Download or read book Making It Big in Japan written by Misha Yurchenko and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making it Big in Japan is your ultimate guide to living, working and playing in Japan. The information you get about Japan from reading articles online in English only scratches the surface. Like an outdated textbook, the advice seems to be stuck in the 1980s, without reflecting the real pace of change in Japan. There is a need for more clarity and explanations of information that is often only available in Japanese. To fill this gap I have interviewed the people who influenced me, served as role models, or offered valuable perspectives along my 7+ year journey in Japan, to share their knowledge to all those interested in living and working in Japan. I hope this book will answer all the questions I had before landing in the country. We''ll cover finding work beyond English teaching, setting up a business, learning the language, navigating complicated and frustrating visa processes, understanding the hierarchical culture of Japanese workplaces, mastering the do''s and don''ts of dating in Japan, scaling career progression, and much more. In the book you''ll get answers to questions like... How do I get a visa? How do I get a job in Japan? What is the best way to learn Japanese? What non-English teaching jobs can I get? How do I transition out of English teaching to something else? What kind of career can I have as a foreigner in Japan? What are the best, foreigner-friendly companies to work for in Japan? How do I start my own business and is Japan entrepreneur-friendly? How can I be a freelancer or consultant? As a foreign woman, what do I have to watch out for? What is it like being the only black employee in a Japanese company? What are the best networking techniques in Japan? Can I actually have a decent work-life balance? Do I seriously need to get a hanko? What''s the secret to making Japanese friends? How do I still have fun in Tokyo on a shoestring budget? Where are the best bars and clubs? What are the best tips for dating in Japan, especially when you don''t speak Japanese? What''s the best way to travel and discover Japan? What are the biggest secrets about doing business in Japan? What should I do if I get fired in Japan? Is full time employment my best bet? What other contract types can I consider? What about raising kids in Japan? What happens if I get stopped by the police? How do I invest in Japanese real estate? How can I position myself to obtain a long-term visa and settle down? ...and much more! These burning questions, which are answered through 30+ in-depth interviews, shed a new light on what it''s like to live and work in Japan. Many of the interviewees came here to teach English, while others took completely different routes; setting up their own companies, sales, marketing, translating, programming, manufacturing, service jobs, YouTubing, freelancing or studying. Included are details about the series of events that led them here and the practical steps they took on their paths to success. Whether you''re interested in Japan and are looking for a detailed guide from people who have successfully started a life and built a career in Japan, or if you are already in Japan and looking for ideas/options, then this book is for you! --- About the Author Misha Yurchenko is an author, blogger and entrepreneur.

Download or read book There s No Such Thing as an Easy Job written by Kikuko Tsumura and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] 21st-century response to Herman Melville's 'Bartleby, the Scrivener.'" -NPR “A thought-provoking, drily funny critique of capitalism and the systems of self-worth that are built around it.” -TIME, “Must-Read Books of the Year” A young woman walks into an employment agency and requests a job that has the following traits: it is close to her home, and it requires no reading, no writing, and ideally, very little thinking. Her first gig--watching the hidden-camera feed of an author suspected of storing contraband goods--turns out to be inconvenient. (When can she go to the bathroom?) Her next gives way to the supernatural: announcing advertisements for shops that mysteriously disappear. As she moves from job to job--writing trivia for rice cracker packages; punching entry tickets to a purportedly haunted public park--it becomes increasingly apparent that she's not searching for the easiest job at all, but something altogether more meaningful. And when she finally discovers an alternative to the daily grind, it comes with a price. This is the first time Kikuko Tsumura--winner of Japan's most prestigious literary award--has been translated into English. There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job is as witty as it is unsettling--a jolting look at the maladies of late capitalist life through the unique and fascinating lens of modern Japanese culture.
