Howdy! I'm Zach from Texas. I am a semester away from graduating from Texas A&M University with a Technology Management major (Business minor), and I am looking at all my options for future employment. I've been curious and excited about Japanese culture since I was a kid. I make modest efforts to learn the language, and intend to make a trip to Tokyo within a year.

I have been pondering the extent in which I would like to be immersed in Japan (living their fully, travelling for business often, or just going every once in a while), and am open to all options. Vacationing for pleasure is obvious, and I have a decent catalouge of job opportunities that would let me travel to Japan (living in the states). I want to know, should I decide to live in Japan full-time, how might I go about getting prepared to (1)Be eligible to work in Japan and (2)Finding a job in my field.

I have numerous IT skills (MCSA/MCSE related Windows-network support work, technician experience, project management, and other decision-making IT experience.) My degree is specialized to government, education, and hospital fields, and I have 3 years work experience.

I know there are newspaper listings, but is there an online accessible database of job listings? Or should I just find a company in the states that is willing to put me up in housing for periods of time and switch back and forth?

Im a bit curious. The thought of working in Japan sounds fun, but I am new to job search in Japan.
