Heating Up: Job Hunting in Japan Starts Now
Hey international students, recent graduates, and other foreigners living in Japan!
It has been a long time since my last blog entry, so first I'd like to start by congratulating those whom have already received 内定(naitei) from their respective companies. Good work! For those of you whom are still looking, just keep at it (remember, you can always apply for a visa extension of up to 1 year after graduation for purposes of job hunting. See: 特定活動 Tokuteikatsudo） http://www.moj.go.jp/ONLINE/IMMIGRATION/ZAIRYU_HENKO/zairyu_henko10_21_10.html
Last Friday the end of the rainy season was officially declared in the Kansai region and ever since it's been day after day of beautiful clear blue skies and unrelenting heat. With 海の日 this Monday the beaches will officially open and the typical summer factors will be at play: festivals, bbq's, cicadas, 風鈴, watermelon, kakigori, beer gardens, sweaty backs and near harmonious grumbles of あつッ、あつッ、暑～い!
Of course some of the regulars will not. Cutbacks on fireworks shows and other annual displays of extravagance will likely be cancelled or drastically scaled down. With nationwide efforts to save energy in response to the March 11th disaster companies are turning down their air conditioning and promoting yet another vague (although this time around unarguably popular) summer fashion trend, "super cool biz". Say goodbye to neckties for the time being at least (wearing one almost guarantees nasty looks of disapproval as if you're not doing your part for 節電).
So, besides taking in the heat and hopefully a little matsuri-magic, it's also a good time of year to get a head start on job hunting. Although it may not seem like the best way to spend your summer months, 15-20 minutes each day can really go a long way to improving your job hunting experience. Plus, it's mostly cancer free (except for all the time you'll be using a computer...which is most likely all the time... never mind).
If you're in your third year of undergraduate education or in your first year of your masters program, here's a brief rundown of what you can start doing to get ahead.
■自己分析 (jiko bunseki) - Simply put, this is a kind of self-reflection/analysis. Think of this as an exercise that (if undertaken seriously) can improve your self-awareness and help you make better choices about the future. Starting your job search with jiko bunseki allows you think critically about what type of industry, field, or position you want to work in. It also allows you to re-evaluate your skills and experiences so that you can find a position that best suits your needs. It will also come in handy later on for 自己PR（jiko PR) when interviewing.
※Remember that in Japan it can be incredibly difficult to find another job after quiting your first company within the first year of employment.
When tackling questions about your personality, such as locating your strengths and weaknesses, it can sometimes be a difficult venture to undertake alone. Asking your friends, family, or significant other for honest feedback can be one of the most helpful approaches. Try to take it with a grain of salt and remember that we are often unable to see ourselves in an objective light.
There are, however, questions which only you yourself can answer. These tend to be experiential questions or questions concerning future goals. One simple approach is to make three sections: past, present, and future; and ask yourself the following questions:
●Past - What did you study in college? Which projects did you work hard on? What type of study did you enjoy/dislike? What obstacles did you face upon coming to Japan as an international student? How did you overcome them?
●Present - What is your sale point? How can you market your skills/achievements to the company?
●Future (goals/growth/achievements) - What type of person do you want to become from now on? (goal)
(What efforts will you make in order to improve upon your current weaknesses? What would you like to learn how to do that you are currently unable of doing? (growth) What type of titles, licenses or degrees, if any, do you want to obtain? How will you do it? (achievements)
■The next step is 業界研究 - (gyoukai kenkyu) industry research - i.e., an overall review of the various industries in the Japanese job market. Learning about the movements of companies within their industry, for example, which companies are pushing hardest to enter the market in X country, can help you decide which industry would best utilize your skills.
Try to reduce your job search to two or three different industries that you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in being a "bridge" between Japan and your home country, you may find that manufacturing or trading industries to have the most jobs for your field.
■After industry research, try to spend time researching which companies are within the industry of your interest. This is commonly referred to as 企業研究 - （kigyoukenkyu）company research. What are the top companies in that industry? Which are making moves in the global economy? Which companies are focused on hiring new employees from your home country? Researching these questions will help you get a better idea of which companies to follow.
If you are able to spend even a little time each day practicing these things, you'll be much more prepared and likely on the same page as your Japanese contemporaries when job hunting really heats up in October.
Enjoy the summer and try not to spend too much time indoors.
Good luck!
