How much do you weigh?

I got a masters in Japan then got a job here. Maybe you should do that.

110 pounds skelly.

Currently in Japan, its been 3 months. Theres not much except teaching jobs. Also interested on advices.

Why Japan? Living and working there is nothing like you see in anime. And getting a job there is difficult for a foreigner. Just focus on getting a job back home. Once you have a career going, you can rethink it.

If you want a job in Japan, your only option is to be an English teacher or an assistant language teacher, most likely.

You'll need a bachelor's degree from an accredited university to get a visa for that.

Knowledge of Japanese is generally not required for these positions, although it will be useful to have it for daily life in Japan.

Your best choice for doing this would be the JET program, but requirements are high and you've already missed your chance for 2017. The deadline for applications was back in November.

There are, of course, many other methods to get either position. They're easier to get into, but won't pay as well. Take a moment to look at https://jobs.gaijinpot.com/ to see a bunch of them. You will want to click the button to show just ones that accept overseas applications.

Keep in mind, this is a huge move that is not to be taken lightly. You should do your due diligence and investigate what it's like to work in either of these positions, and what your best options for doing so is.

Maybe you can try WWOOFing

I don't really know. Doesn't really matter for me wherever as long as I'm far away from my family and stop being such a shame to them for being a leeching NEET. Anyways, you're probably right. It might be best to start finding jobs locally. Accustom myself on what a real job would be like before going overseas and regretting it.

Thanks for these!

Honestly, don't move there unless you have aquired at least JLPT N1 and you have a desired skill or diploma. I wouldn't. But by all means, visit whenever you want to and do what you want, you only live once. Just don't do anything stupid and end up deported because your work visa ended from you having Japanese workplace culture shock and a lack of communication skills.

Not sure why this is getting suggested, that's not a job you can have.

You work for farmers who give you food and a place to stay for no cost but WWOOF membership, and you use your free time to go sightseeing in the local area until you move on to another place.

Sounds fucking comfy.

Exactly. OP just wants to get away from his family, get some work experience, and see Japan. WWOOFing might be the answer if he doesn't mind more hands-on labor.

I can't expect it to actually be useful as work experience if he were to put it on his resume, but if he just wants to see Japan on the cheap, go for it.

It's better than nothing

I'd suggest trying to get more proper, paying, work experience via teaching English before relying on that.

if you're black, there's a place for you in JAV

I remember this nog who went to teach english to middle schoolers, eventually married a jap and had a daughter

he lost his job for some reason. recently he's been seen on the cover of JAV, acting as a middle school teacher and banging girls dressed up in middle school uniforms. funny how life works

>I can't expect it to actually be useful as work experience
I think the play here is to seduce a girl and marry her to gain citizenship.

Sounds pretty fucking sweet

Get out and donate your time. Look for women's centers, social services, etc... Many of those places hire after only a few months of experience on the job given you already have a degree.
