Voices of our Alumni 9 ~My Job-hunting Experiences in Japan~

Master’s Degree Program Graduated in March 2021
Job offers: Construction Companies

A. Reasons for Working in Japan

I like Japanese culture and want to take more time to integrate into this society. On the other hand, there are more suitable working environment for me in Japan.

B. Your Job-Hunting Period

My Job -Hunting period was June 2019 to March 2020.I am very eager to work in Japan, so I have started job-hunting very early. I also recommend everyone to start job-hunting as early as possible. Because, we need to gather a lot of relevant intelligence by some internships.

C. Industries & Corporations Approached

The industries and corporations I have approached were construction companies.

D. Methods of Job-Hunting

My methods of job-hunting were ‘Searching’, ‘Asking’, and ‘Joining’.

‘Searching’: I have gathered most information by searching on the internet, such as google , yahoo japan.

‘Asking’: Although I have got most information about industries and corporations which I interested in, I have asked my senpai and professor at same time. I think their advises would be more helpful and accurate for me.

‘Joining’: I have joined 4 internships and many explanation meetings by myself to make sure which company is best for me.

E. Challenges Faced

The most difficult thing for me was preparing for interviews. I have had to write so many sentences before interviews and had to speak fluently during interviews. Of course, I have had to understand what interviewers said and what they want to hear.

F. Importance of Japanese Language

It is very important for people who want to get a job in japan.

G. Message to Potential Jobseekers

Attitude is everything. You need to show your passion for everyone you will meet during internship, included OB and OG.
