How to find a part-time job in Japan

According to JASSO, about 70% of Japanese students work part-time. There are many people who work part-time in Japan for financial independence. In general, students living in Japan work part-time to increase the amount of money they can spend, in addition to sending money from their parents. For international students, working part-time is important not only for their income but also for their involvement with Japanese society. This is a good opportunity to expand your living base in Japan. Of course, it also helps improve your Japanese ability. So how do you find a part-time job? Let's take a look.

In addition to applying from the Internet, you can also apply from a job advertisement posted on the road by the store owner. However, even if you see the advertisement outside the store, in Japanese culture it is better to call first to hear the details.

It may seem difficult for foreigners to apply for a part-time job in Japan, but I would like you to try it as part of your experience in Japan. Please do your best.
The final stage is an interview, which is a very important step. But as with any interview in the world, it's important to be relaxed, positive, and honest in order to be hired.
My favorite is Townwork, one of Japan's most famous websites. In Townwork, you can easily find your favorite part-time job by searching. All you have to do is enter the area, job type, and keywords, and all available part-time jobs will be displayed, and you can see the details of the job. If you find a part-time job you like, you can apply by simply entering your personal information such as name, age, and contact information in the application form on the Internet. The internet has made it very easy to apply for a part-time job. The next thing to do is to wait for an incoming call. On the phone, you will be asked to confirm the information you have entered and when you will be able to work. If there is no problem for the company, you will proceed to the interview.

For part-time jobs for students in Japan, clerk at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and shops is common. When applying for such a job, communication skills for customer service are important, but more important than that is the Japanese level. So where do you apply when you're ready?
