A probelm arises, in the Japanese Companies' attempt to utilize foreign white-collar employees, it being that they do not intend to remain long within one company. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the employment and promotion problems of foreign white-collar employees working for Japanese companies in Japan. This concerns their employee-status and then country of origin. Their career prospects seem to depend on employee-status, working experience, educational background, native languages, etc. To examine such factors is crucial in defining how career prospects are attained, and how prospects are offered by the company. Utilization of foreign employees is inevitable for Japanese companies that struggle to be globalized both in Japan and abroad.
