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.
