You would do well to apply for jobs in Japan. Getting accepted in one will give you a culturally rich experience that is both educational and emotionally rewarding. Before you take the steps to submit your application however, there are some important questions you should want to know the answers for.
What kind of work is available?
Two of the most popular areas foreign applicants are most welcome in are education and the hospitality industry. English teachers in particular are highly compensated but depending on the school and position level you are applying for, you may need to present high academic records and instruction certifications. Work in bars and resorts have lower pays but the positions often demand fewer stiff personal qualifications.
Who may apply?
Anyone who wishes to work in Japan needs to apply for a working visa. This however is only really applicable for long term employment. For some individuals, the working holiday visa is more appropriate. This is a special document issued to individuals who are 18-30 years old and who live in Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Denmark, Germany, France, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea and Ireland. Applicants for this special arrangement are required to declare their plans primarily for a holiday. The chance to look for jobs in Japan is only a secondary benefit accorded to successful applicants.
How much is the pay?
This would obviously depend on where you work. For highly qualified English teachers in top private schools, a monthly salary of more than 200,000 yen is just about the standard rate. You do have to keep in mind though that this is the gross pay. You'd have to deduct your meal and accommodation expenses to arrive at your net take home pay. Resort workers are paid less at around 125,000 yen per month. Those who work in winter resorts however can still manage to save a lot because accommodations and meals are free.
What are the usual work hours?
The normal hours for work are between 8-5 in the morning. Bear in mind though that some jobs in Japan have peak weeks and months. Hotels and resorts for example often get many visitors in the months of July and August. Those working in the hospitality industry typically have to put in a lot of overtime hours. In some cases, shifts may totally encompass weekends on top of weekdays. This means working seven days a week for more than twelve hours a day.
What kind of cultural adjustment is expected?
The most outstanding quality of Japanese culture is the value placed on respect. You will have to treat everyone with deference from your peers to top management. In a lot of cases though, the kind of respect expected will depend on who you are talking to and who or what you are referring to. There are different levels of honorific titles and language that you would have to learn. In general, this is encompassed in Keigo or Japanese honorifics.
Applying for jobs in Japan and getting accepted in one is truly an enriching experience. Take note though that before you make the leap into this direction, you need to know exactly what you are getting yourself into.
