\u2019t have your last cigarette before stepping into the interview room, that is not at all welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"usa\">USA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1092\" height=\"689\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/int-1.jpg\" alt=\"handshake over a table with laptops\" class=\"wp-image-13064 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1092px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1092\/689;width:760px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/int-1.jpg 1092w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/int-1-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/int-1-1024x646.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/int-1-768x485.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1092px) 100vw, 1092px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CV and Cover letters&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your CV should be one page but include all the relevant information. Make sure you include \u201cemployer-centric\u201d career objectives, outlining how it will benefit them to hire you and what aspects you will bring to the position. Always focus on results, numbers, and make sure you lead with action words like grew, built, increased, led. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t talk in generalities, be specific. Have examples and always make sure you keep bringing it back to the important information. Also, unlike in Europe, you don\u2019t need to include information on your secondary education.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interview and unspoken rules&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introduce yourself while shaking their hand. Make sure your handshake is not too strong and aggressive, but not too soft either. Body language accounts for a lot in America. Make sure you don\u2019t slouch; don\u2019t fold your arms across the chest as this can be considered as a form of passive aggression; and do not sneak glances at your phone or watch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you respect their personal space and always maintain a comfortable distance between you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Definitely ask questions, but don\u2019t monopolise the conversation. Make sure you answer all of their questions but don\u2019t talk too much. Always be positive and make sure you get through the message that employing you will be valuable for the employers. That you can bring money and success to their company.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Where ever you relocate to, serviced accommodation is the best option for housing while you settle into your new location.
