Many people in Japan actually don’t say “I love you” in Japanese. The actual expression to say you love feelings is “Suki des” that means “I like you” in Japanese. However, since in some Japanese movies and drama, this “Aishiteiru” expression has come. So, Japanese learners worldwide have learnt this as a normal expression as we say in English “I love you”. But since this is not much used, you should learn how to say I love you in Japanese in Japan. It is after the name of the person, you put “san” and then say “ga suki des”.

 For example: “Naomi san ga suki des” or “Naomi san no koto ga suki des”

The expression “Koto ga” here doesn’t have any special meaning. It just emphasizes on the personality or existence of the person who we like. So the expression “aishiteiru” you can consider as the final expression for those lovers who are already in love for a long time and they want to confess it once again to make their moment memorable.

In Japanese language, there are many such expressions which are more likely to be covering the whole expression and may not be as accurate to be translated directly in English. I love you in Japanese is just an example for such a situation. One has to master Japanese language at least up to an intermediate level to understand and comprehend such kind of situations and of course to get a JOB IN JAPANESE.

To understand the details of Japanese language it is also very important to understand Japanese culture also. This is because Japanese culture has a huge impact on some peculiar Japanese language expression that Japanese people regularly use in their day to day conversation. For example there is some unique Japanese food and the style of eating that food that you may see only in Japan which is peculiar to Japanese culture and tradition only and cannot be found in any other country.

Likewise the expression I love you in Japanese as expressed earlier is a very soft expression that reflects the politeness and softness of Japanese language greetings or such situations where love is not imposed but expressed as a mere feeling in initial stage. So to understand these soft details you have to and you should at least understand basic Japanese language and you will also like the courteous and manner full Japanese culture.

Let’s Start:

There is a huge difference in study and Jobs structure and thinking between India and Japan because when go first time to Japan for our study or for work so we realize a few things which are not similar to our country. The Japanese way to live life is quite different and much more elegant than ours also that the same time they are very accurate about their study and work.

These days we have a high class of study in India still when we talk about Japanese studies it still has distance. In India, we have restricted resources to go upon however in Japan we have a high volume of resources in terms of study and work.

We might not take the work seriously but in Japan, they are very curious about their work and they want to complete their work in a limited time frame. Eventually, we also wanted to complete the task within the TAT (Turn Around Time).

LIFE IN JAPAN:

Life in Japan is very sorted and coolest because opportunities are much more in Japan in terms of learning and earning so If you are looking to visit Japan or study in Japan so you will find a very much-fitted atmosphere there.

Beginner who wants either work or study in Japan will find very good opportunities. At the same time if you visiting from any other county, especially from Asia you have to be very authenticated and you should have a core value of time because the Japanese are very much dedicated and punctual towards their goal. At the same time, we compare the Japanese market with other countries so it’s very vast and things are bigger to establish in the Japanese market.

JAPANESE GADGETS:

Now, if we can talk about the Japanese toys which are famous worldwide, we come up with many reasons which drive people to purchase from the Japanese market only. There are very high resource opportunities in Japan in terms of any field. If you want to earn and make a handsome amount of salary on a weekly/monthly basis, you have to be more attached to Japanese culture. In terms of visiting Japan the very first time so you will find a very different atmosphere and experience which is like the next level.

JAPANESE MARKET:

When especially we talk about the Japanese market so we can search or demand anything in the Japanese market today that’s the reason people across the world like to import things from Japan.  When we talk about the time consuming to make or produce any goods in any country so instead of giving the efforts to make it perfect they prefer to order from Japan.

Japan is on the top list in terms of manufacturing the vehicles because we compare the Japanese market with the USA so the manufacturing made in America has a very period of age at the same time Japanese manufacturing is for a long term.

JAPANESE MANUFACTURING:

Their identity of thinking is or we would say way of living is very much different which makes them very special. Today we can find any ultramodern manufacturing or making which is being served to outsource.

People are divided into multiple things in terms of their way of living, study, work, and daily life and the Japanese are very kind toward needy people.

Few points to remember while you are going for a Japanese interview, no matter whether you are in Japan or in your home country:

1. You should never forget any of your documents. Not because the Japanese have a precise mind and they will get to know you eventually, but because it is ethically wrong to do so.
2. You should tell your Japanese language level honestly as they will judge your level within the first few minutes anyway.
3. It is best to give an impression of truthfulness in you because it will add to your hidden qualities and your right attitude towards joining their company for a long time.
4. It is essential to understand the requirement and undertake the opportunity only after getting your confidence and ability level understood by yourself.
5. In case of a face-to-face interview, apart from all these points, also groom yourself with neat clothes and a clean shave. Also, read and understand all the essentials for the basic procedure of a Japanese interview.

Please refer to these questions and answers as they are given only to give you brief hint and some base so that you can build your own answers with confidence.

Q1. Why do you want to join this company?

Answer: I have studied about your company on the internet and on social media and I am keen to work with your organization for many months as my interests and your company’s vision match. Therefore I feel I can put my best efforts into contributing to your organization as well as my personal learning.

Q2. What was the previous experience that you contribute to our company?

Answer: First of all I have studied and worked in the Japanese language field for many years. Secondly, I am familiar with the technical jargon and Japanese work procedures, especially in the area of _______. So I feel I can contribute to the company using all the knowledge without taking much of the training time as well as I can enhance my vocabulary and verbal expressions that will fit my further growth within the company.

Q3. How do you distinguish yourself working with a Japanese company?

