IEEE 802.11 draft 2.0 n is an International standard. I would believe it would work anywhere in the world so long as the Wireless access point and the wireless adapter are using the same standard. It is also a backwards compatible standard with 802.11g

Can I work in Japan as an American
span style="color: black;">Can I work in Japan as an American?
I'm 17 right now and I'm planning on going to college to get a degree in computer programming. I can speak fluent English and Russian and I'm currently learning Japanese. My question is, as an American, would there be anyway to get a job in Japan? I have heard they only hire Japanese citizens, but I was wondering if they make any exceptions? I realize this is an unrealistic idea, I'm just interested if this is at all possible.

Check out the exciting Fry Cinema. One of the greatest movie theaters in Narita is Fry Cinema, remarkable for it's remarkable tone and notable the most extraordinary culture. It features the most impressive culture.
2 :
yes you can alot of pepole do.
3 :
The exceptions are very rare--that is why they are exceptions. But things could change by the time you're in the workforce. Japan's population is declining and they have a worker shortage.
4 :
Yes its possible in a American / English section
5 :
You would have to get a work visa. Which means you and your employer would have to do a lot of paperwork, and it would take 6 months to a year. So, it's possible, but very difficult as finding employers who are willing to sponsor a visa is rare.
6 :
Well, be a bit realistic. What kind of job could you do not knowing Japanese? Learning is not the same as knowing. You could teach English, of course, but other than that I can't think of anything else you could do. What you do is also restricted by the visa you get (which is determined by what you're going to do in Japan). There are very strict limitations on what you can do on whatever visa you have.
7 :
The only way you can is if they offer you a job so then you can get a work visa, otherwise it's a no-go. Like the others say easiest way is becoming an english teacher.

I think you can get job in Japan. I'm Japanese 17 year old girl and I'm living in Japan. Many Americans are working in here. My English teacher is from America.

Well that's one good start academically ! But you may want to look at things like Working permit law & systems etc etc
4 :
Well you have a university degree, so it is easy to go to Japan to teach English. This can be good option as it is not that hard you have plenty time to learn more about the culture and improve your Japanese. You can also travel around looking at which city you want to live in. After 6 months to a year you could start applying for real work. Many companies in Asia employ people from other countries, and favour people already living locally. You can also look at applying for jobs, especially look at international interneships.

Depends on how good your Japanese is. It's a difficult time now in Japan to get a decent job for a Japanese person, but your ability to speak English would be a plus to companies -if you can speak Japanese well. Many companies would require you to speak fluent or at least conversational (enough to do business in) Japanese, speaking and writing. However I heard that it would take only one year of living in Japan to be completely fluent so you could teach English and earn lots of money for a year or so and then apply to various companies. It's frustrating without going there first, since you need a working visa first, to get a job.. but you need a company to sponsor you for a visa... You could always go on a Working Holiday Visa depending on where you are from. http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/w_holiday/programme.html#1
6 :
You can teach English with a four year degree.
7 :
Let me assume you are not native level of Japanese, and you are not familiar with the Japanese business practices. As an entry level guy you may got job, but I am not sure that they would sponsor your visa. Try the bilingual career fairs in the US: http://www.careerforum.net They are generally looking for native Japanese hires who wtudy in the US, but who know, you can get some luck there. My advice would be either: - get some business experience in the US by working some reasonably respectable company (your value is much higher if oyu are experienced worker) or - join some exchange program so you can visit Japan longer, affiliated to a university and can talk some local companies before you return to us or - maybe get a scholarship for one of the 1-2 years long cultural programs to come here, and look a little around. There are programs in international law, japan studies, whatever. Having no experience in Japan, living outside, generally you have zero chance to find a job (few company hires, esp entry level, from foreign countries directly). >>> Sorry, I forgot: yes, you always can be an English teacher if you like, and you may even get sponsored. All the others aply if you look for job in a company not as an English teacher. Still, you have better chance to find an English teaching job if you are already in Japan.

I don't have any degrees, but I drive taxi on the Yokosuka Navy base for some extra pocket money. Retired Navy living in Japan. P.S. I also have a Japanese wife and two houses, but no degrees.

The short answer is YES. The long answer is it depends on your work experience. I was transferred to my company's Japan R&D center in 2003. Even though I had 4 years of Japanese, it was my 6+ years of engineering experience that counted for the transfer. My colleagues and fellow transferees had zero Japanese, but they had very valuable years of technical and market experience. I was assigned to the a development project for a system that was to be sold world wide. Basically as a foreign employee you must bring an added value to the company bottom line. Either in experience and/or specfic business segment experience. My advice for what it is worth, after you graduate enter a Japanese company with offices in the USA. Look for positions that do business on a global scale. Avoid the business units that are cost centers and have support roles. You want to be working with customers and in the units that are the profit centers. Work your contacts in Japan. Keep working on your career, and look for the opportunities that will open doors.
