The Whistleblower
A Japanese MNC has a whistle blowing policy under which employees can report incidents to prevent the occurrence of any corporate wrongdoing, in accordance with the article 301 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Employees can also prefer to stay anonymous, while reporting any violation or possible violation e.g. wrong accounting or audit practices, fraudulent sales or transactions etc.
An employee can report their concerns directly to the board of corporate auditors in Japan. Since the people sitting in Japan are not aware of exact conditions in the native country they forward such complaints back to the country MD to investigate and appraise them about the facts.
But rather than taking corrective actions on those highlighted violations, the local management targets employees whom they perceive who could have made such complaints.
You have come across a possible violation, would you still report?
What improvements would you suggest to avoid scapegoating?

Demonstrate the soft skills in your resume
It is important that while you write the resume, your soft skills stand out in your resume. Read through the job description carefully and cull out the skills which the employer is looking for. Ensure to demonstrate these skills in your resume through your work and projects. At times we have the skills but fail to bring it out in our resume. That is a mistake, we should avoid.
Hard skills are important for the job. But we are surprised that soft skills are equally and more important than hard skills. The key soft skills provide us an advantage over other candidates.
To succeed in any profession, it is necessary to have important soft skills. A doctor needs to have empathy and listening skills to deal with a patient. A manager needs to have people skills to manage and lead his or her team. A supply chain manager needs to be good at negotiations. Every role needs key soft skills, for a person to succeed in their profession.
