Why is it so difficult to find a job related to Japanese?

Japanese companies that have been hit hard by the current economic crisis have reduced their business scope, "frozen" positions, and laid off employees. Under such circumstances, the demand for talents will definitely be temporarily lower than before.

But Japanese is easier to find a job in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially in Shanghai than in other areas. Any industry is possible, because the more than 7,000 Japanese companies settled in Shanghai still maintain relatively strong recruitment demand. If you speak well enough, it would be easier if you also have solid English. In addition, there is no need to worry about compound talents, such as Japanese + law, Japanese + computer, etc.

But in fact, you don’t have to go to a Japanese company to use Japanese.

According to statistics, the employment ratio of Japanese-speaking talents in various industries is: Japanese-funded enterprises account for 50%-60%; state agencies (including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, governments at all levels, customs, foreign economic and trade offices and trade promotion Associations, etc.) account for about 20%; university teachers and Japanese tour guides each account for about 10%.

From the perspective of talent supply, the supply of Japanese professional talents is obviously insufficient. Companies in need of Japanese language talents can be roughly divided into four categories by industry: first, industrial system companies; second, international trade companies; third, information technology companies; and fourth, modern service-oriented companies.

However, although it is easier to develop at the beginning, it is more difficult to reach senior management and above. Japanese companies do not trust the Chinese, especially they will not let the Chinese manage the Japanese.

In short, you still have to submit your resume. According to statistics from recruitment websites, it takes an average of 20 resumes to get one interview opportunity. Now is a special period, and the probability will be correspondingly smaller.

So don’t give up and keep trying!
