Share Experience, Work Part-Time in Japan (Japanese-Zero Person Edition)

When I arrived in Japan, ✈️ I got my first job in the month I got there. I did it in a Japanese restaurant.

But because our language was zero, we didn't know anything, we couldn't interact.

So he made it to the back of the kitchen in the morning 9.00-11. 30, had to wash the bathroom, sweep the floor, rub the customer's dining hall, do it alone, mother!! It was very heavy. 🥲

And a 30-minute break. In the afternoon 12.00-15, sometimes the manager switches duties. Some days they wash the dishes. Seriously, the dishes are good. Do it alone.

But the most favorite thing is to do the job of rubbing the table when the customer is finished eating, but it has to meet the customer, which is zero language, the customer asks Macode, confused 🤔, do not understand at all

But here, the money is very good. Working for a few hours, can hit Thai baht for more than a thousand baht, but not suitable for us, and the older people do not like foreign countries like us. The more we can not interact, the more we like to do Power Harassment on us, so we do not endure it. I do not want to wake up to work, so I quit. And this is the beginning that we have to study Japanese well in order to live in Japan to argue better.

After a while, we worked at McDonald Japan. For us, it suits us very well. It suits people whose Japanese language is not stiff. Because we did it in the kitchen. It will have a little bit of English and only remember the kata for the menu.

Our job is to make hamburgers and fry meat. It's fun, but Mac, everything has to be fast.

But here, the job is taught very systematically. The manager who accepted us to work is very kind. And everyone in there is all Japanese. There is no foreign country. Everyone speaks all Japanese. Erm, it's good. But I have to be like, in my heart many times because I can't hear it. At that time, I haven't started learning Japanese seriously.

But teaching the work here, they will give you a manual to read how to do it, but it is all in Japanese. Repeat it all.

I rely on my brother to translate almost all of them, because the language at the time was lame.

Before I go to work, I have to translate and remember the menu so I don't waste time teaching and colleagues. It will get four because it takes speed to work.

When going to work, he will have an iPad to see how to do it again. In case of forgetting while working, we started doing the first time 11.00-15 .00, it was chilly. But at the afternoon, it was gangled. It was also splashed by hot oil in the hand. At first, I still didn't remember the menu and couldn't do it. After the week, OK started having fun because I remember it. This place gives us a very good memory.

... Read moreการทำงานพาร์ทไทม์ที่ญี่ปุ่นในช่วงที่ภาษาญี่ปุ่นยังไม่แข็งแรงนั้นถือเป็นบททดสอบที่ท้าทายและมีคุณค่ามาก เพราะนอกจากจะได้เรียนรู้วัฒนธรรมการทำงานแบบญี่ปุ่นแล้ว ยังช่วยสร้างวินัยและทักษะในการใช้ชีวิตประจำวันอีกด้วย สำหรับผู้ที่ยังเป็นมือใหม่ในการใช้ภาษาญี่ปุ่น แนะนำให้เริ่มจากการเรียนรู้คำศัพท์พื้นฐานเกี่ยวกับหน้าที่การงาน เช่น คำศัพท์ที่ใช้ในครัวหรือในร้านอาหาร ซึ่งจะช่วยให้เข้าใจคำสั่งและวิธีปฏิบัติงานได้ง่ายขึ้น รวมถึงการฝึกอ่านและจำคาตาคานะเพื่อใช้จำชื่อเมนูอาหารก็เป็นสิ่งสำคัญไม่น้อย นอกจากนี้ ระบบการทำงานของร้านอาหารและร้านฟาสต์ฟู้ดในญี่ปุ่นจะสอนตามขั้นตอนอย่างเป็นระบบ มีคู่มือและวิดีโอสอน ทำให้เราสามารถเรียนรู้ได้ด้วยตนเอง ควรใช้เวลาว่างทบทวนและจำรายละเอียดเหล่านี้ เพื่อให้ทำงานได้รวดเร็วและมีประสิทธิภาพ ซึ่งคนต่างชาติที่ยังไม่ชำนาญภาษาญี่ปุ่นมักประสบปัญหาการสื่อสารกับลูกค้าหรือเพื่อนร่วมงาน อย่างไรก็ตาม การพยายามเข้าใจบริบทและใช้ภาษาง่าย ๆ จะช่วยคลี่คลายความตึงเครียดในการทำงานได้ นอกจากนี้ ยังควรหมั่นฝึกภาษาญี่ปุ่นจากชีวิตประจำวันด้วย เช่น การดูรายการทีวี หรือฟังเพลง เพื่อเพิ่มพูนทักษะภาษาอย่างต่อเนื่อง สิ่งที่สำคัญที่สุดคือ ต้องสร้างความมั่นใจและไม่กลัวที่จะถามหรือขอคำปรึกษาจากเพื่อนร่วมงาน การมีทัศนคติที่ดีและความพยายามเรียนรู้จะช่วยให้ชีวิตการทำงานพาร์ทไทม์ในญี่ปุ่นเป็นไปอย่างราบรื่นและสนุกสนานยิ่งขึ้น ท้ายที่สุด ประสบการณ์การทำงานที่ญี่ปุ่นไม่ได้เป็นเพียงแค่เรื่องของการหาเงิน แต่ยังเป็นโอกาสทองที่ช่วยพัฒนาทักษะชีวิต และเสริมสร้างความแข็งแกร่งทางจิตใจต่อการใช้ชีวิตในต่างแดนอีกด้วย

A view from a train window shows a Japanese city with traditional rooftops under a partly cloudy sky. Text highlights bullet trains' speed (186-200mph) and efficiency, noting a 13-minute Osaka-Kyoto trip versus an hour by local train.
