What is currently required for SMK

SMK Co., Ltd. has been dedicated to superior technology and development ability since its founding in 1925. We have earned deep trust from our customers, clients, and partners over our decades of operation. However, conventional ways of thinking are no longer sufficient to respond to the tumultuous times of today’s dynamic global market.
No matter its state, the market is always in flux in every sector, but this also creates a range of opportunities. We believe that our ability to respond to a changing market and turn challenges into possibilities is of prime importance to SMK today.

Expectations for applicants

We expect those wishing to work with SMK to set their own goals and to work toward and achieve these goals, in addition to contributing to the growth of the company through their work. Rather than simply doing what one is told to do, employees must assume the challenge of achieving their goals in a creative manner, without fear of departing from the ways things have been done in the past, based on their own awareness of the issues.
In addition, despite the importance of an international sensibility, we believe people can develop true international perspectives only if they have an understanding of their own cultures; this allows them to express themselves in other cultures, too. Thinking about things from a broad global perspective is likely to become increasingly important, not just for work but in personal life.

We are awaiting person who can realize ‘three Cs and one A’ !!

We want everyone to remember the ‘three Cs and one A’ Change, Challenge, Collaborate, and Anticipate.
To ‘change’ means to be ready and willing to adapt to the market.
To ‘challenge’ means to set high goals for yourself and not to be scared of failure.
To ‘collaborate’ means to work with all your colleagues going forward.
Finally, to ‘anticipate’ means to be able to hypothesize and foresee developments that are around the corner. Developments must be foreseen, and action taken, otherwise you will be always playing catch-up, which is very inefficient. If a prediction or hypothesis proves to be wrong, lessons can be learned from it.

Our aim is to make a company in which all our employees realize their dreams. The whole world is SMK’s field of business. Let’s make your dreams come true together with us.
