However, communication skills are a must. Another challenge is represented by the ability to cope with both study and work.<\/p>\r\n<p>To live the study abroad experience to the fullest, it is important to polish your Japanese, but also to select with care your future working place.<\/p>\r\n<p>In ARC, we guide new students with orientation on basic knowledge about part-time jobs, regulations on relevant permission, how to interpret job offers, prepare resumes and interviews. Moreover, based on each student\u2019s interests, goals or proficiency, we introduce them to open job positions and watch over their progresses with advice on how to manage the new work and study routines.<\/p>\r\n<p>International students are not allowed to work, unless they obtain a specific permission, denominated \u201cPermission to engage in activity other than that permitted under the status of residence previously granted\u201d, enabling students to work part-time up to <strong>28 hours per week (8 hours a day, 40 hours per week during long holidays established by the school)<\/strong>. However, students are not allowed to work in the adult entertainment industry.<\/p>\r\n<p>The average hourly wage in Tokyo is about<strong>\u00a01,200 &#8211; 1,300 JPY<\/strong>. It is common for taxes and social insurance to be deducted from the gross salary.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"tmm tmm_part-time-comment\"><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:#2cb1cc solid 5px;\"><div class=\"tmm_photo tmm_pic_part-time-comment_0\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/www.arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_20230818_130554.jpg); margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto; background-size:cover !important;\"><\/div><div class=\"tmm_textblock\"><div class=\"tmm_names\"><span class=\"tmm_fname\">KAUNG<\/span> <span class=\"tmm_lname\">MYAT KO<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tmm_job\">Working part-time at a fast food shop and a sushi restaurant<\/div><div class=\"tmm_desc\" style=\"text-align:\">I came to Japan after passing JLPT N5 in my country.
