This special two-part series brings you an in-depth guide on how to build a successful career in Japan as a foreigner. In this episode, we sit down with Sreekumar, an expert who has vast experience and insights into navigating Japan’s job market for international professionals.
In this part, we dive deep into different routes you can take to get started in Japan, from enrolling in Japanese universities and language schools to directly applying for jobs. Sreekumar highlights how both pathways can open up career opportunities, explaining the advantages of each. University programs in Japan offer a blend of scholarships, such as the popular MEXT, and post-graduation work visas, while language schools give students a solid foundation in Japanese proficiency, increasing their job prospects.
Navigating the job market in Japan can seem daunting, so Sreekumar offers insights into how to make this transition smoother by focusing on key areas like Japanese language proficiency, networking, and the importance of industry-relevant qualifications. For those concerned about language barriers, he shares which sectors, like IT, engineering, and academia, have the most openings for English-speaking professionals, emphasizing that basic Japanese conversational skills are still helpful for daily interactions and broader job opportunities.
We also discuss practical advice on building a strong job application strategy, from online job portals and recruitment agencies to leveraging networking sites like LinkedIn to connect with recruiters and professionals in Japan. Sreekumar elaborates on the type of work visas available, such as the Specialist in Humanities/Engineering/International Services visa and the Highly Skilled Professional visa, along with helpful timelines and preparation tips for securing a visa in advance.
Thank you very much, @skumarba!
