How to Find a Job

By Emika Uetake

It is not difficult to find a job if you make good use of the Internet, an employment bureau, classified ads of a newspaper or magazine, and so on.

Using the Internet is the easiest way to find a job. If you find a part-time job, using the Internet is very useful. Perhaps it is only in Japan that almost all part-time jobs can be found on the Internet. When I was working, I found the job on the Internet, too. You can also find a lot of full-time jobs. But if you want to find a full-time job, I recommend an employment bureau. There are more full-time jobs there than on the Internet. And staff there judge what the nice job for you is. They look at your life, skill, experience, and education. Howerver, almost all employment bureaus are crowded because a lot of people lost their jobs due to the depression. So probably you wait less than an hour when you go there. Then, you should buy a newspaper. There are some classified ads in that. The Internet can't be trusted very much because of so many jobs on it and some companies have criminal working conditions. But newspapers have a big trust. So maybe you can find a job more peacefully than on the Internet.
