Career Consultations
Looking for guidance as you navigate the next steps in your career journey?
Meet Takeshi Yamagishi, a dedicated career consultant whose life took a significant turn during his middle school days in Ishikawa-ken after a transformative encounter with a JET Program ALT at his school. Takeshi went onto become a JTE and worked with JET ALTs in the Japanese public school system. His career eventually changed course and he now works with Quick USA and lives in Dallas, TX with his family.
Inspired and impacted by his interactions with JET Program participants, Takeshi is on a mission to give back to the JET community by offering complimentary career support to JET alumni through USJETAA. (These consultations are intended for registered USJETAA members. Free & supporting memberships are available.) Takeshi has successfully supported many JET alumni to help them understand the various Japan-related job markets and industry landscapes, guiding them towards career opportunities that fit their interests. He also understands that most JETs have Japanese language and cultural competencies that are highly valued by Japanese companies.
USJETAA is proud to partner with Quick USA to help JETs identify the skills they learned on JET and apply those skills to their professional lives while staying connected to Japan. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity!
Testimonial:
“I had the pleasure of working with Takeshi Yamagishi during my job search, and I couldn't be more impressed with his friendliness, diligence, and dedication. I had wanted to use Japanese again at work but didn’t know how to approach looking for the appropriate position. Fortunately, Takeshi understood exactly how to apply my strengths and my experience in Japan to find an exciting position at a company where I am valued. I even moved across the country for this job! I highly recommend Takeshi to anyone seeking expert guidance in navigating the landscape of Japanese companies in the US job market.”
