💡 Key Tips
- 💡Even as a new graduate, speak with numbers: Include specific figures from internships or part-time jobs, such as sales, improvement rates, or LTV, to demonstrate business acumen.
- 💡Use a format suitable for both Japanese and foreign companies: Keep bullet points concise and lead with conclusions. Structure your content using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to appeal to global firms.
- 💡Highlight financial and data literacy: For B2B sales, the ability to read client financial statements and calculate ROI is crucial. Mentioning bookkeeping or Excel skills can be a strong differentiator.
- 💡List SFA/CRM tool experience: New graduates familiar with tools like Salesforce or HubSpot are often seen as ready to contribute immediately, so be sure to include any internship experience with these platforms.
