How to be a professional worker Hello, Today I'd like to write about the first step to get a job in Japan and the UK. I found a lot of difference to find a first career after graduate school between two countries. In Japan, most of university end their BA and MA courses in March, and New graduates start their first job from 1st April. In general, when students become 4th year students ( final year of Japanese uni) , they starts to find their first job at once. Each company has original Job application desks which open only for new graduates. The application process is completely different from skilled worker. Big companies often start the desks from February and the applications end between spring and end of summer. In October, the companies give official offers to students. Before that, they just give "early unofficial offer" to students until October. For the newly graduates, the companies offer jobs not only one or two students but also sometimes big companies offer the job to over 100 new graduates at one time. Most of cases, the companies does not have "Junior" role and also does not have "trainee" as well. For example, my first career started as "Designer", and even though we received training from older employees, our salary is almost same as 2-3 years experienced workers. In the UK, the companies have a lot of unpaid role for newly graduates. In addition, I heard the students start finding their jobs after graduates. Sometimes the students starts their career as internship trainees , then they will get their junior role after finish internship if they are good worker. In this case, I really like the Japanese system. New graduates tend to not have enough money to live, Earning enough salaries is good to concentrate working at new place without any worry of finance. About my personal circumstance, Now I stop my career at a game industry and become a MA student at a film school. My last role at game industry was lead artist / art director, in the time, I relatively got enough wedge from companies. However, I'm really worried after finish the film school. I don't want to start my career from "un-paid". Hopefully I hope I can successfully convert my role from game to film. But it may be difficult......hmmm

How to be a professional worker

Hello,
Today I'd like to write about the first step IN GETTING a job in Japan and the UK.

I'VE found a lot of differenceS IN HOW TO find a first JOB after graduate school between THE two countries.

In Japan, most universitIES end their BA and MA courses in March, and new graduates start their first job ON April 1st.
In general, when students become 4th year students (THE final year of Japanese uni), they start TRYING to find their first job at once. Each company has original job application desks which ARE open only for new graduates. The application process is completely different from THAT FOR skilled workerS. Big companies often start the desks from February and the applications end between spring and THE end of summer. In October, the companies give official offers to students. Before that, they just give "early unofficial offerS" to students until October.
For the new graduates, the companies offer jobs not only TO one or two students but also sometimes, big companies offer jobS to over 100 new graduates at ONCE.
IN most cases, the companies DO not have "junior" roleS and also DO not have "traineeS" as well.
For example, my first career started as "designer", and even though we received training from older employees, our salary is almost THE same as workers WITH 2-3 YEARS' EXPERIENCE.

In the UK, the companies have a lot of unpaid roleS for new graduates. In addition, I heard students start LOOKING FOR jobs after graduatING. Sometimes the students start their career as internship trainees , then get junior roleS after finishING internshipS if they are good workerS.

In this case, I really like the Japanese system. New graduates tend to not have enough money to live; earning enough MONEY is good SO THAT THEY concentrate working at THEIR new place without WORRYING ABOUT FINANCE.

About my personal circumstance, Now I stopPED my career IN THE game industry and bAcome a MA student at a film school. My last role IN THE game industry was AS lead artist / art director. AT the time, I got RELATIVELY enough wedge from companies. However, I'm really worried ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS after finishING film school. I don't want to start my career from "unpaid". I hope I can successfully convert my role from gameS to film.
But it may be difficult......hmmm
