Jobs in Japan

All About Jobs in Japan: Jobsinjapan.com was started in June 1998 by American James Gibbs, who had been living and working in Japan intermittently since 1985. With job seekers and employers demanding more functionality, we compiled their advice and relaunched the site as you see it today. Always free for the job seeker and reasonable—may we say “cheap”—rates for our employers, with some free service!
