First, can I work?

The answer is yes. However, not all international students can take part-time jobs, and exchange students and short-term language learners cannot take part-time jobs. Only students who have studied in regular full-time schools in Japan for one year or more can take part-time jobs.

Second, the provisions of the working hours

It is a very important and insurmountable rule that international students should not work more than 28 hours a week during their school days, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. If you don't go home during the winter and summer vacations, then international students can work full-time normally for one to two months without any problem.

Third, the provisions of the workplace

There are usually two kinds of campus work and campus work. There are jobs provided by schools, such as cleaning classrooms, tidying up libraries and supervising dormitory hygiene, but these methods get less returns. Off-campus jobs often include part-time jobs such as serving as waiters, distributing leaflets, and tutoring, which pay off quickly, and some work directly in companies or enterprises. There is also a kind of freelancing, which does not limit the place of work, such as translation and illustration. In short, it must be a formal and legal institution, and it is not allowed to enter and leave adult places and illegal places.

Fourth, how to find a part-time job?

1. Recruitment website

This is the quickest and most useful method. You can filter and communicate according to your own needs on the website, saving time. But you should pay attention to a lot of false information on the Internet, and you should identify the authenticity of the information yourself to avoid being deceived.

It's safer to ask friends around you. If it's recommended by friends, it means this job is not bad. If it is not good, friends will not recommend you.

1. What can international students do in Japan?

Mainly in various service industries, catering in shops and bakeries in izakaya and Lamian Noodles, sales in bookstores and convenience stores, and other different jobs such as cinemas, gymnasiums, translators and tour guides. There are many job opportunities for international students in Japan, which can meet your various job needs. The most common are convenience store clerks and catering clerks. On the one hand, there are many job opportunities, on the other hand, the requirements for employees are slightly lower. Because many foreign students who have just gone to Japan are not very good at Japanese, the job opportunities they can choose are limited. Again, Japanese is a very important thing in your study abroad life, so you must improve your Japanese ability. If your Japanese is not good, you can only do some dishes in the kitchen. Who knows, it's too tiring and cost-effective … what about Japanese? Not only the salary is high, but also the quality of the work content is high. Tour guides, translators and even teachers may enter the enterprise, so why not learn Japanese well?

2. How to find a job opportunity?

How to find a job is divided into two steps. The first step is to choose a job through what channels, and the second step is to choose a job by what criteria. International students who have just gone to Japan may not even know where they are, let alone let you find a job yourself, so it is very important to choose a job through what channels. The most convenient thing is the recommendation of seniors, and you can even skip the interview and join the job directly. However, it is important to ensure that the character of this senior is really reliable. Don't take seniors as your whole dependence, you must master all kinds of information in advance, and be careful when you go out. Hello, work, help magazines, and your international student center. These places will have various recruitment information from time to time. You can always pay attention to and screen your favorite job opportunities. Don't blindly listen to the temptation of high-paying job opportunities through various channels, and don't disclose your personal information easily. Protecting yourself is much more important than finding a good job.

3. What are the criteria for choosing a job?

The first is to look at your own preferences. If you want to exercise your communication skills, you can try a job as a shop assistant or a shopping guide. If you want to earn more money, choose a well-paid job (on the premise of Japanese ability).

Then pay attention to the working hours. Unless there are special circumstances, Haidanjun does not recommend working more than 28 hours a week, which is the working time limit for international students stipulated by the government. Not to mention being too tired, it is definitely not the result you want to see that your visa and your studies are affected, so you should control your working hours within 28 hours a week. And we should coordinate the time of work and class. After all, study is the most important thing, and it is definitely not worth the loss to delay study for work. Except holidays, holidays allow you to work 40 hours a week. If you really want to make money, then work hard during the holidays ~

Finally, stick to your bottom line, don't do illegal and immoral work, don't be tempted by high salary and take risks, and be a good teenager with a correct outlook on life.

4. Work mentality

It is not advisable to work for money. Since you are going to study in Japan, learning should be your top priority. Any family that has the ability to study in Japan will not let their children live without making their own money when they arrive in Japan. They choose jobs to make money, even to the point of despair, which is a very unhealthy mentality. Studying abroad should be academic-oriented. In order to exercise language, get in touch with society and learn culture, you can share the pressure for your family. But never put all the burdens on yourself. If a person's energy is limited, it is difficult to study hard if he works hard to make money. Moreover, money-oriented work often leads you into other people's routines, and if you do a profitable job, you may violate the legal or moral bottom line if you are not careful. If you want to earn money to support your family, don't study abroad. If you want to study abroad, don't put your work first.

Working part-time doesn't mean you really need that reward, but it is a good opportunity for you to get in touch with the society and exercise your viability as soon as possible. After all, you can't live on the help of your parents all your life, and you will be independent sooner or later. Part-time job is also a job, and passivity is not desirable. Part-time job is an opportunity to exercise your sense of responsibility. The sense of responsibility for work is also something you should learn in part-time jobs.
