Launch of www.job110.jp

In the past, Gaipro's business focused on introducing foreigners to Japanese corporations. Therefore on the former Gaipro homepage there was a lot of information specifically targeting foreign job seekers. However, over the last few years our business model has changed completely whereby now we specifically cater to Swiss and European companies searching mainly for Japanese managers and executives. This has become our specialty which is also reflected in the new HP launched a few months ago. Nevertheless, we know too well the struggle of young foreign job seekers in Japan which during this time of economic uncertainty has increased even more. Even though we cannot support them anymore as part of our business, what we can do is simply publish on the web the useful information we have acquired over the years on a goodwill basis. All the information is free and will be accessible at www.job110.jp, a completely separate site from www.gaipro.com.

As some of you might know 110 is the emergency contact number in Japan. Therefore www.job110.jp is the place to go to in case of a job search emergency. We hope that foreign job seekers will find the combination of information, links and advice useful when job hunting in Japan. Apart from all the free information, we have added two paid services: 1) Resume service (Eng > JP or JP > Eng) and 2) Interview training.

Please be informed that www.job110.jp does not provide any introductions to specific jobs. Nor is there a possibility to register resumes online. As mentioned above this site is purely for information services and not part of our mainstay business. We ask for your understanding.
