Improving Your Chances

It’s always a plus in improving one’s knowledge of a foreign language, in this case being Japanese. Before leaving your country of residence, it would be wise to brush up on your language skills because it can come in handy.

Make sure everyone around (family, friends) knows where you’re going and what you plan to do. That way, word can travel to those who might be able to give you a leg up on job applications. The more publicized your plans, the better.

 Once you arrive in Japan, ask fellow travelers for their tips on short-term job hunting. Most of them will freely offer what information they have and will even help you in your quest.
