Career PathOur alumni treasure the four years they spent at SILS. Many testify that they gained not only skill to communicate in English but also a range of other crucial attributes and competencies, including the drive to understand and respect different cultures, the ability to listen to and reason with others, the ability to act upon one’s ideas autonomously, and the mindset to think outside of the box. Many of our alumni have pursued a career on the world stage. Some have continued their research in graduate schools around the world, while others have gone on to work in Japanese or multinational companies.

The truth is I was a student with average grades from elementary school to Junior High and had a GPA of 2.5 at university, which is not even close to the Dean’s list. In my view, in order to achieve your highest career goal, the 4 years you spend at university should be used to expand your horizons by developing a sense of curiosity and a set of skills rather than to aim at becoming an academic genius. Indeed, at SILS I chose elds of studies I was not familiar with, which led me to unexpected discoveries and enabled me to foster a challenging mindset for myself. At the same time, I did several internships thus improving my understanding of the work environment. Those experiences have not only allowed me to acquire a position in the company of my dreams, but have also given me some precious skills to adapt to a variety of situations. Because of the actual pandemic, I have not set foot in the ofce yet since my 1st day. But after 3 months of virtual training where I learned theories of “know how”, I am currently consulting more than 100 companies in various elds. Every day, I need to update my knowledge to cope with new situations, and without the physical presence of my team members it can get very challenging. However, I feel that the skills I acquired during my 4 years at SILS prepared me well to overcome this kind of challenge. The importance of exibility and adaptability is growing in this fast changing world. Thus, I would say that whatever the career you are aiming for, it is crucial to be curious of new things and accumulate different kinds of experiences.16