Answer: I have learned and appreciated all the Japanese work styles and I am well familiar with the ideologies they follow like 5S (Seiri, Seiton, Shitsuke, Seiso, Sousa). I am already familiar with training fellow persons who are going to work under Japanese with these ideologies. So I distinguish myself as a person with Japanese mannerisms as well as the competency to translate and interpret the language.

Q4. How comfortable are you doing Japanese interpretation and translation?

Answer: I like all kinds of Japanese-related works like Japanese translation, interpretation, conducting meetings, teleconferences, taking minutes of meetings. I have studied the Japanese language and put my every effort to do better in it. Even while working till now I have taken notes whenever new vocabulary or expression I came across. Thankfully my Japanese counterparts were too helpful to take the time and effort to teach me whenever they could.

Q5. What is more important while working with the Japanese?

Answer: The most important point is to be disciplined and truthful. If you are always on time and with the work done beforehand, you will be considered fit to work in the long run because discipline is just a norm in Japanese society. Another important point is while undertaking a task it is very important to understand first and then agree after your own calculation that this work can be really accomplished within the time limit or not. Once undertaken, it is assumed by Japanese people that you will finish it positively and you have a 100% understanding of it.

Q6. What is Don’ts while working with Japanese?

Answer: You should never try to cover up your mistake by lying or hiding something because it is always better and harmless to tell everything to your Japanese counterparts since they usually have a procedure or a remedy in case of any mistake. But if you are hiding it, then it will become your own responsibility later when it gets revealed. One more important point is that you never have to be rude or forceful while imparting an order or instruction given by any of the sides. Since everything is absolutely professional in the Japanese environment, everything has to be considered feasible or not through logic and not force.

Have you heard people saying “Oh no! Japanese is really a tough language”?

Japanese is NOT difficult

We know by our years of experience that most of the students in frustration convey to you that Japanese is really a tough language because of their old and wrong way of learning the Japanese language.

 Let’s understand the difference first

Most students do the same mistake of doing the study of Advance Japanese same as they did Basic Japanese. They learn a vast number of Kanji by writing them and waste their precious time. In the end, they realize that the ways should be actually entirely different while going into the advanced study.

So what’s the Secret?

The secret is to start learning Japanese in a practical way and rather than only cramming the vocabulary and patterns, you should start speaking the sentence that came in front of you while studying. Be it basic or be it advanced. All the secrets have been told here on nihongomax.com in over 3,000 audios in plain and hitting Hindi. Go use them.

Things to master are Dokkai and Chōkai

Students take a long time to understand very simple things. They should learn spoken Japanese by imitating Japanese listening. Or they can read and solve a long comprehension passage if they keep reading and reading Japanese. There is no shortcut to it.

Is Japanese speaking difficult?

Not for Hindi speakers!

The spoken Japanese structure resembles very much that of Hindi. It resembles so much that it is very easy to translate it into Hindi compared to English. That’s why there is a worldwide impression of the Japanese being difficult over the internet. Because seems difficult to native English speakers such as Americans or Europeans most of them are content creators and bloggers about Japanese language learning.

But I saw that the Japanese script is very difficult. Is it true?

Yes, that’s true. The script of Japanese is a little hard to learn. That’s why we have told you that it can be mastered by learning in a systematic way by dividing it into some levels. Thankfully JLPT has made criteria and levels very clear and thus nihongomax.com has been structured for you.

Is it still difficult for you? Log in and put every kind of your difficulty on the wall. What and how do read the Japanese language and by when we can get a confidence level in it? How can we get a Job in Japanese and what are the minimum criteria? We know what and how to explain. You can count on us.

What not to do

Let’s understand what is NOT true about Japanese language learning

1. Only kanji learning is enough and better way to learn Japanese??
2. Only English meaning can be learned for every Kanji and for every vocabulary in Japanese??
3. That there is no need for speaking the choukai (Listening questions) using audio??
4. The long reading section in the JLPT exam for Japanese is very difficult and there is no solution to it??

GET THE ANSWERS

Students usually make the mistake of learning Japanese like mathematics. They start reading and memorizing everything that is told in books without understanding the fact that a foreign language cannot be memorized as mathematical formulas. So in the process of learning, whenever students come across with exceptional Language, they get frustrated and say that Japanese is a tough language.

The key to mastering the Japanese language is to learn vocabulary in sentence form. After becoming a little speedy in reading, one should start speaking those sentences.
After getting adapted speed reading and speaking one can see the magic.

 Let’s take an example of新聞

It is read as “Shimbun” (しんぶん) and the meaning is “Newspaper”

Now even if you have learned both Kanji (新) as “Atarashii” and (聞) as “Kiku”, You have to again learn it as a combination of 新聞. So rather than going the difficult way, let’s start learning it as a vocabulary.

Also, if you should even don’t learn it as a vocabulary, but read it as a sentence 4-5 times likeわたしは日本語の新聞が難しくてわからない。

It will not only help you greatly master the vocabulary but it will also increase your speed of reading.

Also, if you speak it loud while reading, it will enhance your listening skills.

There are people who take 2-3 years to achieve an advanced level in the Japanese language by studying very hard. And there are people who do it in less than 1 year studying by a practical approach. Now the choice is yours.

SOME FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING LEARNING JAPANESE

1. The Japanese language cannot be mastered by learning only the words or the rules of grammar. They are told only to teach the correct building of sentences.
2. Make it a daily activity to speak the sentences given here and it will automatically help you learn the words, grammar, and even particle usage.
3. Like a child learns a language by listening to his parents, TV, neighbors, friends, etc, as a foreign language student, we have to become our own friends by making ourselves listen to the language 4-5 times every time we understand any new thing.
4. Whenever a new word comes, don’t learn it by its English meaning only. English meaning is required we understand, but only in the initial phase when we don’t know its meaning and usage at all.
5. Once we are familiar with its meaning and usage, learn it by repeating the sentence.
6. If you follow the instructions given above honestly, your chances of failing the exams become minimal.
7. Also, there is a common myth about CHOUKAI that it is the most difficult section of the exam. Believe it or not, while speaking the sentences you will automatically feel a significant improvement in your listening skills. So keep listening to the audio given here repeatedly.

