What kinds of jobs are available?

＼A variety of occupations, from taxi/truck drivers to nursing home transportation／

Truck

Driving jobs delivering small packages, such as at Amazon's delivery service, can be started as soon as you have a regular driver's license.
This is a popular occupation among foreigners because it can be started immediately with a regular driver's license and a light automobile.
However, some companies may ask you to work as a freelancer instead of full-time employment.
Note that as a freelancer, you will be responsible for filing your own tax returns and paying for your own daily gas, insurance, and lease expenses.

Nursing homes, care facilities and hospitals

In most cases, a Class 2 driver’s license is not required, so you can work there immediately.
Nursing home pick-ups often follow the same route, so it’s easy to work for those who are not familiar with the area.
In most cases, drivers do not need to be qualified as caregivers.
If you are interested in becoming a qualified caregiver in the future, the company you are joining may be able to support you.

Many companies offer Ryo (dormitories), so those in need of a place to live can join the company without worry.
