TOKYO -- Foreign students in Japan are having a harder time securing job offers than Japanese students, a recent survey found, as an unfamiliarity with the country's hiring practices and timetables puts them at a disadvantage.
As of July, 52.5% of foreign college students studying in Japan scheduled to graduate next spring had received a job offer, according to a survey by Tokyo-based job information company Disco. While this marks a 4.5-point year-on-year improvement and the highest figure since the current hiring schedule began in 2017, it still trails far behind the 86% for Japanese students.