Japanese language study techniques

As we told you there are people who study very hard. Very very hard. And say “OMG! Japanese is really a tough language”. So the technique is “NOT TO LISTEN to THEM”

Focus on practical knowledge

Let us share with you that a foreign language especially the Japanese language cannot be mastered by only learning vocabulary and grammar. The key is what we do here is to absorb the language by audio and then repeat the sentences and feel the language with meaning.

Not only Concepts but counseling too

While listening, learn what mistakes usually students (Even senior students) do. And learn what not to do while studying the Japanese Language. Any day any time you can ask us what actually is the good way to conquer this language.

Listening and comprehension Secret

Listening and comprehension questions are what a student is most dreadful of. What should be the way, what should be the criteria, and what should be the technique is what we teach here while training you with the actual questions, actual difficulty level, and actual scenarios.

The post Is the Japanese Language difficult? first appeared on Nihogomax Blog.

One widespread fact about people in Japan is that they are exceptionally hardworking and dedicated to their work. Yet you may encounter many Japanese people who say that they are still not giving their 100% to the work. There is no doubt, though, about their ability to be completely absorbed in a task, or about their perseverance when there is a problem to be solved. What do Japanese Engineers, Inventors, and Otakus (Fans of Anime and Manga) have in common? They all understand the importance of flowing with their inner self at all times.

One of the first words a Japanese language student learns while starting learning the Japanese language is “Ganbaru” which means “to persevere” or “to stay firm and not give up”. Japanese people apply this to themselves since their childhood in any form of activity be it sports, extra-curricular activities, and of course in their Jobs to the extent of obsession. No wonder why Japan has the history of the fastest recovery from war and developing into a nation many people look forward to visiting.

If we take this into examples of Japanese engineering companies, there are a large number of examples like Toyota, Sony and Mitsubishi, etc we can consider as a role model to any engineering growing company. The level of their precision, dedication, and discipline in making a product or even the smallest product part is unmatched. Even an IT engineer, who has a long experience of working and making IT products, has to go through a rigorous interview while entering a Japanese company. No wonder for a non-Japanese native IT engineer, it will be even more difficult as he has to clear the Japanese language round also.

Not only for engineers but even for artisans, there can be a strictly productive work style from day one of joining a new company. I remember my few days of internship experience at a Japanese company that made us experience the work style of a magazine producer. Some normal rules were as follows:

1. Divide each activity into groups of related tasks
2. Assign each group its own place and name
3. If you are writing a magazine article, you could do research and takes notes at home in the morning
4. Write in the library in the afternoon
5. Edit on the couch at night
6. Be productive by thinking of innovative ways to save time

Now since we were new to the culture, we were handled softly and not for a long time. But for the real interns, most of them were Japanese, there was no looking back once they are assigned a particular task. After all, it was going to be their permanent job and they wanted to establish themselves as a professional magazine editor in the long run.

So for many of those who have understood the value of hard work and dedication to work in Japan as an engineer, it is now the time to prove it to yourself that really you can do it.

And the way to test you is to start finding a job as an engineer in Japan. You have to search in large quantities and for long hours. You have to keep improvising your resume and there is a lot to learn before actually landing for a Japanese interview.

How to become an Engineer in Japan

In Japan, since the corona-virus pandemic, there is a rapid growth in software-based technologies and website services and therefore the demand for IT engineers has risen significantly.

For example, Japan has the largest number of industrial robots in the world – so if your coding skills are good, you can see yourself being an IT engineer in Japan.

Some of the useful sites to find Jobs are:

1. Hello work
2. com
3. Gaijin Pot
4. Indeed
5. Bizreach

They don’t necessarily require Japanese language skills but yes your chances will become high if you can learn to an intermediate level. Hard work in Japanese society often pays you well as told in the above section, efforts are valued in Japan.

The post Jobs and career in the Japanese language first appeared on Nihogomax Blog.

The first question you will always get is some version of “please introduce yourself,” most commonly:
Jikoshoukai wo onegai shimasu (自己紹介をお願いします/じこしょうかいをおねがいします)
The key vocabulary here is 自己紹介. Simply listen for this word, regardless of how the question is phrased. You’ll know you need to introduce yourself when you hear it.
This monologue should include information about your most recent activities, such as employment history or university courses, as well as information about yourself, such as pastimes, passions, and hobbies. Keep it short and sweet; don’t go into too much detail. The best way to properly introduce yourself is to prepare a short monologue. Take care of yourself.Keep in mind that this, like everything else you say in a Japanese interview, should at the very least be polite. knowledge of the business In most cases, an interview will last about 30 minutes. This monologue should cover your latest activities, whether work history or university courses and a little about yourself, such as pastimes, passions, and hobbies.
Keep it brief, don’t go into too much detail. Keep in mind that this, along with anything else you say during a Japanese interview, should at least be in the polite form.

Knowledge about the company

Typically an interview will Begin by describing your knowledge of the company. You might well be asked:
•What are your impressions of our firm?”
ni tsuite nani wo shitte imasu ka? (Company name) ni tsuite nani wo shitte imasu ka? (Company name について何を知っていますか/についてなにをしっていますか).
The firm’s name, and, are crucial terms to listen for, and then you should give a brief description of what you know about the company based on your study – for example, corporate history, products, customers, competitors, and so on.

