Hello, i’m actually planning to live in japan in the next year and i wonder if there’s a common work environment for a foreigner from malaysia. Since most MNC is from the west i figure working for english company is a better option than at their local company before i slowly get better at speaking japanese as i working there. Can you guys please recommend me some best english MNC near the Hokkaido? Any help is greatly appreciated, there’s like 20 thousands jobs on indeed I’m not sure if most of them is suitable for a foreigner and i kinda prefer 12 hours shift work. Thanks

Hi, the only reason a foreign firm would come to Japan is to do business in Japan with domestic companies or customers. Therefore Japanese language is more than often a requirement.
Do you have any skills or experience?
nope
I can’t speak for Hokkaido, but that being said, what is your field? If you are a software engineer, then there might be some options. If not, probably zero options. Even as a software engineer, that market seems to be softening a bit.
Most importantly, what kind of special skills do you have to provide that the Japanese companies can’t just hire locally?
The economy is going to be different now than a year from now. Trying to plan for a specific job that far in advance is not going to be a good use of time.
Try and find something that matches your career path and find relevant companies to network with in the year leading up to your departure.
you may be able to get a factory job if you have no skill/no jp but depends what visa you have
