are you sure you have read and understand them? By the time you have acquired a permanent residency, you are pretty much stable on your job, and have a high level on Japanese.

This I don't quite grasp. What kind of visa are planning on getting?
If you are planning to get a working visa, you need to get accepted on a job first before you can get the visa. Same goes with the student visa .. but as you say, you have already read all about this.

Most employers, from what I've gathered, aren't going to hire you if you're working on a visa. So, my plan is to get renewals as an ALT or JTE until I can apply for permanent residency (through marriage to a Japanese resident, if I'm lucky).

I'm seeking info on pretty much whether or not I can expect to get hired once I get permanent residency. Although I'll be legally a permanent resident, their will still be employers who won't hire me, since I don't have the "Asian" looks a natural born full blooded Japanese native would have. So, I'm wondering just how much of an impact not being naturally born Japanese will have on my chances for landing a career in something other then teaching English.

hired on what? how will you get a permanent residency if you don't have a good record ( career and everything else ). As Ive stated above by the time you are qualified to apply for a permanent residency, you already have a established life in Japan... and here I thought you read the article already ...
good luck though.