Alternatively, you may also be asked:

• “What does our company make? What kind of products are there?”
Donna seihin ni tsukawareteiru ka gozonji desu ka? (Company name) ga dono youna seihin wo tsukutteiru ka, donna seihin ni tsukawareteiru ka gozonji desu ka? (Company name がどの様な製品を作っているか、どんな製品に使われているかご存知ですか/company name がどのようなせいひんをつくっているか、どんなせいひんにつかわれているか ごぞんじですか).
This question inquires as to what kind of items the company now produces and sells. The firm name, as well as the verb forms or, are important vocabulary items. You know you need to talk about the company’s products once you hear such phrases.

How do you think you’d be a good fit for the job?

Of course, you, the job, and the job criteria will occupy a significant portion of the interview. One of the first questions you may hear is:
• “Regarding the position that you have applied for, what do you know about it?”
Dou rikai shiteimasu ka, konkai omoushikomi no pojishon ni tsuite?
(今回お申し込みのポジションについて、どう理解していますか / こんかいおもうしこみのぽじしょんについて、どうりかいしていますか)
This indicates that they are inquiring about your application for this position as well as your understanding of the job role. The keywords to listen out for are お申し込み, ポジション and 理解. You should talk about the job role, as well as why you applied, and try to demonstrate how your experience complements the job function.
Why did you apply for this job?
Frequently, an interviewer will inquire as to why you applied for the employment. The question is usually written in a straightforward manner. They might ask you:
• “Please tell us why you applied,”
oubodouki wo oshiete kudasai (応募動機を教えて下さい/おうぼどうきをおしえてください).
Instead of 応募動機, the interviewer could also possibly ask:
shiboudouki, oubo shita riyuu, (志望動機、応募した理由 / しぼうどうき、おうぼしたりゆう),
ouboshita kikkake (応募したきっかけ / おうぼしたきっかけ)
or shibouriyuu (志望理由 / しぼうりゆう)
These all have a similar meaning. Again, I recommend emphasising the experiences and talents you have that are relevant to the employment role in your response.
Other questions to consider

One question you could hear – and which can cause confusion – is:

• “What motivates you to leave your current position?”
ima no shigoto wo kaetai riyuu ha nan desu ka (今の仕事を替えたい理由は何ですか/いまのしごとをかえたいりゆうはなんですか).
This suggests they’re asking about your reasons for shifting jobs, but it’s easy to misinterpret this question as the interviewer inquiring about your current work only by listening for the crucial words. It’s critical to answer correctly, and as with any interview, you must avoid criticising your prior career or the organisation you worked for while answering this type of question. You might also be asked the following questions.:
• “If you were placed in this position, please tell us about what you would like to achieve” or:
anata ga moshi kono oshigoto ni saiyou saretara, okonaitai koto wo oshiete kudasai (あなたがもしこのお仕事に採用されたら、行いたいことを教えて下さい/あなたがもし このおしごとにさいようされたら、おこないたいことをおしえてください).
The question simply asks what you want to accomplish if you were to get this job. To respond, you must first understand the nature of the task and be able to propose a realistic target that you would like to achieve.

 Know what you’re all about

Finding out about you is one of the key goals of the interview. They may inquire about your current employment if you are currently employed.. One question you may expect to hear is:
• “Please tell us about your current job,”
genzai no shigoto naiyou wo oshiete kudasai (現在の仕事内容を教えて下さい/げんざいのしごとないようをおしえてください).
This is an opportunity for you to emphasise important abilities and the type of job you do. Because the crucial phrase in this sentence is (inside a job), make sure you explain about what you do in your current job rather of just talking about employment in general. Discuss the value you bring to your current employer. It is also a good opportunity to show how your experience matches the position you have applied for.
Your relevant background.
The interviewer, on the other hand, will want to learn more about any experience you cite and will ask for more specific instances. Let’s pretend the job was in sales. In this instance, they may inquire:

• “Please tell us about your experience in sales.”
ima made okonatta seerusu katsudou ni tsuite oshiete kudasai (今まで行ったセールス活動について教えて下さい/いままでおこなった せーるすかつどうについておしえてください).
This question is quite typical, and You can use the term “sales” to refer to a variety of skills, abilities, or experiences. It is critical to pay attention to the word because they are requesting certain behaviours. And if you want to improve your listening, be sure to check out this post.
In order to see what you are like, especially in regards to working under pressure, Both questions inquire about your reaction to pressure.The following questions will be asked of you by the interviewer:
• “What do you do when you’re under a lot of pressure? Please explain exactly how you would cope,” or:
puresshaa ni dou taiou shimasu ka, puresshaa ni taisho suru houhou wo oshiete kudasai. (プレッシャーにどう対応しますか。プレッシャーに対処する方法を教えて下さい/ぷれっしゃーにどうたいおうしますか。ぷれっしゃーにたいしょするほうほうをおしえてください).
Both questions inquire about your reaction to pressure. The term pressure itself is simple to grasp; all you need to be aware of are the verbs. 対応します and 対処する.
What makes you enthused about work in the morning?

