ESL-actual audio sample, please click here to listen:
Bizmates is the no. 1 English Online School in Japan, outsourcing their business to Philippines and engaged working together for about 6 years with core values of professionalism, trust, engagement and commitment.
Working as a full time trainer to Japanese students demands connection and collaboration. Japanese people by nature are really shy type kind of individual, very polite and professional. I find them so amazing and awesome thus, helping them hone their business communication skills is not considered a job but a mission to care for them too. Creating and emerging consensus to build rapport with them are key factors to support and meet their needs.
Working for Bizmates is like having lots of opportunities to communicate with executives, businessmen & CEO's, know not only their culture and tradition but a chance to prove yourself worthy of the effort you share them. Respect, Recognition and Appreciation are three commendable things you can experience at Bizmates.
