Can I get a job in Japan even if I'm not confident in my Japanese level?

Yes, it's possible. ISI offers Japanese instruction tailored to your level, along with a program that lets you progressively learn business Japanese and the expressions used in interviews. You can build the skills needed for employment while growing your Japanese proficiency.

What makes ISI Japanese Language School's job-hunting support different?

ISI provides one-stop job-hunting support. Many other Japanese language schools outsource job-hunting support to external providers, but at ISI, this support is provided directly by our own teachers. Having a teacher who knows you well provide this support, and the peace of mind of being able to ask questions at any time, leads to better outcomes for everyone. In addition, ISI staff handle everything from reviewing class content to communicating with prospective employer companies, allowing know-how to accumulate within the school and enabling us to provide even better job-hunting support.

Am I a new graduate or a mid-career hire?

This is determined by the company. In general, if you have no prior work experience, you are treated as a "new graduate" for up to 3 years after graduation.
