Finding a job in Japan as a fresh graduate

2. I moved to Japan as a fresh grad with a bachelors and N1 so I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to. I used MyNavi国際派就職 and Careerforum in which I went to career fairs and did loads of interviews with companies there. These events are done all over the world and even online so check the above 2 to see if any are around you or you can do them online. Some of my colleagues got in from career fairs in America and Europe.

   Now that it’s covid especially a lot of job hunting is done online so not 100% necessary to be in Japan first but the same events are held in Japan too so you can shoot your shot.

3. Japan is starving for talent and has less than 1 applicant per opening averaged across the economy ( Around 1.2 openings per applicant) which is insane.

   You should have no problem getting work.

4. I am actually an intern at the moment in a recruitment company for foreign students/foreigners. I am currently holding a N2 Japanese language, I think you’ll be fine considering you also have a masters degree and is currently applying for N1. You can sign up as a student here and they have job offers/events where you can ask people who are already in a company in Japan. –> [https://jportjournal.com/sign-up?jacode=ao120](https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fjportjournal.com%2Fsign-up%3Fjacode%3Dao120&e=ATNTCcScLetoh4N1tHC1g2n6VhxuU_DfkwnBIUGJDJF1V2X5feuujQweTXwOER7tUiVzx5l8HrdWesMTMgo8LQ&s=1)

   They have mentorship opportunities as well where you can ask current employees to check your Japanese resume if you’re thinking of working in a japanese company! I would say just try to get in as much job interviews as possible + prepare your 履歴書
