Foreigner moving to Osaka for three months, if not longer, Good idea? How easy is it to find a job that doesn't require a college degree?

Great idea. As a foreigner, you will be treated as a god. I got a job at an investment bank and I'm only 17. I have a desk on the top floor of the building and they gave me a free apartment and a Nissan Skyline R34. Everyone should move here, Japan is great.

Seeing as how I am not a delusional cunt, I was hoping for serious replies... apparently 4chan is not the place, as it is overrun with 12 year olds from Gaia.

Silly me.

If you don't have a college degree or a knowledge of the Japanese language, you're more or less fucked in Japan as far as work goes.

Enjoy being a bouncer in Namba.

Sure. Let's see... you could beg, steal, pick up people's dogs' poo off the street for them, collect recyclable litter and sell it off or be a manwhore. Japan is full of career choices for an uneducated furriner.

I'm rather fluent in the language, which is why I would even consider going in the first place. ( I've been to Osaka, Tokyo, and Chiba before. )

I was just inquiring on whether or not the actual job market is easy enough.

Bouncer sounds along the lines of why I'm going there in the first place, which is to train at Shooting Gym Osaka.

They have no reason to hire you for a "real" job unless you're more qualified than an equivalent native job seeker. And the average Japanese job seeker is fresh out of college and ready for a lifetime of servitude.
Enjoy being a dime-a-dozen English teacher, I guess.

I loved Osaka when I was there, though it was only for 8 hours and I am a normal weight white female that was in a bar.

You most likely wont find an actual good job but it will be an experience. Worst comes to worst youll always have enough to go back home, right? Best of luck to you, I really enjoyed Japan when I went and no, not because I am a huge weeaboo. Just because it was a generally nice atmosphere to be in. For every person who wont help you in some way is 4 more who will.

I'll be in Osaka for 3-6 months, OP.

Where are you staying?

What are you staying there with? A work visa? I heard those were hard to get.

Impossible since you NEED a degree to get a work visa.

Not OP, but I'm going on a working holiday visa.

Part-time job, basically to supplement my income from sponsors and fight money.

I don't understand the language very well either, but some of my friends were planning on dragging me along on their SUPERAWESOME TRIP TO JAPANLAND anyways. They're planning on being there for about two months. I don't have that kind of cash, but I hear being a hostess pays well and it's fairly easy to get a hostess job.

The only reason you people say bad things about Japan is because you just don't understand the people and don't fit in. It's important to look the part too. I spent two weeks there and always got complimented on my language skills and how much I knew about the country. I gusss some of us are just more "Japanese" than others.

I lived in Japan without a work visa, but I was up in Niigata. Pretty much the only job you will get is teaching English.

An actual high school or something won't take you without a work visa, but there's a lot of little English academies/teaching places that will. At least there was in Niigata.

me and my cousin are going to japan this summer and going to spend 5 days in tokyo. I know there are a lot of clubs i want to go to, and since i am 18, it shouuldnt be a problem. my cousin however is 14. Luckly, she looks older than a lot of 18 year olds i know and could definatly pass as one. I am just wondering about how strict they are and if they need IDs

If your some kinda bad-ass martial artist guy try getting hired as a bouncer or security. Japs are a little socialist about their laws, and you might need to get permits to work that type of job though, espeically for being a foreigner in Japan, which is having some unemployment issues anyways.

I'd look into that, otherwise good luck.

bad idea

>>25071
Your cousin's tits NAO or GTFO. Actually the bigger clubs tend to card. Smaller ones often don't even have security. It's hit or miss so just have a bunch of clubs in the area lined up and keep trying.

BTW what kind of music?

>.> I Can't believe no one posted about this yet. The education levels in japan are different from the u.s assuming your from the u.s. people graduating from collages still have issues with finding a job. a university or more will be needed to find a job that would be able to keep you a float for awhile. But this will be for the bigger city areas. Osaka has lower standards but not as low as everyone believes it to be. so finding a job as a foreigner will still be hard. unless you find a farmer who's willing to take you in. Fact: culture wise, education and jobs are the main case of suicides in japan today. This is a big sign saying that there is a lot of stressful competition getting a job. Just follow one important rule in travailing ALWAYS have enough money to go back home, another recommendation would be never travel alone. (it helps to have two people pay for rent etc. if you guys are both able to get a job that is) It will be rough not only finding a job but to get one thats good enough to be able to pay for your living expenses. My advice to you would be to research more on the area you wanna live in osaka i.e transportation you will be using, the average cost rate for, housing, food, location etc. Contact your local travel agencies for more advise as well. >.> some agencies can be rather helpful then others so try other places as well. moving into another country and working is no easy task.

rule of thumb is, if there's a cover charge, they card. (20 or 23 so you're out of luck, too)

free-to-enter shitheaps like 911 and gas panic don't, but they're not worth your time imo

OP, it won't be hard to find a job, especially in the entertainment district. If you don't ask them to sponsor your visa, they won't ask you about your visa. lol.
Seeing as you're into MMA, bouncing would be a good option, it's a lot more different from what the bouncer has to do in the west, #1 problem for me were clingy 16 year old jap cuties - worked part-time as a bouncer for a year in Roppongi during my exchange and never had any serious problems.
Wage is usually 1200-1500y/hour for regular club work (not much compared to west but then again you don't do anything) but you could get a lot more once you get to know the people in the PHYSICAL SECURITY scene - I ended up bodyguarding gravure idols, escorting a whole german soccer club (dont remember which) etc, and that was well paid - 70 thousand yen for a day with girls, 20 thousand for escorting the soccer fags from the departure gate to the buss on the airport - took 20 mins. Don't expect it to happen like that tho - you might luck out, you might not - I just happened to meet the right people.
As for the visa, you'll get 3 months on the tourist visa. If that's enough for you, good. If not, you can just fly out to Korea or something and come back and get another one, or, if you're serious, you could try to get the 'cultural studies' visa which is for studying jap stuff like ikebana, judo etc. I think you can do part-time work on it completely legally but please check that.
Bottom line: you speak Japanese, you have usable skills (wrasslin' ZOMG!) - getting an under-the-table job won't be hard.
I'd just like to ask you, what are your plans? Would you like to stay in Japan?

teachin english always an option - friend of mine is in Thailand right now teaching english - he's loving it (and the girls)... he taught english in China couple years ago for 3 months - he said that was a great experience as well...
in both cases the pay is very good and the hours are low (usually like 20 hours a week) - he said as a white boy teaching english he would get as much as an well educated locals with a "good" job working 40+ hours... kinda pisses off the locals a bit... probably not the case in japan tho'... japan is expensive to live in, china and thailand are dirt cheap to live in...
on the down side, I think in most cases you would need to have some sort of college education to teach... usually required...

Definitely not the case in Japan. I looked into teaching english and interviewed at AEON; Schools generally pay like 2500-2800 a month. You MUST have a college degree too. Some subsidize your housing though.
