1. How to find a job for International Graduates in Japan
- Understand Japanese language and culture. You might check with your university to see if you can take language classes because many programs for international students offer them!
- Consider your guiding values. Jobs for fresh grads might still be quite competitive even though there are more open positions than there are applicants. As soon as you arrive, begin building a network of contacts if you wish to find employment in Japan.
- Prepare. Find out more guides on the different forms of references and how to create a CV.
- Befriend people! Knowing individuals is always beneficial, especially those who have lived in Japan for some time and are familiar with the culture. You will learn more about Japan and the job market as you immerse yourself more.
2. What are the requirements to work in Japan?
- Specifics of the position. As with any job, confirm that you possess the qualifications outlined in the job description.
- 4 year degree. In Japan, finding employment without a degree is extremely difficult but not impossible. A university degree, which corresponds to a four-year degree in the United States, is necessary for regular working visas.
- Language ability. For the majority of occupations in Japan, you'll require a high level of Japanese. Employers can verify your proficiency in Japanese with the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). There are five levels to the standardized test. The highest level is N1, and in order to find employment in Japan, you will typically need to pass N2. However, there are positions available in Japan for English speakers. Starting out as an English teacher offers a way in while you work to improve your own Japanese language skills. You can also brush up on your Japanese with further study before diving headfirst into your job search.
3. Japan market towards foreigners
A poll by information technology services company Zenken found that nearly half of Japanese businesses are interested in recruiting foreigners. 35% of the companies who responded claimed they were not interested in hiring foreign nationals, compared to 45.5% who said they were.
200 businesses participated in the survey, which was conducted between August 19 and 21. Of them, 42.5% employed fewer than 500 people, 15.5% had fewer than 1,000 employees, and 42% had more than 1,000.
When asked why they were interested in hiring foreign workers, 68.1% of the companies said it was to find talented staff.
The need for bilingual employees was mentioned by 46.2% of respondents as one cause, and labor shortages by 42.9%. About 30% of those surveyed said they wished to expand their commercial ventures or their international ties.
