Newspapers? Which ones?

organizations?

Thanks in advance for your participation

Hi all! I'm currently living in Japan, working as an English teacher with the JET Program. I've written a couple articles that might help people in their job search. One is "10 Websites That Will Help You Find a Job in Japan,"
The other is specifically for finding a teaching job: "How to Get a Job Teaching in Japan."
I can also try to answer any specific questions people have about job-hunting.
Good luck!

For websites, try the following:

http://www.gaijinpot.comhttp://www.jobsinjapan.comhttp://jobs.japantimes.jp/ - this one is the online page for the national newspaper the Japan Times

For recruiters the names I've heard that have a good reputation are Michael Page, Robert Walters, and Hayes - there are others that have a more dubious reputation.

Honestly I'd say the best way to find a job in Japan if you're not looking for a teaching gig is to know somebody - develop a network of people over here.
