Therefore, looking at companies with HQ in your home country that have activities or a subsidiary in Japan might be a good idea. And sometimes, the best way to finding a job in Japan might not always be the direct path. I think that it can be beneficial to start working at a company in your home country and stating your desire to move to Japan. After have gained experience, it can often times be possible to move to the Japanese subsidiary.

Then I started to join the Daytime Intensive Program, but due to COVID-19, it was challenging that the teaching and learning style were changed, but I got along with it.
Unfortunately, my current work environment primarily requires German and English, so I have limited opportunities to use Japanese in the office. Nevertheless, I am committed to continuing my Japanese studies and am currently enrolled in the Evening/Saturday Program.
My employer is a Japanese enterprise. As a foreigner, I got to speak English in the interview. Some of the interviewers are Japanese who can also speak English, but I tried to speak Japanese. I didn’t speak perfectly, but they were very impressed. Once I got an offer, the recruiter told me that among all candidates with similar skill sets and experience, I was one of the only few who can speak Japanese, and that made a difference and turned out to be a big plus!
Thanks to Nichibei’s solid training, I proved to the company that I have certain level of understanding in Japanese culture and I am ready to start a new life in Japan!
If you are also considering coming to Japan, starting off as a language student is not a bad idea, and that’s what I did in year 2020. I got to stay in Tokyo for a while and see if I really like the lifestyle here, and more importantly, I got to build the connections.
Nichibei offers various courses with different duration, so you can pick one that suits you needs. If you are in Japan, I would recommend you take the advantage. Nichibei offers a free trial to sit in on one class. If you are outside of Japan, there is an option to attend live classes online. I am now a return student for part-time courses, and one of my classmates is attending the classes from Dubai!
Not only because it is a school with a long history, but also because I was surprised by the warmth of the people in the office and the teachers who helped me when I first applied to Nichibei. This experience convinced me that I would have a productive and enjoyable time at Nichibei. And I decided to enroll.
I am thrilled to say that my Japanese language skills have given me an advantage in business negotiations with Japanese people I work with than with my non-Japanese colleagues because of the language skills I have honed. I am now able to speak fluently and confidently, expressing my real intention while considering the relationship with the other party.
