日本企業が外国人人材を採用するときに、どのようなスキルや経験を求めているのでしょうか。

グローバル志向で日本で働くことに興味のある20代人材に明確なイメージを持ってもらうため、求人広告から面接までの応募プロセスの伝統や習慣、そのほか日本の就職活動の特徴についてご紹介します。

外国人就活生がよく抱く疑問

• 文化的感受性の違いについて。異文化の人に何を期待するのか。日本の文化的要素を全面的に取り入れるべきか、それとも独自性を出すために自国の文化を一部残すべきか。
• 不文律や期待されること？早く到着すべきか？過剰に準備すべき？返事がない場合、フォローアップすべき？
• どのような特性が最も重要？成績、経験、言語、適応力、性格、日本文化の知識など。

What kind of skills and experience are Japanese companies looking for when hiring non-Japanese personnel?

In order to give a clear picture to those in their 20s who are globally-minded and interested in working in Japan, I will introduce the traditions and customs of the application process from job advertisement to interview, as well as other characteristics of job hunting in Japan.

Questions that foreign job hunters often have

Differences in cultural sensitivity. What do they expect from people from other cultures? Should I fully incorporate Japanese cultural elements, or should I retain some of my own culture to be unique?

Unwritten rules and expectations? Should you arrive early? Should you be over-prepared? Should you follow up if there is no response?

What characteristics are most important? Grades, experience, language, adaptability, personality, knowledge of Japanese culture, etc.
