RIKUNABI Kaigaidaisei (Overseas Students) is ON!!!
-------------------------------------------------------

Students in Japan usually start job-hunting in the fall of their
junior year, when they embark on a succession of career guidance
seminars, company seminars, exams and job interviews. Many receive
job offers as early as a year before graduation. This timing
conflicts with the academic schedules of overseas universities,
making it difficult for their students to participate.

About Rikunabi for Overseas Students [RIKUNABI Kaigaidaisei]
http://kaigai.rikunabi.com [Free Registration]

In order to solve such timing conflict above, Rikunabi for Overseas
Students provides employment information and career fair information
exclusively for job seekers who are fluent in Japanese, English
and/or other languages, studying outside Japan.

Rikunabi for Overseas Students is one of the Rikunabi job-search
Website families and is the job-search Website exclusively designed
for students outside Japan. Candidates should either have or plan to
receive a degree from an overseas university (Bachelor's, an
equivalent or higher) to register and use this Website.
