betita03 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 What are the exams needed to pass before working in Japan? Do we need to take Japanese language examination before we allow to work in Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akya Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 It depends on what visa you're coming on and what job you wish to do. Most college graduate level jobs require JLPT N1 pass and TOIEC (english) helps a lot. Those companies will also need to sponsor your visa in Japan.I'm here on a college visa and I didn't need to pass any exams to work at Starbucks. I had to get a stamp in my passport to be permitted to work and pass the interview with the store manager though!I know there are some compnaies that require very minimal Japanese skill. Most of these companies however, are based in a different company (eg Philippines) and they have a branch in Japan and employ Filipinos to work there on contracts.
