I moved to Tokyo, rented a room, and registered with a couple of staffing agencies that specialize in IT jobs for foreigners (one of which wound up hiring me internally). You need a a 4 year degree or 10 years work experience to qualify for the working visa. Happy to recommend a local IT recruiter if anyone wants.
- spicytunacone 9y agoMoved to Tokyo before acquiring a job? How did you manage that in the first place? I'd be interested in the recruiter. I wonder if I can hack it as an English teacher to get the sponsorship and work my way through.
- fenomas 9y agoI just came over and stayed in a hotel for a few days while I found a cheap room in a so-called Gaijin House (dormitory-style housing that rents by the month). As for English teaching, that's a whole topic unto itself, with lots of online resources, forums etc. If you have any marketable skills or job experience then my advice would be not to mess with it. Glad to introduce the recruiter (for IT/finance - I don't know any recruiters that deal in English teaching jobs). Email is my username at gmail.
