How to Find Japan Jobs


Have you ever have a dream to live and work in Japan? Do you love Japanese culture and want to totally immerse yourself in it? There are many reasons why one would love to live in Japan. Yet unless you are wealthy, you're going to need some form of income for housing, food, clothing, transportation, entertainment, etc. while you're there. Whatever the reason you choose to make your move to Japan, one thing is certain, you will need to find employment at some time. This article will guide you in how to find Japan jobs.

There are thousands of expats living and working in Japan, and you could join the ranks. Yet before you start your search for Japan jobs, there are a few requirements that you should be aware of. To work legally in Japan you must have a valid visa which permits work. To be eligible for a "Work Visa", Japan's immigration laws state that you must have a bachelor degree. To obtain this visa, you need to have a company sponsor you so you can get a "Certificate Of Eligibility", and only then are you able to apply for the Visa.

Another alternative which is proving very popular these days is the Japanese Working Holiday Visa (not applicable in all countries), as you are not required to hold a Bachelor's degree to get this Visa. Obtaining a Working Holiday Visa is relatively straightforward. One must apply in their home country, and the process takes up to 3 weeks.

When you begin your search for Japan jobs, you will see that there are numerous fields to choose from. There are tons of ways to find Japan jobs. If you have friends or family already living in Japan, you can always ask them to keep an eye out for companies that are hiring. If you are already living in Japan, you can talk to people that you may come in contact with, such as in a bar, the street, or hotel staff, and it never hurts to personally walk into businesses or approach those in outdoor markets to see if they are hiring. Also you could pick up a copy of the Japan Times, the Monday edition; the Help Wanted section ads are primarily aimed at foreigners, and runs about 5-6 pages long.

If you don't have the above options available to you, or you simply want to maximize your efforts in finding Japan jobs, the absolute best way to search is online. There are so many resources available that if you are determined, you should find a job in no time. One possible website is Gaijinpot.com, which is a free job seeker site for those who wish to work in Japan. There are even forums to share tips, get advice, and just enjoy a relaxed environment for like-minded individuals. Japanese.com is another good site for those who are bilingual in English and Japanese. For highly-qualified professionals looking to work for Fortune 500 companies in Tokyo, aecjapan.com is a must. For those who want to teach ESL in Japan, jetprogramme.org is another good resource.

So as you can see, whether you currently live in Japan or not, finding Japan jobs are easy if you know where to look.
