Hi, also Indonesian here! Just got a job in Tokyo after 6 months school. However the work culture is so different here from Indonesia😌

[@holaitsmaria]

hii Debi! Woaah, how's that experience going? Indeed, the working culture is such a contrast, right! Goodluck in Tokyo~~

[@Thelegend-wp3ew]

[@holaitsmaria]

Japanese smiles thankyou!! stay tuned for my next video about living cost in japan😁

[@Yg-te4ig]

Well done to you.

[@arisatosora6916]

thank you for the wonderful video, fellow Indonesian here, I am also trying to find a job in Osaka and I graduated from hospitality major too but I don't know how to do it, I can speak basic Japanese and read hiragana & katakana but I wonder if I can go without parents permission if I am on my 20s

[@holaitsmaria]

Try applying for now, Arisato?☺️ the thing is the situation with the pandemic is definitely slowing all recruitment process, especially in the hospitality industry:( goodluck!

Hi Maria! A fellow Indonesian here, I want to say thank you so much for this video! It's so helpful and informative that I may have to rewatch it again to make sure I don't miss anything, haha. Would love to see more of your videos! A new subscriber here :) I'm curious to how exactly do you email them for job application? Is it because they don't use LinkedIn often that there's high chance to get a reply through email instead of LinkedIn?

[@holaitsmaria]

hi there, Celine! ahh I'm so happy to be able to share some experience, I hope you'll get something in Japan super soon! so far, LinkedIn is not widely used in Japan (in the hospitality sector), I can't say all company but they use email more often😆

[@celine6004]

​@@holaitsmaria Thanks, I hope so too! In the email, do we have to send a cover letter in English or 'Rirekisho'? Also, I've visited GaijinPot, it's a great website but it doesn't provide much of job offers other than the education/teaching industry. As for DaiJob, there's much more job offers and even scout service?! If you know what scout service that DaiJob provide, do you mind explain it? Is it similar like having LinkedIn but this is Japan-based? And TalentIndonesia is about applying for visa if we got a job offer already from Japan is it?

[@Ali_delightful]

I feel like I'm a good candidate to Japanese companies. I've even been given a japanese scholarship to study in Japan and I did back in '14. I can't decide where I fit or where to apply. I have an arts degree and my dream is to intern with fashion companies or within a study abroad office there.

[@holaitsmaria]

have you ever sent some CVs to companies in Japan? There are some multinationals companies too in the big cities:)) good luck on the search, Ali!!

[@Ali_delightful]

@@holaitsmaria Aw, thank you Maria! It's been a while but once Covid becomes a bit better I'm considering trying once more.

[@holaitsmaria]

@@Ali_delightful yes yes! How’s the search going so far?😍

[@anthonykirby7427]

Under that shiny veneer of a modern, civilized, advanced society Japan can be brutal to foreigners. A small minority of Japanese still live with a middle-age mentality. The Japanese penal system seems stuck in the 18th century. Incarcerated people, both Japanese as well as foreign nationals are treated not much better than animals. They are fed with poor foods discarded by supermarkets. They often sleep on bare floor with not much more than a thin cover as a blanket. Foreign nationals staying in Japan, for whatever reason, should never commit any kind of crimes, even minor ones, for example overstaying their visa, drunken in public, traffic infractions etc. Once they are caught up in the Japanese legal system they may never see the end of it. In detention, prisoners don't have any way to access what is common in the West such as legal assistance, visits from family and consulate, decent foods etc. Although Japan needs foreign workers, it is not easy to get a work permit. Foreign workers are paid much less than their Japanese counterparts. They are usually assigned to the hardest kind of labour work. They live in run-down dormitories with nothing more than a bed and communal amenities. The lack of language skills brings isolation and loneliness; combined with long hours in the factories, poor living conditions, little social interaction eventually get to these unfortunate foreign workers. Suicide is rampant in the foreign worker community. Think twice before taking the plunge to venture to Japan to live and work. The whole idea of going to Japan to teach English and come back with a sizable fortune in your pocket to start a new life back home could simply be a pipe dream, as it often turns out to be.

how to get jobs in Japan from Indonesia universities??

[@holaitsmaria]

it works the same!! but keep in mind having a Japanese language certificate is highly recommended:)

[@Shin-hc6ne]

Do you think having a business and administration degree is good to find a job in japan or difficult? I am thinking of what degree is best to find a job in japan. What do you think and what would you advise me?

[@holaitsmaria]

It won’t be difficult if you have the standardized Japanese language certification:) check out the 14 industries mentioned in the video, they are in working shortage on those. But definitely the medical/care worker (for elderly) industry is highly demanded☺️

[@Shin-hc6ne]

Maria Francisca oh ty for the reply! ☺️ But you need to do an internship right? My university wouldn’t be able to offer directly one in japan. Would finding one on my own after graduating be easy? Would that be enough?

[@holaitsmaria]

@@Shin-hc6ne happy to help!! you can go for an internship if your school demands one. You don't have to apply through your university, so no worries, try to check the websites I link above, maybe some position might interest you. As I did, finding one after graduation was a huge challenge since I didn't speak any Japanese before (I'm learning now:)) But if you have Japanese as language skill, would've been waaay easier:)

[@Shin-hc6ne]

Maria Francisca So a degree in business management / administration is good enough to find work in japan? How was your experience? I still have a little bit of time to decide on my degree so i am confused on which one would help more. Of course i will study japanese by myself while i finish my degree! Thanks a lot for the help!

[@holaitsmaria]

@@Shin-hc6ne well it can be a great opportunity since tourism in Japan was supposed to grow (despite the current situation). You can even start learning Japanese through online platforms too (though can be harder!). Do you have a specific city you wanna be in Japan?

[@baihunshishashylla4541]

You are from which country

[@holaitsmaria]

I am from Indonesia😊nice to meet you!

[@NekiPark]

Hello Maria I’m from India 😊 I wanted to know if there are internships or management trainee programs in Japan.😊

[@holaitsmaria]

oh hii there NekiPark! it depends on which industry you're applying for, sending the companies an email is so much more advisable though! Good luck:)

[@NekiPark]

@@holaitsmaria thanks😊

[@AndresFnt]

I cannot understand why you would apply to work in Japan despite not being fluent in Japanese....I'm sure you had your reasons but....Thats not ideal to say the least....Made it harder on yourself for sure by doing that.
