  • Where you would like to work?

  • What kind of job would it be?

  • When would you like to go?

  • Why you want to work there?

Working in a different country, I believe, changes the life of an individual for good. If I were given a choice, I would opt for Japan.

One of the main reasons why I would be excited to go there is it’s known for job opportunities. Well, before I delve deeper I would like to say that Japan is one of the foremost technologically advanced countries in the world. It is one of the second largest “developed economy” and one of the most industrialized nations in the world. I would like to work in the information technology sector as this great country has apparently grown tremendously in the IT sector over the last few decades. In fact, Japanese companies are trying different strategies to woo foreign workers. So, if I ever get an opportunity to work in Japan, I would like to go for it. I have been trying to get a job offer in Japan and if I am successful, I would gladly join anytime.

Japan also has a very good working culture, where everybody treats each other with great respect. This work experience will give me great exposure to the latest developments in my field, and I will be able to use it to better my career prospects after coming back to work in my own country. Finally, I would like to work in this great country because they have a very high salary structure too. A couple of my colleagues have moved to Japan and I have been in touch with them. They share their learning experiences with me and this has motivated me further.

I love their work culture and discipline, hence would prefer to settle there too, if I get an opportunity.