The interviewer will also want to explore a little into your motivation, asking:
• “What kind of work is particularly motivating for you?”
Soushitsu sasemasu ka dono youna shigoto ga anata no yaruki? (どのような仕事があなたのやる気を喪失させますか/どのようなしごとがあなたのやるきをそうしつさせますか).
This question is also inferring what kind of work deters you, so avoid saying anything that isn’t relevant to the job function you’ve applied for!How do you handle troubleshooting at your workplace? Troubleshooting questions are possibly the most dreaded form of question, as they might be difficult to foresee.
How you manage troubleshooting at work.
Troubleshooting questions are perhaps the type of question that everyone dreads most, as they can be hard to anticipate. The interviewer may present you with a difficult circumstance for which you must come up with a solution. At a basic level you may get questions like these:
• “What do you do if you can’t make a deadline?”
Shimekiri ga mamorenasasouna toki ha dou shimasu ka. (締め切りが守れなさそうな時はどうしますか/しめきりがまもれなさそうなときはどうしますか).
• “What would you do if you couldn’t effectively manage your workload?”
Dono youni taisho shimasu ka, shigotojou taimu maneejimento ga umaku ikanai baai, shigotojou taimu maneejimento ga umaku ikanai baai. (仕事上タイムマネジメントが上手くいかない場合、どのように対処しますか/しごとじょう たいむまねーじめんとがうまくいかないばあい、どのようにたいしょしますか).
These two questions are very similar; the first asks if you can meet a deadline (), thus you must come up with a suitable alternative. Give your response to what you would do in this case. The second question is a little bit more focused on how you deal with (対処) time management problems.
It is always best to prepare several examples as responses prior to your interview. The following question also asks you to explore a hypothetical situation:
• “If you come across a problem during work, how would you resolve it?”
Shigotojou mondai ga hassei shitara, dou kaiketsu shimasu ka.”(仕事上問題が発生したら、どう解決しますか/しごとじょう もんだいがはっせいしたら、どうかいけつしますか).
This question inquires as to how you would deal with an issue that has arisen. Preparing specific examples that you can easily talk about and go into more detail about if prompted is a good idea.

• “At work, there’s someone with whom you don’t get along. What would you do if you didn’t know how to get along with them?”
Shokuba de umaku tsukiaenai hito ha donna hito desu ka shokuba de umaku tsukiaenai hito ha donna hito desu ka Mata, sono kata to dou yatte umaku tsukiaimasu ka. (職場で上手く付き合えない人はどんな人ですか。また、その方とどうやって上手くつきあいますか/しょくばで うまくつきあえないひとは どんなひとですか。また、そのかたとどうやって うまくつきあいますか).
This is dealing with more interpersonal issues, like what kind of person you don’t get along with and what you would do in that situation. I’d emphasise in your response that you don’t have a certain type of individual with whom you don’t get along, but if you did, you’d use your communication skills to solve the problem.
• “How would you handle a workplace conflict with a coworker with whom you disagree?” How would you come to an understanding?”
Shigotojou, iken no awanai douryou ni dou sesshi, taiou shimasu ka (仕事上、意見の合わない同僚にどう接し、対応しますか/しごとじょう いけんのあわないどうりょうに どうせっし、たいおうしますか).
This question is asking if you have a difference of opinion with a work colleague, 同僚, again I would highlight communication skills in your answer and try to make it clear that you get along with people quite well.
In your response, I would emphasise communication abilities and make it evident that you get along well with others.

• “Can you tell me how you cope with challenging people?””
Atsukai no muzukashii hito ni tai shite, dono youni taisho shimasu ka (扱いの難しい人に対してどのように対処しますか/あつかいのむずかしいひとにたいして どのようにたいしょしますか).
This is similar to the previous question but the interviewer is asking more directly what you would do if another person was difficult. You can think in terms of difficult customers rather than difficult colleagues.
Your applicable experiences and skills.
An essential part of the interview is about your strengths, but the interviewer may also ask about your weaknesses:
• “Can you tell us about your strengths/weaknesses?”
Anata no chousho/tansho wo oshiete kudasai (あなたの長所・短所を教えて下さい/あなたのちょうしょ・たんしょをおしえてください).
If you hear 長所, then you need to give examples of your strengths. If you are asked about your 短所 then you need to provide examples of your weaknesses. As a rule of thumb, you should prepare three examples of strengths prior to any interview. For anything you are not good at, you should also include an explanation of how you are overcoming it.
Alternatively, the interviewer may go straight into asking you about your experience. For example:
• “How do you think your experience matches the position?”
“anata no keiken kara donna koto wo heisha de ikaseru to omoimasu ka?“ (あなたの経験からどんなことを弊社で生かせると思いますか/あなたのけいけんから どんなことをへいしゃで いかせるとおもいますか).
Important vocabulary to listen out for would be 経験, 弊社に and 生かせる. It is vital that in your answer that you don’t just talk about your experience but actually answer the question.
For example, you can talk about specific job roles that you have had which make you a suitable match for the job you are interviewing for. 弊社 refers to the company where you have applied for a job, it is best to keep an ear out for this word.
A similar question, but in regards to skills, would be:
• “How do you think your skills match the position?”
“anata no sukiru no donna koto wo ikaseru to omoimasu ka” (あなたのスキルのどんなことを生かせると思いますか/あなたのすきるのどんなことをいかせるとおもいますか). 生かせる is an important word to remember as it can be used quite often.
Another way to find out more about you is to ask:
• “If you compare yourself to someone else, how would you do work differently?”
“hoka no hito to kurabete, anata ha dou chigatte oshigoto ga dekimasu ka” (他の人と比べて、あなたはどう違ってお仕事が出来ますか/ほかのひととくらべて、あなたはどうちがっておしごとができますか).
This is a difficult question to answer, however you can emphasise your unique talents.For many positions, the interviewer will want to know how you rate your communication abilities as a personal quality or strength, therefore they may ask:
• “If you think of a new idea, how would you convince your superior about it?”
“atarashii aidia ga detekita toki, dou joushi ni settoku shi, nattoku shite moraimasu ka.” (新しいアイディアが出てきた時、どう上司に説得し、納得してもらいますか/あたらしい あいでぃあがでてきたとき、どう じょうしにせっとくし、なっとくしてもらいますか).
The following are the most important aspects of this question: アイディアが出てきた時 and 上司に説得し、納得して, which indicate to you that it’s all about having a good concept and convincing others of it. It’s a good idea to think of a previous example to include in your response.
The following is an example of an interview question that might take many individuals off guard:

