◆Previous Results

The “20th Daijob Go Global Career Fair” took place in January 2014 at Shinjuku L-Tower and companies participated from many different industries including IT, Energy, Manufacturing and Logistics/Retail. There were many job openings available for jobs with a high demand for bilingual employees such as salespeople, consultants, systems/technical engineers and marketers. There were 791 attendees (54:46 Japanese to Non-Japanese) and around 80% were able to speak business level English or better. The event was extremely diverse, featuring attendees from 53 different countries (including Japan).

◆Results to a Questionnaire for Exhibiting Companies: "Who is your Perfect Candidate?"

54% of exhibiting companies wanted to hire "staff level" people, while 36% of companies required native Japanese. 89% of companies wanted to hire people capable of speaking at least business level English.

◆Career Fair Attendees

Of the 791 attendees to our previous career fair, 70% had at least 3 years of work experience.

◆Results of a Questionnaire for Attendees: Why do you want to work for a foreign-affiliated or global Japanese company?

An extremely high percentage of people noted that their primary reason for wanting to work in such a company was to "take advantage of their language ability", regardless of where they had worked previously. Other popular reasons included a "high salary" for wishing to work in a foreign-affiliated company, as well as many students and people currently working for a Japanese company wishing to "work overseas". This Career Fair seems to have gathered many students wishing to work abroad.
