Messages from employed students
Job Offer Recipient from the General Course
Chou Tzu Yuan（Taiwan） Employed at an IT company
My ultimate goal in coming to Japan was to find employment. However, I didn't have enough Japanese skills, so I first decided to study at a Japanese language school.When I received a job offer from a company, my JLPT level was at N2. There were times when I couldn’t properly express myself in Japanese in interviews. However, I was improving my Japanese at a much faster pace after studying at Akamonkai, and I finally received a job offer. During job hunting, my employment support adviser gave me tips on writing resumes and choosing the right company for me. It helped my job hunting process tremendously. Last but not least, I pray that you will all be able to work for the company that is appropriately suited for you. I wish you the best of luck.
Job Offer Recipient from the Business Class
Li Jiaxin （China） Employed at a food company
When I was job hunting, my Business Class teacher was always there to check my resume. The interview exercises through role play were done once or twice a week outside of class. It helped me to become familiar with the tense atmosphere of the actual interviews and practice speaking techniques. Before receiving your job offer, you may often be rejected in the selection process. However, you may not be as disheartened if you acknowledge that rejection is a common occurrence for job hunting in Japan. You'll be more likely to pass the interview. Countless students went into the interviews perfectly prepared but still didn't pass the selection. That's why I think it's beneficial to take as many interviews as you possibly can, even if you aren't good at it.That's why I think it's beneficial to take as many interviews as you possibly can, even if you aren't good at it. Time goes by very quickly, and you don't need to have it perfect from the start. Rather than spending too much time preparing, put your skills into actual practice first!
