October 2010 Archives

If you search on YouTube, there are a lot of videos made by foreigners living in Japan about how to get a job here.
For some of you the contents of these videos might be rather funny than useful but we thought it might be interesting to see what job seekers actually think since they experience the process of finding a job in Japan first-hand.











This one below looks funny at first but it's actually quite useful. A must-see video before you take an interview!

Now that summer holidays are over and it's time to get serious about finding a job (many people start to look for a new job in spring and autumn), we will introduce upcoming job fairs for foreigners or bilingual Japanese.
Even if there isn't a particular job or position listed in which you are interested, it can be beneficial to join such job fairs in order to get some ideas about the current Japanese job market or about what skills you need to apply for a job.
Here is a list of upcoming job fairs that will take place in Tokyo or Osaka.
