Japan Rant

I am looking for a job at the moment and a Japanese friend suggested I go to “Hello Work”. Hello work is a government run place to help people find work in Japan.

My experience with Hello Work is that no one in the office could speak English and there are little or no jobs for foreigners. Their job search system is bilingual but it is a waste of time. I came home disillusioned from my Hello Work experience and searched on the internet if any other foreigners had used Hello Work.

I found a story about a guy who found a job at Hello Work writing the English for a Japanese porn site!