• “What are your qualifications?” How would they be beneficial to the company?”
“anata no benefitto ha nan desu ka. Youni kaisha ni kangen dekimasu ka” Sore wo dono youni kaisha ni kangen dekimasu ka”” (あなたのベネフィットは何ですか。それをどのように会社に還元出来ますか/あなたの べねふぃっと はなんですか。それをどのように かいしゃに かんげんできますか).
The issue is with the word benefit, which may lead you to believe this is a rhetorical question.They’re asking about job benefits, but they really want to know how you’d benefit the company.

Finally, as a foreigner, they may be curious about your Japanese abilities and may ask:

• “Please tell us about your Japanese level.”
“anata no nihongo no reberu wo oshiete kudasai“ (あなたの日本語のレベルを教えて下さい/あなたの にほんごのれべるをおしえてください).
You can answer this with information about your Japanese Your academics, any JLPT examinations you’ve taken, and any related experiences are all important factors to consider. Of course, the ideal method to ace the interview is to speak flawless Japanese the entire time!
Your accomplishments
The interviewers could also want to learn more about any accomplishments you highlighted in your application or during the interview. After that, you’ll be asked the following question:

• “Please tell us about anything you’ve accomplished. How did you achieve it?”
“Ima made no shigoto de tassei shita koto wo oshiete kudasai (Ima made no shigoto de tassei shita koto wo oshiete kudasai). Mata, sono purosesu wo oshiete kudasai” (今までの仕事で達成したことを教えて下さい。また、そのプロセスを教えて下さい/いままでのしごとで たっせいしたことをおしえてください。また、そのぷろせすをおしえてください).
This question refers to what you’ve accomplished so far, as well as the steps you took to get thereIt’s critical to have particular responses ready.. It’s very important to have prepared specific answers. You can, for example, discuss how you oversaw a team that met its sales goals – but you must also clarify what those goals were, how they were met, and the value of teamwork throughout the process.
The keyword to remember here is 達成 as you may also hear this word if the interviewer wants to ask about other kinds of achievements.

Be prepared to get personal.

Personal questions

The interviewer may finish with some questions that are a bit more general and personal, such as:
• “What are your thoughts about your career? What kind of work are you looking for?”
“kongo no kyaria wo dou kangaete imasu ka? Kongo dono youna pojishon de, dou itta shigoto ga shitaidesu ka” (今後のキャリアをどう考えていますか。今後どのようなポジションで、どういった仕事がしたいですか/こんごのきゃりあをどうかんがえていますか。こんご どのような ぽじしょんで、どういったしごとがしたいですか).
They’re asking you what you think about your career and what kind of job you’d like to have in this scenario. It’s preferable if you match your response to the requirements of the position you’ve applied for.
They could also like to know a little bit about your hobbies:

• “What is your favourite pastime?”
“shumi ha nan desu ka“ (趣味は何ですか/しゅみはなんですか).
You should be on the lookout for the word, and you can respond with anything pertinent about yourself and your interests..
posing questions to the interviewer

At the end of an interview, ask at least a couple of questions, such as why the position became empty, what kind of person would be effective in the work, and for additional information about the role. When asking any and all questions, you must ensure that you utilise polite terminology.

End the interview on a high note

When the interview is over, you must rise up again and sit next to your interviewer.ur chair and say a simple:
• “Thank you very much.”
“doumo arigatou gozaimashita” (どうもありがとうございました)
You then bow, walk to the door, turn around and say “失礼します /しつれいします” while bowing.After you’ve passed through the door, you should bow once more right before closing it.

The post Japanese Interview questions Sample 2 first appeared on Nihogomax Blog.

It will be easier for you to get a part-time job in Japan if you are open to a variety of tasks such as cleaning, making beds, washing dishes, working as a grocery employee, a restaurant waiter, an assistant to a photographer, or a YouTuber, and so on.

Your Japanese language school in Japan will come in handy in this situation. They’ll set up an interview for you, and even if you don’t know much Japanese, you’ll most likely be employed (For jobs like cleaning the floor, making beds, doing the dishes, or factory work like carrying boxes, Waiter in a restaurant, Assistant to a Filmmaker or a YouTuber, worker at a Food- packaging house, etc).

Many feel …. What….. ? I will do these kinds of Jobs? They don’t suit my status…

But believe us when we say that these jobs are not deteriorated and that they pay well in Japan. In Osaka, the average (jikyuu- meaning hourly salary) is 990-1000 Yen, while in Tokyo, it is 1000-1100 Yen. On a student visa, however, there is a weekly maximum of 28 hours.

The officer will explicitly write and point out to you when you receive your residence card that since you are on a student visa YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED 28 HOURS OF PART-TIME WORK IN A WEEK (you will find people who will allow you to work beyond this limit but I would suggest that don’t fall for such things as it is clearly illegal).

I asked him if he knew of any job openings (I was actually looking for teaching positions), we exchanged phone numbers, and the next day he offered me one at his restaurant. I had my first part-time job in Japan without even having an interview.

I worked there for only a few days and explained to the owner how I was looking for something else. My second バイト was at a pre-school. There too, I worked for only a few days since again it was not what I was looking for (it was actually a babysitting job and it was cute at first but it did not fit my job description).

