Maid Cafe Jobs

[frankiki]

Hello, I'm new to this community and I was wondering if anyone could share some information with men regarding working as a maid in Tokyo. I am a college student studying Japanese and (dead broke) I was told by a friend that some Maid Cafes like employing foreign girls and pay well

Let me know what you find out. I'm interested as well.

i've applied to 4 and no response from them. How fluent are you?

[suga_bay_bee]

only im female** woops.

[suga_bay_bee]

wait i read your post wrong?

it says men in the first line but then you mention foreign girls. lol confusing.

I think she meant to write "me". It's funny, I didn't even notice the typo until I saw your comment. I guess that's what comes of living in Japan for too long...

Several of them hire foreign maids... I even know one of them, a very nice girl.

However, if you want a job where you don't have to think a lot, I think that english teacher would be better for you. There are plenty of them that don't require any thinking at all.

Not all english jobs are like that, I should say. But there are a lot that are, and they probably pay more than being a maid. Look for places that just focus on free conversation.. you can't get any easier than getting paid to just talk about random stuff!

hey could you let me know the names of these cafes. I would be very grateful.

The most famous maid cafe is "@home", but that isn't the cafe that my friend works at. I don't remember the name of it, though. But really, I would guess that in Akihabara alone there are at least 30 maid cafes to choose from (more if you consider that there are special-themed and event-only ones). All you need to do is go to Akihabara and take the fliers that the maid girls give out on the street. Then visit the cafes that sound appealing and ask if they are hiring ^^ There might be a website too, but I'm not familiar with it. Sorry that I can't be of more help... but good luck!

That'd be fun and interesting, I'd imagine... Good luck!

theres one in Akihabara with a female manager. I recommend you apply for all of them, they really want english speaking maids. But- you must be pretty good at keigo-style japanese as almost all the customers are japanese. There is a maid-cafe map of akihabara avilable in electric town for free with nearly all the maid cafes on it. Go and apply in person with a japanese resume to all of them.

sorry, that is a female foreigner manager :)

[bundahberg]

make sure youre wearing something pretty :)
also the pay is not as good as teaching english

[frankiki]

Okay, but can I have my resume in English?

Thanks for the information.

You would probably want to check that it's okay with your visa too.. I'm pretty sure when I was on a student visa (which is what I'm assuming you're on) there was some kind of rule about this kind of thing (didn't really look into it though)

[bundahberg]

jimjamjenny is right, there are some kinds of places you cant work (legally) like hostess bars or lounge bars. But, I believe restaurants are okay and most maid cafes will fall under the restaurant umbrella

Okay I'll make sure first, but I have a part-time work permit too.
