Thank you very much TalnSG and Nyororin. I tried checking out the daijob.com website, and I did see plenty of job postings there, so that's encouraging. Still hard to tell whether they have a Japanese person in mind when they post the ads but....
Really interesting about the Boki certification, I'll definitely look into that, it would be a great thing to work on getting on the side, I've got time since I'm basically just starting out!