Part-time work in Japan is, like any other thing, quite well organized.

The steps would be

1. You apply for the job
2. You will get a call. They will ask you a series of questions, including whether or not you are fluent in Japanese.
3. You will be contacted for an interview (in most cases they would ask you to wait for a week at least, but of course, exceptions are always there)You will be contacted again (if you are chosen) to discuss things like work schedules, day-offs, and so on.
4. You will be called again (if you are selected of course) to discuss things like work timings, day-offs, etc.
5. If you are not chosen, you will be notified via phone, text, or email.

I would advise you to pursue a job that you are passionate about rather than one that pays well (although most students are just looking for money). Why do I say this? For starters, these professions will drain you. Second, it is preferable to establish a strategy. For example, suppose you desire to work as a permanent teacher in Japan. Look for something that is similar to part-time job in this scenario. This will add to your experience and show prospective employers that you are serious about your work.

There are a number of places where you can look for arubaito of your choice :

1. Our series
2. Many apps like Baitoru Mainabi baito
3. Through your school
4. Ask a friend
5.On stations, magazines and newspapers are provided for free (would require good Japanese to read these)
6. Be like me, visit a restaurant (a convenience store or a supermarket) and ask for a job

Some of the Common Questions answered in this Article:
1. Who is eligible to apply for Japan Study Visa?
2. What are the requirements?
3. Why is it advised to go to Japan on a student visa first and not a work visa directly?
4. What are the steps for foreigners to reach permanent work in Japan?
5. What is the best time to apply?
6. What are the Dos and Don’ts while applying for Japan Study Visa?

Answers are very important to understand before applying for Japan Study Visa:

Usually, the visa for student processing for a Japanese language course in Japan takes around 6 months for the whole procedure starting from:

1. Interview with school
2. Documents verification
3. Forms filling
4. Translation of academic documents
5. Purpose of Study writing in both languages
6. Guarantor verification
7. Bank statement verification
8. Translation of bank documents
9. ID Number generation
10. COE issuance
11. Visa application and Tickets confirmation

This procedure starts with sending out applications to Japanese universities and being accepted by them, after the interview, including a number of visa-related documents approval. Also required is regular coordination with the processing school and the Japanese embassy in your country.

Also, See How to apply for Japan Study Visa

There are many other points which the student applicant must be careful about, like:

• Spelling and Dates in forms filled should not mismatch with your original document
• Your purpose of the study should match your future vision and with past experience or education
• Your interview answers should match your form information
• Your ability of Japanese language till basic study of at least 150 hrs
• While applying for the Japan visa you should be prepared with basic Japanese cultural information
• Well preparation of the reasons, like why is not your education ample enough to be able to study in Japan, or why not the amount in your guarantor bank is not enough that shows he is capable enough to sponsor you for the whole tenure, or what about the recommendation letter, that Japanese embassy is particular about.

Also, See Japanese language Study for Visa

There are mostly two intakes by the Japanese education system:

• For most Japanese schools in Japan, intake is in April and October only
• Some schools often have starting dates in January and July as well, but they don’t offer the cheap courses
• One more important point to keep in mind is how you can justify your date of admission to the immigration office
• That means it should match with your current education and your future goal

For long term courses on a student visa:

1. You need to apply approximately 6 months in advance to most language schools due to the lengthy visa application procedure.
2. If you want to study in Senmon-Gakko or Technical course in Japan you will usually need to take a Japanese language exam to show that you can fulfill their requirements.
3. The fee is higher as compared to language study in Japan through a Senmon-Gakko and it usually demands N2 with particular experience in the field you are going to apply for
4. It is therefore recommended better to apply for 1-year programs like Japanese language study in Japan before proceeding to a long-term particular field college in Japan.

Why is it advised to go to Japan on a student visa first and not a work visa directly?

There are a few reasons we can guide you to take the study visa path first.

1 It is safe: It is more likely that you get a Japanese student Visa compared to Japan work visa. Reason why?

• The company may or may not directly hire you in Japan if you don’t have experience of Living in Japan
• Japanese immigration is very strict for those companies as well who are hiring resources from foreign countries on a sole ability basis.
• You may take time justifying your abilities to Visa authorities and to Japanese companies which lead you to demotivation of leaving the process. You need at least JLPT N2

2. It is cost-effective: It may seem that we will earn in Japan and how can it be cost-effective when we choose to study in Japan first and then choose to work in Japan? However, the secret is, in your initial stages you can always start with a Part-time Job in Japan and earn your living while learning the Japanese language without getting money from your Home-country. While in case of finding a full-time job in Japan you have to first invest in your first month and that can be more expensive than you have planned.

3. It is Easy:  JLPT N5 cleared can apply for Japan Study Visa. You don’t need to gather any extra type of skills or experience in the Japanese language field. Always you can take up a Part-time Job in Japan or full-time Job in Japan once you have spent few time in Japan.

4. It’s feasible: Once you have the complete knowledge of living and spending money in Japan, Now you can adjust to the ever-changing environment in Japan and the information you provide to your Japanese hirer will quickly ensure that you are well versed in the Japanese language as well as the culture of Japan with Japanese business mannerisms

Dos and Don’ts in case of applying for Japan Study Visa:

1. Don’t ever boast about your guarantor’s income. Immigration is very strict in case of proof of income.
2. Don’t try to cover up information in a hurry that you don’t know. Always keep a record of your whole present  and history because every single information you provide must have a document.
3. Don’t think that if you have a visa of any other country, they will give you a visa for Japan too.
4. Your purpose of study be it in written form or in a verbal interview, should have all the valid reasons
5. Do make a checklist of all the documents in case of sending the set of photocopies to Japan
6. Your photographs should not be older than 1 month
7. No cutting or conceal inking on the forms filled.

