A few months back when I started researching about finding a job in Japan, I hit a wall.   In the beginnings I research by myself on the Internet on how to find a job as well as I I've tried to get as many information as possible from other people - but every time I opened a new page there were a lot of comments saying that it was very hard and some of them said it was impossible. 

Just reading those comments I started to panic, and as I tried to find a job by myself, I could confirm those comments by myself. Even though there were some helpful websites on guiding foreign people how to find a job, but I was still pretty much lost, and I couldn't use it in real life.

This time went by I considered consulting with other people around me on what to do and then one person suggested to me that there are employment private schools who help people to find their way. I was intrigued by that idea and started to look for different private schools. There were actually a few of them but they either were a little bit too weird for me or they didn't have any experience with foreign students which I didn't feel comfortable with. But that's when I found “Shikou” private school which has experience with foreign people. 

After consulting with some of my other friends I've come to a conclusion that this private school looks very good, and I got a good feeling about it, so I wrote him an e-mail. They responded quickly and they were ready to help whenever I needed it. And this was the time when my job hunting really started to bloom and I could move forward.

With the help of many teachers, I could learn a lot about job finding in Japan, as well as I could practice my Japanese and the way how to speak in an interview. Every one of them was calm and nice and helped me as much as I needed it. Because of my personal busy schedule sometimes I couldn't answer them, or I needed to cancel something but all of them understood my circumstances and without any changes in the heart they patiently waited for me, and we continued to the next time I was available.

A few weeks passed by as I conducted a few meetings, interviews, and practice with the teachers, and finally after a long journey I could find a job. Now, looking back at my journey I’m happy that I have chosen this path. It made my job-hunting experience less scary; I could learn about this business world in Japan, I could practice Japanese as well as I could try something new.

If somebody of you is trying to find a private school, I would recommend this one. It could be a rocky way to your goal, but the teachers will give their best to come to a happy end.
