“Job change for specific skilled personnel”

▼ Is it possible for people with specific skills to change jobs?

It is possible for people with specific skill visas to change jobs, but for example, from the restaurant industry to the restaurant industry.Even if you change jobs to the same industry, you will need to apply for a change from Specified Skilled Worker No. 1 to Specified Skilled Worker No. 1, as qualifications are recognized as linked to the company you first applied for.It will become.
In that case, the international student will apply to change the status of residence to Specified Skilled Worker, so even if the job is the same,Reapply from the beginningThere is a need.

In addition, when changing jobs, there is a concern that it will take a lot of effort if the procedures are carried out only by companies with no knowledge of application and specific skilled workers.
Naturally, the new job will also require support services, so changing jobs may not be easy.

Of course, since they have already acquired Specified Skilled Worker No. 1, it is clear that they meet the standards.
As long as there are no violations after employment, there is no problem for the employee himself.
However, for specific skill No. 1,Accepting companies will also be rigorously screened.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the screening process will actually have to be re-examined since the company that accepts the applicant will change due to a change of job.

▼ What is the reason behind so many foreigners wanting to change jobs?

In fact, it seems that there are many foreigners who wish to change jobs.
Foreigners often share rooms with other foreigners, and if there is a difference in salary even though they are doing the same job as their roommates, they tend to want to move to a higher-paying job.
If there is a difference in salary between 20 yen for one person and 25 yen for another in a similar industry, it is likely that you will want to change jobs to the one with the higher salary.
As a background to this, there is a Japanese-style approach to foreign human resources.I don't understand career advancementThat's what I can say.
If you join a company with a salary of 20 yen, your salary will remain that amount forever, so most people think that the only way to move up is to change jobs.

Of course, I understand the feelings of foreign employees, but in the long run, even if there is a difference in salary at the moment, some companies have a solid seniority and salary increase system.
I think some foreign workers will work even harder if they realize that if they work this hard, they can get paid this much.
When I think about such cases, I feel that there are many foreigners who are unable to make their own career plans.

At the same time, it seems that there are cases in which companies that accept foreign workers are unable to offer career paths to foreign workers.
As a result, they are unable to envision their own future and are more likely to change jobs.
When accepting foreign human resources in the future, I believe that the ability of companies to demonstrate their career plans will become an important factor.
