(extracts from the speech)
- Graduating Hokkaido Univ. graduate school in 2008, I joined Temjin Co., Ltd producing documentary programs for NHK. Temujin’s programs are typically focused on history, landscapes and social problems of China.
- I majored in Mass Media at a Japanese graduate school, but it is quite difficult for foreigners to get a job in Japanese media industry. Moreover my 2nd year in Master course kept me busy with making my original documentary video. So I scarcely had any time for job hunting.
- It was right before my graduation that I worked for Temjin as a coordinator of a team collecting material for a TV program. That brought me to my present post after taking an employment exam. I think for myself I am a lucky girl. Now I will give you 3 hints. I personally believe these three can make your job-hunting in Japan easier.
- Japanese language-
If you are a student of Arts, you have to be fluent in Japanese language. Business starts with mutual understanding, so you have to understand your customer’s request and also make him/her understand your idea and purpose in Japanese. What you must do is to grab every chance to practice Japanese.
- Do what is special in your school days-
As I mentioned (in B), I made a 32 minute documentary video for myself in my 2nd year in Master course. The video shooting took me to remote places in Hokkaido even Japanese people rarely visit. I experienced -42°C, the coldest temperature in Japan after World War 2. Talking about this documentary film surely conveyed my zeal for program producing to the interviewers in the exam to Temjin. Your uniqueness will make you a rising star in the department.
- Keep seeking for the possibility.-
I once failed in a secondary–stage exam to a Japanese broadcasting company. Born in China, it was beyond my ability to report elections in Japan. When I almost gave up, I noticed several Chinese directors names in the ending of my favorite BS documentary films. I found out that foreign staff is needed not only for communication but also for trusting relationship to the people in China to collect materials on the field. Finally I saw the company name, Temjin. Even a little information can give you a hint in job hunting.
- If you are going to work in Japan, try to get the job you can enjoy. Without a job he /she enjoys, no one can bear working in a company for long. Especially in this grim economic situation today, you will meet a lot of hardship even you get the job you prefer. Don’t compromise when deciding the company or institute
