How to find a part-time job for international students in Japan

It is very common to study abroad and do part-time jobs in Japan. When preparing, you don't need to worry too much about your application, so it's easy to find a suitable job. Let's take a look at the guide to studying in Japan. How do international students find part-time jobs in Japan?

Matters needing attention

Employment contract (Japanese companies don't pay much attention to this, but it's better to ask the boss to write a similar certificate to ensure their rights and interests. )

Working hours and payslips (in case of any disputes in the future, so remember your working hours and keep the payslips well. )

Don't be late or absent from work without authorization. Please contact for leave in advance.

Don't get something for nothing (Japanese hate to see people standing there motionless after finishing things, even if they have finished, they have to go through several cycles and can't do nothing. Stop and the boss will think you are lazy. )

Don't make excuses without apologizing first. Japanese people like to say sorry, even if they have done nothing wrong, so it is most undesirable to make excuses for doing something wrong without saying sorry. )

Don't be ignorant and don't make your own decisions (the most taboo for newcomers is to follow one's inclinations. If you are a newcomer, you should do what your predecessors taught you. If you don't understand, ask a few times with an open mind, and your predecessors will teach you patiently. )

Ordinary work

1, dishwasher

In the job advertisements of Japanese newspapers and magazines, the dishwasher was written as "washing field". At any time, there is a lot of information about "washing the ground".

In Japan, the working habits of dishwashers are mostly mastered by middle-aged and elderly women, but because their work content is relatively independent and simple, they need to use fewer languages and vocabulary. Therefore, it is more appropriate for foreign students who have just arrived in Japan to take up transitional jobs at first, and hotel owners are more willing to hire powerful students than middle-aged and elderly women. Therefore, even if their Japanese level is low, the success rate of applying for this job is higher.

The wages of dishwashers vary from place to place in Japan, but generally speaking, they are not too high. In Tokyo, it is about 800~950 yen per hour. As far as the job content is concerned, it is normal to be asked to help other staff to do some dishes washing, cutting, delivering and setting during the peak business hours of the hotel, and the boss will not increase his salary for this. Saving the cost of studying in Japan also requires students to do some part-time jobs! You can exercise yourself and learn a language.

2. newspaper delivery man

The job of the newspaper delivery man is to write "news distribution" in the job advertisement. Japanese newspapers are published in the morning and evening, so the work of the newspaper delivery staff can be divided into two types: morning delivery and evening delivery. Generally, the delivery time of early periodicals is 5:00-6:00 in the morning, and that of late periodicals is 16- 17. Whether delivering newspapers in early or late issues, it is required that the newspaper delivery personnel must go to the newspaper office to collect newspapers in advance, and accurately deliver newspapers to every family subscribing to newspapers in the local area within the specified time. Because the newspaper delivery involves a wide range, even a slight mistake will cause complaints, so the newspaper delivery personnel have a strong sense of responsibility and must be rain or shine, accurate and timely. Generally speaking, the average remuneration of newspaper delivery staff is 1 1,000 ~11,200 yen per hour, which is also paid monthly, which is about 45,000 ~ 50,000 yen per month. The newspaper office provides bicycles or mopeds for each newspaper delivery person.

3. Other work

In addition, porters of moving companies, handymen of vegetable and fruit wholesale markets and cleaners of cleaning companies, including handymen of road construction, are also jobs that foreign students who have just arrived in Japan can choose. But this kind of work is generally labor-intensive and the salary is not too high, so try to avoid it if possible.

With the understanding and familiarity of Japanese society and the continuous improvement of Japanese language ability, the range of temporary workers available for international students is increasing, including salespersons in department stores, supermarkets and convenience stores, waiters and takeout staff in restaurants and restaurants, and assemblers in some factories. Foreign students can choose to apply. This kind of work, relatively speaking, is not labor-intensive, and the labor remuneration is higher.

After mastering Japanese, foreign students can choose some jobs that focus on mental work. For example, there are many "Chinese classrooms" in various cities in Japan, where many Japanese who love China culture learn Chinese. This type of Chinese class often employs students from China to teach, especially those who have had teaching experience in universities, middle schools and primary schools in China before studying in Japan. They are very popular with their organizers.

In addition, with the frequent economic exchanges between China and Japan, many Japanese companies urgently need Chinese translators and Japanese staff. This kind of work not only has a wide range of contacts and activities, but also has a relatively high salary.
