Sébastien Ladrat Sandot

My name is Sebastien Ladrat Sandot.

I'm originally from a small city in the south west of France, Royan.

I'm graduated from the EDHEC Business School and from the Japan Amarican Institute of Management Science, which I joined during an academic exchange programm.

During my study, I had an intern experience of a total of 22 months: I joined Quiksilver Europe and worked there in the Financial and Accounting Department (3 months / my main tasks were setting up Sarbanes Oxley matrix and accountant job) and then in the Operations Department (3 months / I was in charge of an audit about the reprocessing process). Then, I worked for Mazars as an assistant during a total of 9 months : I took part to the Eventually, I set up with a friend a temporary work agency in Bordeaux. I had to do a market research, to find the right place in Bordeaux, to recruit our salaries, to do the sales job (fnding positions for our temps and dealing with the customer relationship management). After working 7 months, we reached the break even point.

I have been working for Mazars from September 2008 until June 2010. Since september 2009, I was in charge of teams and of the functioning of the audit missions (senior), reporting directly to the managers and partners.

I’m now looking for my next career step: I want to give an international dimension to my career. That’s why I’m looking for a position abroad, particularly in an English spoken country or in Japan. Actually, after spending 5 months in the US, I want to keep on improving my English to be able to work in a international environment. Concerning Japan, I met a lot of Asian people during my stay in Hawaii, and I feel very close to the Japanese culture. I’ve been 3 times to Tokyo last year, and for several months, I’ve been looking for opportunities to work there or/and develop my Japanese skills.

As interests, I love doing sport. I practice regularly squash, volley ball, surfing and jogging. It allows me to feel balanced and healthy.
I also like reading books of Russian authors (end of 19th and early 20th century such as Boulgakov, Andreev, Soljenitsyne, Dostoïevski…) and Japanese novelists (especially Mishima).
