Ready for your next move?

Now is the time to
plan your next career.

"This job isn't the right fit." "I want to earn more."
"I'm worried about visa procedures." — When you're thinking about changing careers while already working in Japan, it's natural to feel uncertain.

Don't worry. Jobee walks alongside you every step of the way—from native-language career counseling and job introductions to interview support, employment contract review, visa updates, moving assistance, and even walking you through your first day. We ensure all visa filings happen within the 14-day deadline, so you never have to worry about missing a deadline.

Start with just one message on LINE. Even if you're at work.

STEP BY STEP

Jobee's 7-step process.

STEP 01 Initial inquiry and registration
01 Takes: 5–15 min

Start with a message, call, or form.

Reach out during your lunch break—whenever works for you. Just tell us your current visa status, whether you're employed or not, and what type of work interests you. Everything you share remains strictly confidential—your current employer will never know.

  • Use LINE, phone, or our contact form—whatever suits you
  • We respond in your native language (8 languages supported)
  • Completely confidential. Your current employer won't find out
STEP 02 Career counseling
02 Takes: 60–90 min

Deep-dive career counseling—your way.

Meet us in person, online, or at a cafe—whatever's comfortable for you.
We explore what you're unhappy with at your current job, your background and qualifications, your salary expectations, your ideal work-life balance, your family situation, and where you see your career in the future—all in your native language. Once we understand what's not working, we can see what will.

  • In-person, online, or coffee shop meetings—your choice
  • Evening and weekend consultations available
  • We listen for your non-negotiable priorities
STEP 03 Job introductions and document preparation
03 Takes: 1–3 days

Tailored job matches and document support.

We introduce you to opportunities that fit your needs, including exclusive positions not posted publicly. We never push you to apply for jobs that don't align with your goals—your fit matters most. For documents, we shape your resume and CV into an effective Japanese format that showcases your strengths.

  • Only positions matching your visa status
  • We review and perfect your resume and CV
  • Side-by-side comparison with your current pay to boost confidence
STEP 04 Company interview and workplace tour
04 Takes: 1–2 weeks

Interviews with support, workplace tours for you.

A Jobee coordinator attends your interview to provide interpretation, clarify the company's questions, and voice any concerns you have.
Because you're already in Japan, you have a unique advantage: we can arrange a workplace tour right after your interview, so you can see the real environment before committing.

  • Our coordinator joins your interview as interpreter and advocate
  • Workplace tour available immediately after the interview
  • Interview multiple companies in parallel
STEP 05 Offer and employment terms review
05 Takes: 2–7 days

Offer review—crystal-clear terms.

Once you have an offer, we review the employment contract in your native language. Salary, hours, days off, paid leave, benefits, contract length— we walk through every detail side-by-side with your current job so you can decide with confidence. "I didn't know about that" will never happen on our watch.

  • All terms provided in writing with native-language explanations
  • Full comparison with your current employment terms
  • You can decline if terms don't align—no pressure
STEP 06 Visa updates, moving, and residency paperwork
06 Takes: 2–4 weeks

Visa updates, moving, and residency—all handled.

Changing jobs in Japan means managing unique tasks.
Employer change notification to immigration (within 14 days), visa status changes if needed, and relocation, address registration, and updating all your accounts— we organize everything into a checklist and keep you on track, with zero missed deadlines.

  • We file your employer change notification within 14 days
  • Immigration attorney support if your visa needs updating
  • We coordinate moving companies and government offices
  • Complete checklist: driver's license, bank, phone, all included
STEP 07 First day at work and ongoing support
07 From day one—ongoing

Your first day—and beyond.

On your first day, a Jobee coordinator walks with you from arrival to departure. We introduce you to your manager and team, help with work instructions, and guide you through the day. After that, we visit monthly or as needed, maintain 24/7 chat support in your native language, and keep supporting you as long as you're building your career in Japan.

  • We're with you on day one, from start to finish
  • Regular workplace visits (1–2 per month, adjusted as needed)
  • 24/7 native-language hotline (LINE and phone)
  • We continue supporting your career growth
