摘要:In the first two parts of this series we discussed some of the tools you will need to find a job in Japan. In part three we will focus on cross-cultural issues and skills which may affect the performance and maintenance of your job. Longtime residents of Japan may find much of this redundant, but it has been our experience that the most intractable problems which arise in this setting are cultural. Of all the information we have presented in this series, this material is the least clear-cut and most open to interpretation. This paper is not meant as the final word on Japan or cross-cultural communication. Indeed, many fine books have been written on these topics and we refer the reader to those listed in the endnotes.
