If all else fails, get her in as a hakken and hope she gets a full time shot.

She said it is easiest (really really easy) to get into hakken, work for a year, and get the full on job internally with the same pay range as your "equivalents". This would go back to nikoneko's comment about age... not a good thing, but if she is pushing 40 and doesn't have a high level job, getting one is more difficult.

Get her to decide what she wants to do and apply for the job herself.
Until then, hang in there and bide your time in this environment...

If that does not work, she could give English lessons at home. If she has a class of 5 kids that pay 1000 Yen / lesson of 1 hour, then that is not such a bad deal. Of course, that can only be done for a maximum of few hours a day (after school), and some teaching experience is necessary.
If space at home is insufficient, then there are public facilities available in most places, which can be rented for very reasonable prices.

Russell wrote:Her terrific bilingual skills are a very positive point, and she may want to consider working in a foreign company. Also, it may also be worthwhile to work as an interpreter (not translator, since that tends to pull in much less).
Anyway, I suppose you probably figured this out by yourself already...

Yup, hakken is certainly an option. However I notice I forgot to mention she is seishain now and got the job after being made redundant from a hakken role. Being seishain is the main reason she's hanging onto it, but she'd consider hakken again if it was a better working environment / opportunities for advancement.
FWIW she's pushing 30.

If she can't get at least 5 interviews and a job in 60 days, the problem is with the wifey. I sound like a dick I know.
