Finding a Job in Japan
I'm looking to get a job with either a major Japanese corporation or more likely an American corporation with a Japanese office. I'm 7ish months out of school, where I double majored in Econ and Poli Sci was a Cum Laude graduate (3.6ish GPA) at a school that has a pretty good record of getting people finance/accounting/consulting etc jobs (also has a recent record of fudging SAT scores if that's helpful...). I am currently living in Japan, although working on a one-year teaching fellowship, so I'm thinking the fact that I'm already in Japan may be helpful. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to land an interview for American corporations in Japan. I've already looked at the alumni group, and it's not THAT great, especially considered to the positions people are in back in the US. I also had dinner at a family friend who is CEO of the Japanese branch of a major Chinese bank, but I'm not sure how to approach him about finding a job. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Do you speak Japanese? If so, it will be easy, if not, it could be very difficult, even at an American company. You should get in contact with recruiters. I would also try to meet with JETRO and see if they can help, as well as try to network with any expats (mostly Brits from what I have seen). Japan is a very tough market to crack, so it may take a while to find anything and you will have to be entrepreneurial.
