What are the highlights of your experience? What types of companies
would you like to work for? What types of companies would find your
Japanese and Chinese language fluency especially attractive? Who are
your dream employers and why would they find you attractive? What
search strategies did you use with the job boards? I'll be able to
help you if you tell me more about your quest.
Cheers.

Hello stephenklo-ga,

You haven’t responded to my request for clarification to help me
understand better the specific kind of company, industry or job you
would prefer. I’ve collected a lot of generic resources to help you
get started. You should use these mainly to get yourself oriented to
the kinds of things that are available to help the job seeker.
Unfortunately, there are no short cuts – especially not in today’s
tough job market. It's hard work to find a job.

You can use some standard techniques that will greatly enhance the
probability of success in your job search.

First, complete your self-assessment to identify your skills, values,
interests, preferences and experience. Get very clear about who you
are, what kinds of places you want to work and why those companies
would find you interesting.

Second, explore what the world of work has to offer. Investigate the
industries and companies you’ve found interesting. Find out about
trends, movers and shakers, current developments in your field of
expertise. Educate yourself so you will be able to demonstrate your
understanding of the current business climate for your targeted
companies. Investigate what industries/companies would be especially
impressed with your bilingual skills.

Third, launch your job search campaign. Write your resume and develop
your elevator speech. Develop targeted lists of employers and talk to
everyone you know to get personal connections and a way to network
your way in to the hiring manager. Practice your interview skills.
Find a job search support group. Treat your job search as a job.

Wishing you success in your career.

czh

Thanks for your detailed answer, CZH. I'll look into the resources you listed.

By searching on www.jobpointer.com with a title of manager and
optional search words of japanese and product, it came up with 2
results :

1) www.google.com/jobs/index.html for the International Product
Manager position.
2) www.corionusa.com for the Sales & Marketing Manager position.

I have also checked that hotjobs.com and monster.com don't have these
two positions. You could probably find other similar jobs at
www.jobpointer.com if you vary the title and search words.
