Yes, it is very possible. However, you have to speak Japanese well. Some of the job options is teaching Japanese. Pero marami nang foreign people that do that. So I suggest learning Japanese and finding a great job through internet or connections. **Sorry I noticed that your user name has "pinoy" on it, and I decided to practice my Tagalog, tell me if I said it wrong*** Gambatte ne~! (Good Luck)

If it is so easy like what you are thinking to live and work in Japan, uncountable hundreds of many foreigners have been increasing the numbers everywhere in the country. You'd better go to Philippines instead where is the right place so many Pinoy live and work there.

You need a BA degree.A work visa, and a soliid job offer to work in Japan. The people you're talking about are given back breaking low paying factory jobs that few Japanese will even take. Moving to Japan is not easy.

I've been lived in Japan for 3 years, i studied japanese language and got a part time job at a japanese and chinese restaurant . The living cost was so expensive. I think it's not easy for anyone who don't understand any japanese to work in Japan, so please learn some language before you go .You may teach English in Japan. Good Luck! p.s. The culture between Western & Eastern has a big different.

If you are a UK citizen, you 're eligible for Working Holiday, which allows you to stay and work in Japan for a year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_holiday_visa#Japan Maybe you want to take advantage of this to see the country for yourself to see if you'd really like to live there. To stay longer than a year you'll need work visa. To obtain it, you have to have a bachelor`s degree or be an expert in some field, plus a solid job offer.

If you have a bachelor's degree you can teach English in Japan. Try to get into the JET programme as it is the best one. I lived there for a year and I absolutely loved it!
8 :
ESL teaching is your best bet. All you need is to be a native English speaker and have a Bachelor's Degree (for your work visa). Fluency in Japanese isn't needed (unlike any other expat work in Japan), but obviously helps a lot. JET is the best program, but there's also several eikaiwas (private language schools) that aren't as selective if you want to go that badly.

YES YOU CAN!:) I was nearly 19 when I moved to Japan. I worked, but I was a hostess. That can be a dangerous job at times, but you're a man....so you wouldn't be working as one. Your best shot is to be an English teacher! I tought little Japanese kids English for a while too. That was fun...and you don't need to know Japanese for that! But they might want proof that you attended at least one year of college. Don't work at Nova...they will cheat you outta ur money! Just keep that in mind! gambatte kudasi! (good luck!) --Jessie

yes, it is really possible to do this, basically, i recommend studying japanese for a while till you think you know it and you can get around, you need to know that language mostly, how to read, write, and speak. see if there is any toutors near you.

Since you are not Black, you can do anything that you want.

You need a career from a credible school, a lot of experience and the level 1 of the certificate of the JLPT (http://www.jlpt.jp/e/) Japan now is focusing on recruiting more young generations of Japanese and so, you will be tested harder than the natives so you will definitely need more qualifications than a Japanese PLUS a valid Visa and it is very hard for Japanese companies to sponsor Visas for foreign professionals. Good luck

Only if he or she is a Japanese citizen at least 15 years old, and their school permits it. There may be an exception for working in the entertainment industry.

Japanese citizen who are 15 or over have right to work. Usually he does not go to school if he has full-time job. I don't think minor foreigners can find a job in Japan.

How can I work in Japan

How can I work in Japan?
I'm from Romania and I really want to find a job in Japan (because my boyfriend lives there). I have a Bachelor's Degree in Romanian and English language and 13 years of English study. Do I have a chance to find a job as a teacher or as an assistant language teacher in Japan? Do I need to be in Japan already in order to find a job?

It would be easier if you currently lived in Japan at the moment, but I don't think it is necessary. There are programs in Japan for teaching English to Japanese children there that require little to no Japanese, contacting a department of education there would most likely be your best bet. However, it may be a good idea to learn Japanese to be able to effectively communicate with people where you live. If you speak no Japanese at all, it may be difficult for you to find a job, but I know it is possible. Good Luck.

The chances are better if you are in Japan looking for a job. Most likely you won't have a working visa, so your pickings are slim. If you want to find jobs before coming to Japan, checkout http://www.gaijinpot.com/ That way you can arrange to get a visa permitting you to work before you come to Japan.
