How hard would it be for a foreigner to work in Japan?
Living in Japan would be my dream. I've been looking around to see what kind of jobs are available for foreigners and most of them have a native english level as a requirement. My native language is french so I don't meet the criteria. If I search for jobs where you don't need english or japanese as a native language, there's only about 5% of jobs left... Is it really like that all the time?

What is it that you want to do here? Usually if you don't speak English or Japanese, then your options will be SEVERELY limited - although you seem to speak English well enough for any work setting (certainly better than most Japanese people). In general, though, unless you want to be an English teacher (read: paid monkey), there aren't many jobs available... and even if you did get here, you may find that your dream doesn't match the reality.

Would majoring in marketing in BCOMM & minoring in Japanese create high chances of being able to work in Japan
Would majoring in marketing in BCOMM & minoring in Japanese create high chances of being able to work in Japan?
I really want to work in Japan someday! I really want to work in a business related job, such as marketing or international relations. So, if I were to major in marketing and minor in Japanese create a high chance of getting a job in Japan? Just answer the question - No explanation of how hard it may be to get visas or anything. :P Thanks! :)

Sure :) But you can still get a job in Japan without the minor - as long as you can add "speaks Japanese fluently" to your resume (in other words, if you can learn the language without having to spend money on extra courses for it, then do that instead. If not, go for the minor). Also, if you have some experience in a job related to the one you want to apply for, that'll obviously help greatly. I can totally relate to you, man. I'll be going on an exchange program to Japan in a year or so! haha. Anyway, hope this helps.

You have a few options, hope this helps http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/21/how-to-help-japan-earthquake-relief_n_834484.html I'd also suggest trying to go through The Red Cross

Unless you are a trained professional in search and rescue Japan does not need any foreign volunteers. Instead, consider donating money, blood, food, or clothing to any of the many various organizations set up to help Japan. You can probably find a local group in Sweden who are collecting donations right now. If you absolutely must volunteer, then volunteer with these organizations. But there is nothing set up for sending foreigners to Japan to help because the Japanese do not need that sort of help. They don't need people who don't understand Japanese working in the refugee shelter.
