Isn't it possible to work in Japan on a student visa?
I am trying to get things lined up for Japan, I've asked questions before about my visa, the schooling will be online, and I was just wondering if I can work in Japan. Please give me a hand here.

Japan is one of the strictest enforcers of its immigration laws of any country in the world. If you are a student you go to school, and you have the money to pay for it. You cannot work. Employers must apply for employment visas. They are very scarce and hard to get, and you do not qualify if you are still in school.

What are good job seeking sites for people wanting to work in Japan
What are good job seeking sites for people wanting to work in Japan?
The field I'm looking for is in organic chemistry. I have a Ph.D in organic synthesis and 6 years post-doctoral research work along with other stuff. Three of which were in China.

"a Ph.D in organic synthesis and 6 years post-doctoral research work" is an excellent working experience. But it does not mean that you are appreciated in Japan. You must be able to speak Japanese to work with Japanese stuffs. Do you speak Japanese? There are some websites for looking for a job in Japan. http://english.job-japan.jp/ http://staff.hiwork.jp/staff/english_01.aspx But many jobs there are English teacher or related jobs. It's difficult to find a job concerning organic chemistry. I think you need to look for it patiently. The most important factor in finding a job in Japan is age. How old are you? The younger you are, the easier it is. And vice versa. It's extremely difficult if you are over 40.

For a serious job search, the old school job fair is probably still best. Career Forum is the largest Japanese job fair for college and post-college degree holders in the US. http://www.careerforum.net/?lang=E They have some online listings, and it appears to be much smaller than the number of companies that actually show up at Career Forum, especially for the one in Boston.

Why I want to live and work in Japan
Why I want to live and work in Japan?
So, I have to write a 500 word essay on why I would like to live and work as a teacher in Japan. Have always dreamed of teaching abroad, but, in order to make this essay short and sweet, I need to think of some reason I would like to teach there and impress the people reading this essay. What are some highlights that you think would be needed to be included in this essay to make it more appealing?? Thanks!

If you can't even come up with ideas for an essay, then you shouldn't be teaching in Japan.

How does dating in Japan work
How does dating in Japan work?
If your a American Woman living in Japan for a year how does dating work? I've heard a lot of stories from the male perspective but what about women. Is the 'going dutch' thing true? And what about sex? How are the rules different? BTW- I'm 5'7- Is that going to be a problem?

This is only hearsay, as I am a man living in Japan. I worked with an American woman who is now married to a Japanese man. She is 6'0", by the way. There are taller men in Japan. The thing is that American women are viewed as strong, and many Japanese men prefer shy women. It's not always true, though. Going Dutch is definitely true. Even though I have a girlfriend, we pay for our own meals separately. Sex is sex. Nothing really different. Difference in dating rules are that you don't get introduced to the parents unless the relationship is very serious. Meeting the parents can be a rather formal situation. Public displays of affection are frowned upon. Kissing in public is rarely done. It's a private thing. Holding hands and some hugging are common, though. That's about all I can think of.

You need money and lots of it cause the dollar is cheap over there what would you do? the only jobs are working in a factory for low wages or teaching English... If you have a degree in anything you can make a little money teaching but you would have to go there first or send in a resume then get hired from the US or UK but you usually need a photo and a video of your teaching. go to www.ask.com and ask about jobs in japan. good luck ps can you speak japanese cause most people dont!

You would need a visa to live and work in Japan in addition to your passport. It would be very hard to get.
