But it will be a little harder to find openings marketing and sales. And your competition will be a bit tougher since you will be competing with bilingual Japanese. And why would they bother hiring a foreigner when a qualified Japanese person can do the same job and, for a lack of a better way to say, be Japanese about doing it. Because there are a lot of things about working in a Japanese office environment that simply come natural to a Japanese person. So what you will have to do is find a job or position that is specifically needing a foreigner to fulfill it.
Join International Creative Network - Asoboo and get their job mail. Keep a watchful eye on Gaijinpot and any other non-teaching job sites you can find. It may take a while, but surely something will come around that suits you. |
Just to touch on this post. Universal Studios Japan is always looking for people. If you were to contact them and ask about positions, I am sure that will help you alot. It would be in Osaka though.
