Factory worker

Check before you apply

• Whether your residence status permits this kind of work
• Whether the pay, hours, and days off match your wishes
• How to apply and what documents are needed (Hello Work may require a referral letter)
• If applying with the Specified Skilled Worker visa: the company needs to prepare to accept SSW workers (support system, notifications, etc.). When applying or inquiring, ask whether they plan to accept SSW workers

GloJob does not judge work eligibility or visa suitability. Please make the final confirmation yourself, with the employer and a professional.

For employers: see here for information on hiring international talent and preparing to accept SSW workers → Employer page (Japanese)

Applying for Hello Work jobs works a little differently. Check the steps below. You apply through Hello Work itself — GloJob does not apply or act as an agent for you.

There are three ways to apply

1. 1Online self-application (from home — the easiest)

   Apply directly to the employer from your Job Seeker My Page (created with an email address). This works only for jobs marked "Online self-application: accepted." In My Page, search the job number → "Self-apply" → write your reason for applying, attach your résumé, and send. No referral letter is needed.
