Finding a Job in Japan (prepared by Alumnus Masatsugu Fujinaka)

Finding a job is one of the hardest thing that Japanese students (or any international students) at QUT encounters before graduation.

The only way to find a job in Japan is to search on the internet before graduation and organise for interviews during holidays. There are web sites containing exclusive information of job listings, how-to and job seminars being held in Japan.

I am really hoping the information below will help you to get the job you want. 

Here are a few notes. 

1.  Start looking for a job
Don't start looking for a job after your graduation. It is too late (well, but that's what I did). It is advised to start finding a job about two semesters before your graduation. So you can go back to Japan during your holiday's to have interviews. 

2.  Attending job fairs in Japan
Go back to Japan during holiday's to attend job fairs. Go back even if you are not having any job interviews, and don't forget to have your resume with you when you go to the job fairs. You will have some interviews at the fairs (don't worry, you will get interviewed at least once). There are some techniques for job interview (you know, how to talk, act and such 'n such). From my personal experience, you don't need such technique. Just be yourself and speak spontaneously. Don't forget to wear suit!
