I would like to ask you to throw the idea of
Please tell us why you wanted to work for a company and what kind of work you want to do at that company.
There are two main reasons I applied to this job. Firstly, I felt I could use the most of my knowledge. Secondly, I genuinely found attractive that I could work on a specialty of Japan. About the work that I am going to do, I will be managing the company’s exportation to EU. Exchanging mails with clients, going to trade fair and business trips with my boss.
What do you think is the most important thing when job hunting in Japan?
If you plan on job hunting in Japan, I would recommend to start it as soon as getting in Japan. I don’t think spending too much time in one go is good, so I would say to do it little by little over a long period of time. By doing it over the course of for example 6 months, you shouldn’t worn out yourself out too much and have some flexibility. Deciding on your job after acquiring knowledge on japanese companies, and knowing what is best for you will surely lead you to a successful job hunt.
Message to those with a dream of "I want to work in Japan"
The thing I would like to tell everyone comming for job hunting in Japan is not to try doing it « perfectly » as a Japanese person would does, but to do it as yourself with your own traits. I would also like to ask you to throw the idea of « If I can work in Japan anything is fine ». I myself was thinking this way and I think it really showed up on me when I was taking interviews for job I wasn’t interested in. Having your conditions and hopes are, I think, a really important thing.
