Hey guys, i’ve been in Japan since March, started applying to full time jobs from April to June and Baitos from June to August.
I’ve done around 15 interviews already but have been rejected for the following reasons:
-no reason or call back
-being bald for a Coffee Shop baito with strict dress code
-not having N1 certificate (front staff hotel)
-asking for more than 5 hours a week (conbini)
-not having a guarantor/保証人 (conbini inside train station, apparently this was a policy from Odakyu)
-not having a resident bank account (100 yen shop, my account is JP Post non resident).
At this point i’m getting super frustrated. It’s almost half a year since coming here and I still can’t land a mere baito. I want to hear stories from people who did WHV AND worked a job in full japanese, not English teaching or IT.
I’ve noticed that everyone in my sharehouse falls into four categories: working remotely for their country, teaching English, IT or no job at all.
Have you done a WHV and worked in a Conbini, etc.? I want to know if i need to change strategy (or go back to my country, lol).
Tell me your experiences, please!
Edit: guys, i’m looking for WHV anecdotes