Programming rescued many Japanese students when it came to getting a High Salary Job in Japan.

Prerequisites to become a computer programmer:

• Basic English (as written here)
• Hi-fi Japanese (Since you are going to Japan)
• Basic knowledge of operating mouse and keyboard
• Motivation and zeal to become a programmer as well as a Japanese learner
• Always look up to the target of earning Millions by learning both the skills (Many have done it already)

Now let’s take a look at 5 the steps

Step 1:- Target setting:

To earn $1000 a month first by programming (in your Home-country). 

It is really possible to earn $1000 a month solely by programming.

• You can make websites software solutions for people. We are not talking about big companies but these days many individuals have the same demand of building their websites or enhancing them for sales of their product.
• Or even there is a huge market for Digital promotion or content writing in which you can use the programming skills that you can learn in just a few months and start earning $1000 or even $5000 a month.
• Programming is a tool that makes life easier and the fundamental idea is to reduce the difficulty of life.
• If all the contents given here are followed honestly, earning $1000 or even $5000 a month is not at all difficult by programming.

Few reasons why [Earning $1000 a month] is easy with programming in Japan

www.freelancer.com

For example, in the case of the above projects, the usual payment is about $100 to $200 to create a Single-page website. An expert can make it in about 3 hours. An absolute beginner like you (after learning coding for 3 months) can make it in one or two days.

www.scrimba.com

The above site gives about $500 to $1000 for 5-page website production. In addition, if the customer is satisfied, it leads to continuous demand for further modifications and updates that can lead to your continuous income. A normal software developer may take a week to build and an Absolute beginner can do it in two to three weeks.

There are a wide variety of projects in the world, and if you accumulate experience as a programmer, your income is very much likely to increase to $500 a month within one or two months of implementation. Also, programming is an ever-growing industry, and since the Coronavirus pandemic, the demand for programmers (be it work from home or work from the office), has increased manifolds in Japan.

So it has become more advisable to learn and start earning from a skill that has an ever-growing demand in Japan.

This is all about your Goal setting. However, you can customize this timeline as per your need and your time availability according to employability in Japan.

Other Essential Employability Skills for Japan:

Be organized.
Arrive to work on time, or early.
Be responsible and answerable to your work.
Have a positive attitude towards work.
Complete tasks on time and accurately.
Seek out information from your Japanese counterparts to improve your skills.
Be a listener. Soon you will realize, the Japanese work style is highly detail-oriented.

Now let’s see the second point.

Step 2:- Basic preparation:

Get a personal computer

A common question asked from beginners is: What kind of computer should I get?

Conclusion: If you’re comfortable investing, buy a 13-inch Macbook Pro

Reread: It is completely OK if you have a simple Windows PC. The only requirement is that it should be in good condition for 2 to 3 years if you want to be an engineer, and you want to achieve a $1,000 a month income.

Why the 13-inch Macbook Pro is recommended?

For programming, Mac is a standard, and the reason why “Pro 13 inch” is recommended is as follows.

1. On the Mac, there are plenty of programming apps (most engineers in the world love the Mac).
2. Intuitive operation increases productivity (once you use a Mac, you can’t go back to Windows anymore)3.
3. The 13-inch Macbook Pro has high enough specs and a good screen size (it’s also convenient to carry).
4. Needless to say, Japan has a great Love for Apple devices and there is a common norm in Japanese society to have Apple products. It has built their ecosystem.

There is no problem programming on Windows. However, many engineers around the world use Macs. So, when you search for something you don’t understand, the information for Mac users is often popular on search engines.

Step 3:- Basic understanding:

What is programming in the first place?

If we explain the work of programming, it is like “the work of giving instructions to a personal computer”.

Your PC according to the instructions given by you. So isn’t it great to have the job of ordering a computer? And that too sitting in Japan? Earning in Millions?

Most Important Questions:

1. Do you have a recommendation about language?

This question has been asked about 100 times, and the answer is, “It is best to start with web-based languages.”

2. Now what is a web-based language?

It is HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Python or PHP.

3. Why web-based languages ​​are recommended?

Because they are easy to learn and easy to start earning with.

As here our goal of programming learning is “To earn by programming” and then find a job in Japan. So, in order to do it more quickly, it’s better to choose “Web system”.The web industry has an enormous future. For this reason, please see The future of the Web industry with reasons

By the way, if you look at the explanations so far,

you may think that HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Python or PHP

…This is too much…
…Learning HTML/CSS/Javascript… Along with learning the Japanese language?
…It’s absolutely impossible…” (It’s Fine to think like this)

But Listen…

If you learn HTML, then CSS will become easy to understand if you learn CSS, then JavaScript will become easy to understand if you learn JavaScript, then PHP will become easy to understand and so on…

Step 4:- Learning the procedure:

Let’s quickly jump over HOW you can start learning programming/coding

If you want to learn HTML and CSS → Learn the basics of HTML & CSS as per articles, reference books, and videos. If you think you have a good understanding of it, consider making your own small website.

If you want to learn JavaScript → Learn the basics of JavaScript according to articles, reference books, and videos. If you think you have a good understanding of it, try making something that works.

If you want to learn PHP → Learn the basics of PHP as per articles, reference books, and videos. If you feel that you understand it to some extent, try to make something that works in the front-end as well as the backend (Like storing the data input by users of your website). 

That’s it. You are now a programmer. (Earning $1000/month)

Now you are ready for pitching yourself to JAPAN.
