This article reports the attitudes of international students from science and engineering departments toward seeking jobs in Japan. The data was collected by means of a questionnaire that covered parameters such as, career options after graduation, factors while selecting employer, and concerns in seeking employment. Results displayed that over 60% of the respondents in this study wished to reside in Japan after graduation, and over 40% wished to be employed with a Japanese company. From those who intended residing in Japan, the majority planned to stay up to 10 years, with the most frequent range being between 5 and 10 years. There were no significant differences for gender and type of scholarship, but there were differences in cases of nationality group and part-time job experience. It is interesting that the experienced students planned not only their stay in Japan, but also stressed about their “relations with Japanese colleagues.” Their preliminary job experience fostered the international students’ consciousness regarding employment.
