What kind of job can someone who doesn’t speak Japanese do

  • September 7, 2025

I’m half Japanese but I’m still at N5 level . I’m also a first year student at a university . What kind of job can I apply to except warehousing jobs and it’s a day time job too

  1. Full time job maybe English teaching and recruiting are the first ones that come to my mind.

    Part time, probably conbini or loading unloading or truck driving if you can get the license.

  3. English teaching and IT will be your best bets. But both are known to be soul crushing jobs with lower than average pay. While you’ll certainly make *much* more working in IT, you’ll be expected to work long overtime hours (I have friends who have to be on call 24/7 for a week at a time including weekends for example) to earn that money. And for both paths, you’ll be robbing yourself of any opportunity to improve your Japanese as you get older as you will be surrounded by foreign coworkers and English speaking staff. Kiss goodbye to any true Japanese immersion.

    You still have time! Ganbatte!!
