How to apply for IT Jobs in Japan?

How to find part-time "baito" jobs in Tokyo, Japan?

• I'm a first-year university student at Waseda University, and I'm looking for a part-time job, or baito. I speak German, Japanese and English, and though my Japanese writing/readings are by no means perfect, I do speak it fluently. I'm looking for something where I can use my language skills, which includes jobs like teaching (English/German), translation (English-Japanese) or Eikaiwa (English conversation practice). I'm also very interested in anything media, such as TV, newspapers and film. How do I start a search for jobs like this? My Japanese reading isn't very good, so I have a hard time navigating japanese sites... Any help is appreciated :)

  First of all, since you're in Tokyo, you might find jobs that are related to TV, etc, but I am not sure if they would hire university students. Maybe as temps or they will give you small jobs, or something, I'm not really sure. It's easier to get a job teaching at a juku. Besides most jukus are on the evenings, so it would be good for your schedule, I guess. Translation in English-Japanese is rarely needed nowadays. If you want to work at an eikaiwa, they might consider hiring you since you seem to be very fluent in English. Although I don't know many places where they hire students. I taught eikaiwa to kids ranging from 1( yeah, can you believe that :/) upto 11 yrs, but only during the summer, just as a sub. But I get to do that only because I had a friend. She asked me in for a favor, which is actually very good of her. There are websites like the person above me posted. I suggest j-sen, which is good. Have you considered working in restaurants? Or maybe retail stores? I used to work at McDonald's near Nagoya station, so many foreigners come there. I speak English to them when they are clueless.. But now I work at a supermarket, which is good though less foreigners. Have you seen any copies of townwork nearby train stations? I don't know if they have Townwork in Tokyo, but they do have a website. Also why don't you try being a kateikyoushi? Although I think you might need to register online or somewhere so they will call you and give you jobs or something. I'm not sure, but I think there are people who just give away flyers and try to attract students by them instead of joining a company or group. If you're going to teach English, a TOEIC or some English test would be a good asset. Although it might not be necessary.
