Really a pity that I am not in Japan in November, but if you really like Japan (I am sure you will, but it may be very hard at the beginning, especially without any language skills, although I speak japanese a bit (canīt read much yet, only a bit hiragana and katakana) it is hard to find a job. If you really want a job in Tokyo I can only recommend you to teach english at a language school. You are a native speaker, so it could be easier for you to find something (maybe you can ask at "Nova" or "Berlitz", 2 of the biggest language schools in Japan, especially Nova helps teachers to get working visa and an apartment, even before you move to Japan). Most jobs require quite good language skills. You will realize that only a few people talk english in Japan, most japanese are afraid of using it, so be prepared to communicate with "hands and feet". Another hint I can give you is to check for jobs on websites for gaijins like "gaijinpot.com". They often have job offers for foreigners living in Japan, sometimes they donīt even require japanese language skills. I was searching - no, I am still searching a job in Japan, but I donīt want to give my life up here in Europe so quickly, I would move there only if I would have a serious job offer in my pocket. If you really decide to live longer in Tokyo we can maybe meet someday, because I am at least once every 10 months in Japan! |
