Many times, it takes a huge amount of time from when international students start job hunting to the time they join a company in Japan. Foreign students face many challenges in finding employment at Japanese companies: due to cultural differences, working conditions, or the difficulty of communicating in Japanese.<\/p>\r\n<p>ARC Tokyo Japanese Language School helps students introducing jobs that meet their needs: the school has obtained a license for free-charging job placement and, in addition, a national qualified career consultant is a permanent member of the staff in campus to provide full support.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4>Procedures to work in Japan and ARC Support<\/h4>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shuukatsu-flow_EN-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4624 size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shuukatsu-flow_EN-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shuukatsu-flow_EN-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shuukatsu-flow_EN-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shuukatsu-flow_EN-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shuukatsu-flow_EN.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4>Students&#8217; Voice<\/h4>\r\n<div class=\"tmm tmm_employment-support\"><div class=\"tmm_2_columns tmm_wrap tmm_plugin_f\"><span class=\"tmm_two_containers_tablet\"><\/span><div class=\"tmm_container\"><div class=\"tmm_member\" style=\"border-top:#99d9d9 solid 5px;\"><div class=\"tmm_photo tmm_pic_employment-support_0\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/www.arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BackgroundEraser_20221214_083013959-1.jpg); margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto; background-size:cover !important;\"><\/div><div class=\"tmm_textblock\"><div class=\"tmm_names\"><span class=\"tmm_fname\">Emma<\/span> <span class=\"tmm_lname\">\/ Australia<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tmm_job\">Consulting company<\/div><div class=\"tmm_desc\" style=\"text-align:\"><p>- Educational background\uff1a Bachelor of Arts in Australia - Major in literature and creative writing - Period studied at ARC\uff1aJuly 2019 - September 2021 - Japanese profiency level before studying in Japan\uff1aN4 level - Japanese profiency level at the graduation\uff1a N2\/N1 level I am incredibly grateful for the support the teachers and other staff at ARC gave to me while I was job-searching as a student. I had countless one-on-one sessions with ARC teachers and staff to research companies, write resumes and practice interviews. I ended up joining a company that was introduced to me by the staff at ARC and I really enjoy working here. The business Japanese and etiquette I learned at ARC I now use every single day. I feel very lucky to have attended ARC which, despite the coronavirus pandemic affecting the job market, allowed me to succeed in my goal of finding a job in Japan.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"tmm_scblock\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tmm_member\" style=\"border-top:#99d9d9 solid 5px;\"><div class=\"tmm_photo tmm_pic_employment-support_1\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/www.arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/252252463ee858aff3ea3b86b0183942.png); margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto; background-size:cover !important;\"><\/div><div class=\"tmm_textblock\"><div class=\"tmm_names\"><span class=\"tmm_fname\">Michael<\/span> <span class=\"tmm_lname\">\/ USA<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tmm_job\">ALT dispatch company<\/div><div class=\"tmm_desc\" style=\"text-align:\"><p>- Educational background\uff1a Bachelor degree in the USA - Major in Art and Design - Period studied at ARC\uff1aJanuary 2020 - March 2022 - Japanese profiency level before studying in Japan\uff1aN5 level - Japanese profiency level at the graduation\uff1a N2 level The employment support I received at ARC was excellent. ARC provides information about job seminars and companies which are actively looking to hire foreign workers. The ARC staff and teachers were helpful, concerned and professional in every way. The school\u2019s staff offers support in all aspects of finding employment, including frequent consultations for job-seekers, help with preparing and revising resumes, preparation, advice and practice for interviews, as well as follow-up consultations. In my case, staff members even helped me make a demonstration video which was required for one of the companies to which I applied. I am glad to say, I was hired by that company.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"tmm_scblock\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><span class=\"tmm_two_containers_tablet\"><\/span><\/div><span class=\"tmm_columns_containers_desktop\"><\/span><div class=\"tmm_container\"><div class=\"tmm_member\" style=\"border-top:#99d9d9 solid 5px;\"><div class=\"tmm_photo tmm_pic_employment-support_2\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/www.arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Weimanlin.jpg); margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto; background-size:cover !important;\"><\/div><div class=\"tmm_textblock\"><div class=\"tmm_names\"><span class=\"tmm_fname\">Wei Manlin<\/span> <span class=\"tmm_lname\">\/China<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tmm_job\">Trading company<\/div><div class=\"tmm_desc\" style=\"text-align:\"><p>- Educational background\uff1a Master degree in English eduication - Period studied at ARC\uff1aApril 2024 - August 2025 - Japanese profiency level before studying in Japan\uff1aN3 level - Japanese profiency level at the graduation\uff1a N1 level When I first started studying in Japan, I felt that my Japanese language proficiency and understanding of the Japanese employment environment were not enough. I always worried whether I could really find a job. However, I gained a lot of inspiration and support by participating in the ARC's Business Japanese Course and making proper use of the employment support service. Whether it is a business class, a job support room or a job seminar, from resume writing to interview techniques, the teacher took into account all aspects and explained them in great detail. In particular, the many mock interviews not only improved my self-confidence, but also gradually improved my lack of preparation. In the end, I was lucky enough to get an offer, and I\u2019m really grateful for the school\u2019s help. I think the school\u2019s employment support system is very complete and is a great support for students who are looking for jobs. I sincerely hope that everyone can make full use of these resources to achieve their dreams.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"tmm_scblock\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tmm_member\" style=\"border-top:#99d9d9 solid 5px;\"><div class=\"tmm_photo tmm_pic_employment-support_3\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/www.arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bb408ea79444dd3737878909a2f2c878.jpg); margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto; background-size:cover !important;\"><\/div><div class=\"tmm_textblock\"><div class=\"tmm_names\"><span class=\"tmm_fname\">Kim Dasol<\/span> <span class=\"tmm_lname\">\/ Korea<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tmm_job\">Game company<\/div><div class=\"tmm_desc\" style=\"text-align:\"><p>- Education: Graduated from a junior college - Period of study at ARC: April 2024 \u2013 September 2025 - Japanese level: Before coming to Japan \u2013 N3 \u2192 After finishing ARC \u2013 Passed N1 ARC has a well-organized system, and the teachers and staff are all very kind. The classes are easy to understand, and the teachers answer questions patiently. The administrative staff also respond warmly to office procedures and daily life consultations. ARC\u2019s job-hunting curriculum is substantial, and I was able to learn the basics of job searching. Even now, I actively use the polite expressions and email writing skills that I learned at ARC in my workplace. At ARC, you can study a wide variety of topics in many different fields. In elective classes, you can choose courses that match your future goals, such as higher education or employment. There are also off-campus learning opportunities \u2014 for example, a bus trip to Mother Farm and a visit to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building \u2014 which gave me valuable new experiences. Looking back, I truly feel that studying at ARC was a wonderful decision.
