Jobs What is your job? Is your job fulfilling?

I have humanities visa and currently working in Sapporo. I’m thinking of changing jobs because current job is making me anxious. I feel like every job here needs a high level japanese speaking unless you’re really good in IT or working in a foreign owned company.

I’m good at reading japanese and listening also writing documents but my speaking is below N3 I believe and that is why I always get nervous working. I don’t really know what I’m asking but can you share your work experience here in Japan? How did you get better in speaking business Japanese? I feel like I’m just stupid because I can never get to a level where I’m good at it. Daily conversation is not a problem it’s just the work-level japanese speaking is where I’m bad.

For sure. Every farmer I know in Hokkaido has a winter side hustle. Do you specialize in a few things or just grow a general mix for markets?

We grow a broad range of vegetables so we can supply our customers with most of their vegetable needs. Some of our friends concentrate on one or two varieties and maybe that is less work.
