I really want to move to Japan; what do I do?
Im not sure why the Japanese culture enamours me; perhaps because I lived with Japanese people? Maybe its just foreign to me?
Any idea what I should do to facilitate this move? heck; dont even know what the job market is like! Any comments on options I should explore? Thanks!
Education: BS in Biochem, Phd (soon) in Toxicology. Would ideally like a research and development job.
Many people ask same question almost every day!
If you want to be a post doctoral fellow, it might be able to communicate withn laboratory. But in outside, people don't speak English, so I recommend to learn Japanese language.

Job Interview Tips For Fresh Graduates - Non-text Book Advice (Malaysian Job Market)
At work, they call me uncle. Some do that for the age gap. (I am 29 minus sleeping time, public holidays and Sundays) Some do that because of my clearly visible grey hair. Some do that because of my seniority in the field. (they said my knowledge is stored in my big tummy....goshhhh!)
Those young executives, seek my opinion, mostly in work related problems. From how to make self explanatory reports to how to convince big investment approval. Some even ask for personal questions. (That involved x rated and unrated problems as well)
Being such a busybody and openly available for discussion, I will try my level best to provide answers. But like it or not, my way is not the mainstream way. Just follow my head.
Preparation:
1. Forget about making fashion statement, just stick to the formal look. 1st impression counts.
2. Men, please shave especially when you're going to Japanese company. It reflects your discipline and 5S.
3. Do not speak in other than English unless, the interviewer insist you to speak in Chinese or Japanese etc and you have the ability to speak the languages. Do not go against normality. You cannot follow your head here. Not just yet.
4. Even if you're not so fluent, speak in English. It shows that you have determination.
5. Be on time. It shows that you respect other people time and priorities.
6. Wish your interviewer, shake hand, smile, being polite at this time is crucial. You don't want to spoil their mood do you?
7. Be ready mentally, keeping in mind that there will be a panel of senior officers wanting to know about your readiness for hiring.
8. Check company website for details. You need to do this to show your great interest in the company.
9. Have a copy of resume in your hand for reference. You don't give conflicting data, dates etc during job interview. Its show that you are a careful person.
10. Say some prayers, trust me, you will need it.
11. When interviewer start asking question, look straight into his eyes and answer. It shows that you're confident.
Normal questions and expected answers would be:
Q: Tell us about yourself.
A: Do not tell grandmother history. Make it brief. I am 25 years old. From Sg Petani, Kedah. I just graduated in Engr - Manufacturing, UTM, Skudai. Right now, I am still unemployed and I am looking forward to a challenging career with your organization.
Q: Tell us what do you know about this company.
A: Answer what you know from the website and add something like this, your organization has been in the industry for 20 years (example), with your wide range of quality products and services, strong R & D, I beleived your organization will be my right choice to start a career.
Q: What make you think that you are fit for the job?
A: I have leadership quality. I have lead final project team and achieved the team goalin blah..blah..blah
Use I have done....., I have achieved.... to visualize achievements. Only promote your capability by what you have done and achieved NOT I can do this...., I can do that.....,
Q: Some retro interviewer will ask this nonsense question, What are your strengths and weaknesses?
A: My strengths are:
I always complete my task early, I truly believe in team work, I am loyal, I blah blah blah...
My weakness:
I have one weakness, I can't tolerate indiscipline. I can be very harsh when dealing with this situation. It shows in my face and it cannot turn normal for a long period of time. (there you go..) The point is make your weakness become strength, be creative. You don't tell this retro interviewer that you don't have any weakness at all. You don't want to insult their ego.
