Getting a Job in Japan!!

Hey guys,

I want to ask for those who are well informed in these sort of question. If someone only finished College (UK) what are the chances of them getting a job in japan?

Thank you

Depends on your skill with the moon runes and your visa/work permit.

To add to my above post.

I'm planning to apply to Asahi Nihongo Internship course (Paid) Is this a good way to test the waters out in working in japan?

Another is the Working Holiday Maker or Youth Mobility Scheme. I wonder which one is best for me to pursue. Got any thoughts?

A university degree or considerable professional experience in the applicable field is required to qualify for a working visa. Most types of working visas also require you to have a prospective employer as a sponsor. Residence permission is granted in periods of 6 months or 1, 3 or 5 years and is extendable.

In reality exceptions can be and are made all of the time, the sponsorship is more important than the University degree, especially if you get sponsored by a well-established company.

To become a citizen of Japan:

Continuous residence in Japan for five years or more
At least 21 years old and otherwise legally competent
History of good behavior generally, and no past history of seditious behavior
Sufficient capital or skills, either personally or within family, to support oneself
Stateless or willing to renounce foreign citizenship

Watch some of these videos. It might help you in Japan, if you get there.

Thanks I'll give this links a read.

Huuh. This fifth one. I was planning on working in Tokyo or somewhere in the Kanto region and then trying for dual citizenship (sometime in the future). Didn't know you had to renounce to become a citizen.

To be honest from my knowledge it is very difficult unless you are excessively skilled in your field. But yeah. It really does depend what you intend to get into over there also.

This may be kind off topic but what's the best way for learning Japanese? Should you study it in a University or could you take courses in Japan? Somebody enlighten me because this is an area I'm curious but uneducated about.

This is a whole debate between language learners, polyglots and linguists - independent studying vs classroom teaching vs tutoring.

I highly recommending watching videos by the following YouTubers: Steve Kaufmann, Moses McCormick and Alexander Arguelles for that sort of thing and language learning in general.

Thanks for the links. I'll check some of their videos out later tonight.

I hear they love hiring people who knows good English as English teachers on schools... lol.

Yea but you need to have an english degree if you want to teach in a private school. In public school though if you are fluent enough they might hire you.
