Thursday, January 21, 2027 · 7:00 – 9:00 PM JST (GMT+9)
CIC Tokyo, Toranomon Hills Business Tower 15F, 1-17-1 Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo
Thinking about working in Japan, or already here and wondering what's next? Getting hired in Tokyo has its own rhythm. Résumés look different, interviews follow their own etiquette, and the Japanese you need depends a lot on the company. This evening is a frank, friendly conversation with people who have worked it out.
On the agenda
7:00 PM: Doors open, light snacks and introductions
7:20 PM: Fireside chat with a hiring manager at a global tech firm and a foreign engineer who joined a Japanese company
8:00 PM: Small-group tables on rirekisho vs. CV, visa basics, and English-first vs. Japanese-first employers
8:40 PM: Open networking
This is for you if you're an international student, a foreign professional in Japan, a bilingual job seeker, or a recruiter hiring global talent in Tokyo.
Bring a few business cards (yes, people still swap them here) and your questions. Talks are in English, and Japanese speakers are very welcome.
