Are you currently in Japan and thinking about changing your career into the IT industry?

I personally made a successful career change from a non-IT background into the IT industry, and my annual income increased significantly.

I have also supported other foreign professionals in Japan who successfully moved into IT from different industries, also achieving major salary growth.

Now, I am supporting clients who are challenging a mid-career transition into IT, with the goal of receiving an IT industry offer within this year.

At Tokyo Asabana, I provide career consultation and practical job-change support for foreign professionals in Japan.

My background includes:

• IT recruitment experience at a listed-company group
• National Career Consultant qualification in Japan
• Personal experience of changing careers into IT
• Experience supporting foreign professionals in the Japanese job market

Who This Is For

This support is suitable for people who:

• Are currently living or working in Japan
• Want to move from a non-IT industry into IT
• Are not sure which IT role fits their background
• Need help with Japanese resumes and work history documents
• Want to prepare for interviews in the Japanese job market
• Need someone to help design a realistic career-change strategy

What I Can Support

Career change into IT is not just about randomly learning programming.

For many foreign professionals in Japan, the key question is:

Which IT role should you aim for, based on your current background?

Depending on your experience, you may not need to start from coding immediately.

Some people may be more suitable for roles such as:

• IT Consultant
• PMO
• Business Analyst
• Internal SE
• ERP Consultant
• IT Support
• QA / Tester
• Implementation Consultant
• IT Sales / Pre-sales

Choosing the wrong direction can waste time, money, and energy.

Choosing the right direction can open a realistic path forward.

Tokyo Asabana can support you with:

• Career positioning
• IT role selection
• Resume and work history document review
• Interview preparation
• Job-search strategy
• Market advice from a recruiter’s perspective

First Step

If you are in Japan and seriously considering a career change into IT, you are welcome to contact Tokyo Asabana.

We can first arrange an initial career consultation to review your background, current situation, target direction, and possible strategy.

Changing industries is not easy.

But with the right positioning and a realistic plan, it is possible.

Tokyo Asabana supports foreign professionals in Japan who want to rebuild their career path with strategy, not guesswork.
