Work and matters needing attention.
1, working hours
According to Japan's immigration law, in principle, undergraduates and ordinary graduate students should not work more than 28 hours a week in Japan. (Long holidays such as winter vacation and summer vacation 1 day shall not exceed 8 hours).
However, the working hours of the auditees and lecturers in one week shall not exceed 14 hours. (※ 1 day long-term vacation, such as attending lectures, attending lectures, summer vacation, etc., not exceeding 8 hours; 1 day Professional school students and employed students shall not exceed 4 hours).
2. Work permit
According to Japanese law, the visa qualification of international students is study, and those who engage in activities other than visa qualification must apply for a certificate-"work permit beyond qualification" (which is what we call work permit) in order to obtain the qualification for legal work. If you enter the work without a work permit, once it is discovered by the administration, it will be regarded as a black job and will be dealt with seriously.
Tips: International students who enter Japan for the first time with a study visa can apply for activities without qualification at the customs of airports (Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Central International Airport, Kansai Airport) when entering Japan. ※. International students who have entered Japan can apply to the Immigration Bureau where they live. ※.
3. Pay attention to the workplace.
When looking for a job in Japan, you must abide by Japanese laws and regulations. Bad places are not allowed to work, one is a gambling place and the other is a custom place. This applies not only to students in China, but also to all places where foreigners are not allowed to work. Pay more attention when looking for a job in Japan.
If you choose to work part-time.
1, selected according to income.
When international students choose part-time jobs, hourly salary is a very important selection criterion. Generally, the hourly wage level of part-time jobs in a city is relatively average. If you want to choose a well-paid job, you must be prepared for hard work.
So what are these high-paying jobs? For example, handing out leaflets in extreme weather, doing part-time jobs in shops in areas with large passenger flow, or doing part-time jobs in convenience stores during night shifts or early shifts, and the hourly salary is higher than normal.
In addition to these manual labor, students with good Japanese level can also choose some part-time jobs such as translators and Chinese colleges, which can not only exercise Japanese, but also get good pay.
2, according to the language ability to choose
Many students are worried about their poor language skills when looking for part-time jobs. What if they can't communicate? Students in this situation can choose some non-reception jobs that do not need to communicate directly with customers.
For example, some backstage work, cleaning work in izakaya, background lighting work in clothing stores (folding clothes, ironing clothes, etc. ). or some assembly line work in the factory, there is little demand for Japanese.
However, if the language ability is ok, I suggest that students do more work that can communicate in Japanese, so that Japanese can make faster progress in communication ~
3. Choose according to employee benefits.
In addition to the normal salary, part-time jobs in some places can also get additional employee benefits.
For example, some stores offer special discounts to employees. There are also some convenience stores where employees can take away lunch boxes or some processed products that have expired on the same day (not all stores can allow employees to bring expired food, which should be noted). There are some restaurants in the catering industry, where employees can pack meals during working hours and save some living expenses.
How to find a part-time job
1, traditional way
When looking for a part-time job, the most common way is to go directly to the street to find a shop with recruitment tips. This way is relatively direct, and you can also directly feel the distance and time required for commuting in the process of finding a part-time job.
However, this method is also labor-intensive, and carpet search may need to go to many places to select the favorite part-time job.
In addition, if you go directly to the store to find a part-time job, you should pay attention to avoid entering the store for consultation at the peak of the store. You can also write down the phone number and call for consultation when the store is not busy.
2. Media methods
This means that students can choose their favorite part-time job through the recruitment pages of some newspapers and magazines. The advantage of this method is that it can be screened by the classification of media, without going one by one, or without geographical restrictions.
However, we should also pay attention to this method, carefully identify false recruitment notices and avoid being deceived ~
3. Network mode
The last way is online. Students can directly find jobs on special part-time websites or in their favorite enterprises in official website.
This way of updating information is the fastest, and it is not limited by geographical scope. But the disadvantage is the same as the media, which requires students to identify false information.
These are some tips for students to choose part-time jobs when studying in Japan! You can try more different jobs, which can not only improve your language ability, but also integrate into Japanese culture.
