   **Is it difficult to find a job in Japan after graduating from language school?**

   Hi, all! I recently got my Certificate of Eligibility to study in a Japanese Language School in Tokyo. A background about me is that I graduated from uni with a degree in financial economics, worked in a bank for the past 3 years, and only resigned recently. I just wanted to ask if it’s difficult to find a part time job while on a student visa? And I’m sorry if I’m getting ahead of myself, but would it also be difficult to find work related to my field after I graduate language school?

   Thank you so much in advance!

2. The good ones have companies recruiting at graduation. You aren’t going to get a high paid desk job unless you already have valuable experience. Most of the positions are entry level at mid sized corporations. Pay isn’t amazing but it’s better than what the “teachers” will ever see.

3. Convenience stores and fast food are always hiring.

   Super easy. Restaurants, fast food, konbini, they always need more staffs.

   >would it also be difficult to find work related to my field

   Challenging. Japanese economics might be different to your country’s, and there’s tons of economy/finance-related technical terms (専門用語) that won’t be taught at the language school.

5. foreign banks and auditors might be hiring. not many but heard few success cases.

   depends on your luck
