In Dubai
I want to work in a Korean cafe
America is already developed. I would like to go to India and similar...
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese, it's Cathy Cat.
This time we are gonna go and ask Japanese people if they could work in a foreign country
where they would like to work and what kind of work is attractive to them
that might be available in a different country... whop
I am looking forward to finding out more about that and maybe your country is amongst the countries they would like to
go to. Before we move on, don't forget, please subscribe
give the notification bell a ring and give us a like. Let's head on and Ask Japanese.
I want to become the wife of a rich oil baron in Dubai.
Haha. - I guess its just as tough as working
to get used to a different culture. - First I would learn the works and what
a wife has to do. - What would you learn?
I don't think I can't become the wife of an oil baron without cooking the food of Dubai.
Also the language. - As a theory, if your husband could have several wives in Dubai...
would you be ok with that?
Many other wives? I guess I am ok with that. Belongs to the culture there.
So I would try to adjust to the countries culture and religion.
I would like to work in fashion sales in Korea.
Like a buyer. The reason why I chose Korea is...
I am half Korean. In Japan, Korean fashion is
popular right now. I would buy it there and sell it in Japan.
I would pick things depending on the trends and what I like
like that. - Wow you are thinking practically. Does this make you want to revise your statement?
Yeah I am embarrassed now
The first country I could think of is...
see I love the Moomins. I would like to work at Moomin World in Finland.
What image do you have of Finland? - That its very cold there
But the air will be better than in Tokyo.
What work do you want to do at the theme park? - I want to be a guide rather than
a character. More like a staff member to support the guides.
I want to work at a Korean cafe. I want to meet celebrities
That's my wish. - Ulterior motives there. - At a cafe...
many guests will visit. I have seen that from Korean Dramas. They all seem to
drink coffee there. - There are so many coffee scenes in K Dramas.
Working at a cafe and meeting a famous person! Imagine you are waitressing...
and your celebrity crush came in. What would happen? - I would act normally
I would pretend as if I don't know him.
But inside I would be feeling a lot of things.
When handing him water, your hand would be shaking.
Me, personally...
I watched "The Devil Wears Prada". Abroad people might think
that the protagonist works too much but from a Japanese perspective
we just think that that job is really cool.
Working in New York for a fashion magazine.... That's the dream.
I wish I could do that. - Choosing the cover photo? - Yes and such
and selecting what is cute or what trend will be popular.
I want to choose that. Merrill Streep was so cool.
America and such is already fully developed but I would like to go to India and...
I want to sell small accessories there.
I want to work in America or Europe.
I want to go there. Especially countries in which
I can use and work in English. Great experience.
I also want to earn cash ... and go to Los Angeles. - Oh LA!
Why? - When saying "the country of freedom!" there is only the USA.
I want to visit Hollywood. - Where do you want to work in LA?
What do you want to do? - I want to work in Media
In front of the camera or behind?
Behind... I am too shy for front. I would talk with the locals....
and laugh. I wanna joke around together. - What image do you have
of working in the USA? - That it will be fun for body and soul.
So in the USA and abroad...
I would like to find out what different work values people have.
I want to go to Taiwan, because they have lots of Tapioca Milk teas.
You like them? - Yes. - What work will you do?
Work at a milk tea place. - Thank you for taking part in the interview.
On that note guys I often get asked what kind of jobs there are here in Japan. Of course there is
a broad variety of jobs but let me tell you the 3 most common jobs
that are happening here and are open to foreigners in Japan
those are pretty much also the jobs that most of my friends are doing that are living here in Japan.
The most most common job that most people come here with
who are foreigners and wanna live here for a couple of years and maybe get some experience
for one year is generally: Yes you know it! Teaching.
Teaching English is one of the biggest chances and one of the
I wouldn't say easy but one of the most common jobs that foreigners can get in Japan
especially if you are a native speaker.
However if you're teaching don't forget
you might be able to come here at first, maybe with a certain type of visa but in order to
stay longer and save you a lot of hassle, you should generally go through university
because even if it might work for one year you might have a lot of struggles if you
don't have a degree. A degree will help you to stay longer in Japan if you plan to
do that. If you just come here for an experience for a short time, many people take that time
to maybe just study or do Working Holiday here in Japan. Number 2 are again
foreigner related jobs and that is travel and tourism. The first one is
giving language skills to Japanese people, the second is in the service in those
where people are needed that speak different languages that have knowledge about different countries
and cultures as well as maybe being able to help people from other countries
come to Japan or travel or while they are there traveling. So tourism
I know a lot of foreigners who work in that industry as well. Number 3 that is
one of you really are a clever cookie and you are
really good with numbers and programming because IT is still a good
industry for foreigners to come here. I see a lot of foreigners who
are going into the big business buildings for their IT skills. Now
IT is something you have to have something to show for if you wanna work here in
Japan and again, Japanese language skills are very much appreciated. While
teachers that come here to Japan sometimes can get away with not knowing much Japanese
if you work in a proper Japanese office, also in Tourism, especially
in It you will need some Japanese skills to at least talk to your colleagues
and also get advice or help from them. This is another thing
where a lot of foreigners are working in. I'm not saying these are easy to get in. I think tourism
and IT is a lot harder to get in than teaching but these are some of the jobs that foreigners here in Japan
are doing. I hope this helped you guys. Any questions let us know in the comment
