Rakuten, Inc. is holding an info session on Tuesday, November 4th (next Tuesday!) in TC2218(A&B) from 5-6 pm. They are recruiting both undergrad and Masters students for post-graduation employment. The company is located in Tokyo, Japan, and they are hiring for positions located at head office, so if you're interested in working in Japan, come out and take a look!
------------------------------------- Information about the company: Rakuten, Inc. calls themselves an "online real-estate company". Their main business operation, Rakuten Ichiba, is similar in nature to Amazon's online shopping business. In addition, Rakuten has many other business ventures, including a travel site (focused on intra-Japan travel) and financial ventures, as well as owning subsidiaries such as the Canadian e-book company Kobo Inc., located in Toronto.
Rakuten is one of the most internationally-facing companies in Japan, priding themselves on the fact that the company's main language of business is English, rather than Japanese, and they are both actively recruiting English speakers as well as actively trying to increase the English proficiency of their Japanese employees. ----------------------------------------
