\nPosted by:<\/strong>\u00a0JETAA International – After JET Podcast<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The After JET podcast\u00a0features a series of discussions\u00a0with the JET alumni community, on things such as careers after JET, projects and life in general.\u00a0It is hosted by Eden Law, a JET alumni from Sydney Australia, a member of JETAANSW, President and Country Representative.<\/p>\n

He has\u00a0recently created two podcasts on Finding an IT Career in Japan.<\/p>\n

Finding an IT Career in Japan: Part I<\/a><\/span>:\u00a0<\/strong>Job hunting in Japan? Looking for IT roles? Join me as I talk to John Littlefair-Molin, a software engineer in Osaka, and Evan Storer, an e-discovery service specialist, in Tokyo. Also joining the discussion are Andy Shartzer and Tierra Tank, two final year JETs. See below for resources.<\/p>\n

In this first part, we discuss whether language proficiency is important (watch out for keigo!), IT career options, on the job training, working conditions in Japan. We also discussed different contracting options, and the importance of checking your work contract, and about recruitment agents – which is probably a good time now to add the disclaimer that any opinions expressed are purely that of the\u00a0speaker, and may not necessarily reflect the official or personal stance of everyone else.<\/p>\n

Finding an IT Career in Japan: Part II<\/a><\/span>:<\/strong>We continue our discussion about job hunting in Japan (in IT). In this 2nd part, we talk about online job searching, the intricacies of preparing a Japanese-style resume, and also the interview experience. Quite a lot of terminology here, which you can see explained below. As last time, participating in this discussion are John Littlefair-Molin, a software engineer in Osaka, and Evan Storer, an e-discovery service specialist, in Tokyo. Also joining the discussion are Andy Shartzer and Tierra Tank, two final year JETs. Useful resources at the end of this page.<\/p>\n
