Yusuke; Benefits when international students are job hunting.

Today I'll talk about What kind of benefits international students can have when they are job hunting in other countorise,Then I would like to compare between Japan and Australia.
Firstly, there is a big difference in the situation, which is temporary jobs for international students. In Australia, they can be interviewed for any kind of job they want. On the other hand, in Japan, generally they can have only easy jobs for which speaking Japanese is not a requirement . I think that why Japanese employers make much of communicating to customers. I mean when we work for a restaurant as a waiter for example, we should be really polite, speak Japanese corrrectly and should smile anytime even if the restaurant is like fast food, so international students should have skills of talking which is really difficult even if the person is Japanese.
It takes a long time to get a job because international students should study a lot to have that skills that why Japanese doesn't have similar langueges. But then in Australia when they talk with customers, they behave friendly and pleasantly which is not rude even if the restaurant is not so expensive. Thus, if someone doesn't speak very well, it doesn't matter but tring not to be shy or withdrawn is necessary.
Secondly, there is another situation which is full time job. I think Japan and don't have such a big difference in this situation because recently there are a lot of English speaker in Japan so if we speak English conpletely I don't think it will help you a lot . i guess English is getting more and more necessary than before. However , In Australia if you speak a second language, it will be a strong point .
The overall idea of the essay is that in the situation of job hunting , Japan has more harsh conditions than Australia but it will be helpful to lean others languages anyway.
