How to succeed in Japan (personal)

How to succeed as an individual in Japan !
Not to become extremely rich but more how to get in Japan, get "integrate" and enjoy the life here with a regular job (not a teacher job).
You have to know that japanese care a lot about the society opinion, everything will be done regards what the society will say.

1) you need to learn Japanese, written and spoken.
You have to know first that 90% of Japanese don't speak English.

2) you need a proper working visa (spouse visa, working visa, working holiday)

3) you need to be clear with your job target. In Japan every person as his own role, you need to fill a role that does exist in the society.

4) you need experience in the job you are targeting, japanese don't like to take risk, they will not give you a chance if you don't have any experience !

5) respect the rule of Japanese society, older you are more knowledgeable you are (supposely) ! even they are wrong you have no choice to respect it !

6) Some order from your boss will be sometimes incoherent, but if they have been working that way for many year, that's the way it is. don't discuss an order from the boss directly. wait till the end of the day and make it discretely. never in front of other employee. no confrontation !

7) Don't expect to finish you work at the time stipulate in your contract. if you have a lot of job, you stay late.

8) And very important !!! in Japan not everything has a reason ! sometimes things seems ridiculous, but they have been working that way for many years, they won't change it.

I hope I could help a bit !

The Japanese society is very old, the way they processing the information is quiet slow and sometimes painful, but hey, they the second strongest economy in the world, I still don't understand why ! hehe

Enjoy
