hi guys! havent been posting in this thread for quite sometime.

i need help!! my wife wants to go back to her home country cause she doesnt like it here in kl well i dont really mind but first i need to know how to look for jobs. im gonna start by learning jap first tho..

moving there shudnt be any prob since i can apply spouse visa and working permit but securing job is my main issue. does anyone has contact for me to try my luck? what malaysian companies are currently based there? i have 3 years banking experience & bach deg which i know is pretty common thats why im asking you guys where i stand. can anyone enlighten me on this?

i need help please!!
anyone??

u mean japan embassy here in kl? what can they do?
ive been making alot of research about jobs for gaijin
most of them are english sensei which i am not qualified because english isnt our first language
i dont mind doing anything except for labor jobs

hahaha she stops singing at the moment. she might go back to singing or she might not
she HATES malaysia after so much shit happened, one of it is snatch theft *sigh really embarrassed about this as malaysian
so basically she wants to go back and i need to secure job before i move there
do u know any malaysian in jap working in banking industry?
or any good job recruitment firm specialize for malaysian?

i thought u have no problem with money? since you got money tips signature

my nihon-go is level 10 lol (the very basic) im starting to learn from book i got, and ill also learn from my wife..
hopefully i can reach proficient nihon-go within 2 years time. really really appreciate your info. i will pm PsyCHZZZ and tatsuyachiba about this. my current bank im working in has no branch in japan so yea i should keep my priority to international bank. maybe i should try apply int bank here in malaysia first, get in and request for transfer with family reason as an excuse. do u think it work? anyone successfully done this before???

daijob? ok cool. i will take that into account and keep my options open. thanks bro really appreciate it.
those job you mentioned is not something im really keen for but i wont mind doing it for short period in order to find more opportunities but i reckon it wont be enough to support a family especially living in tokyo unless i stay with my mum in law which i dont feel like doing. ahhhhh this is so hard



well yeah my target to move there would be next year.. im really stuck and i dont know where to start
im going through hard time making my wife happy. she complains basically about EVERYTHING. food, weather, people, homesick, environment.
i dont regret marrying her cause shes the best but to other malaysians if ure thinking marrying jap think carefully unless u dont mind migrate to japan which i need to do atm.

back to job searching, i will keep in mind with the things u told me. if JLPT2 is hard to obtain within 2 years then i must put extra effort learning and make it happen. shit this is gonna be tough have to stop playing games lol. what about malaysian based company in japan? not much?

@matt85
That's a good news but i dont see any hope that they will recruit more Malaysian


@PsyCHZZZ & tatsuyachiba
I'm currently working in Finance sector, Basel II Risk Management. Its project based where we report risk figures to Bank Negara. The problem with my current job is Malaysia just recently implement Basel II which Im guessing Japan would be practicing Basel III already. We're far left behind if you compare to top countries. I dont think my expertise would be a value added in applying job especially in Japan because its consider back dated specialization. If within local Malaysian bank then its a big YES. The best thing i can do at the moment maybe apply dept transfer to a better dept with higher demand. In banking, what is current demand in Japan? My other option at the moment is that i have few interview to attend next following weeks and these companies have branch in Japan. I dont know whether its possible but at least its a prospect to look forward to. PsyCHZZZ, you mentioned about govt at recruitment events, do you mean Malaysian govt or Japanese govt? If i can find ways to work with Malaysian govt in Japan that would be my dream job but i know that is almost impossible. Im using all my contacts and networking for that too actually. I will make an account at daijob and try my luck. Big thanks for that recommendation.

Tatsuyachiba, I guess you're the closest person who knows what situation im in right now. She's not involved in any Japanese community besides her job JTB Malaysia. She's been trying to make friends but couldn't even with Japs. Another prob she has more gaijin friends Whities more than Jap because she was in Int school in Japan, and lived in AUS & Canada. I dont know how to explain but she's one of a kind lol. Like you suggested, we're thinking of migrating to either AUS or Singapore as well but problem is visa, working permit and stuff since neither of us are Singaporean & Australian. Japan would be easier in terms of moving in but not job wise. *sigh im realllllllllly blunt and vagrant about this moving out stuff. How did you manage to make your wife agree and settle down in Malaysia? (Im just guessing you're in Malaysia)

Anyhow, we're expecting our first child in July (at least a good thing to hold on). I hope the baby can accompany and make her happy. Where's this Japanese school in KL?

Im just from average family, my wife on the other hand is from a decent wealthy family but with a lot of issue. To be honest, I can move straight to Tokyo without worrying what to do IF my mum in law isnt a cracked head. Its a bit personal but i can tell you through PM.

How did you first reach Japan? and what are the things you did that's my biggest concern. If you dont mind sharing, your moving business ist profitable?

Heard from friend in tokyo she said there are lots of fire happening all around tokyo

Just be on the look out on recent issues update. Hopefully Japan will recover by that time.
Ive stayed at Shinjuku Washington previously. Do u know you can get cheaper price thru japanese version of web page?

I am really worried about my friends and my in laws in Tokyo. My prayers are for their health and safety, not just them, but to all Japan citizens. Its one after another and its not getting any better at the moment. Hoping for the crisis especially the radiation leakage fixed.

Wish i could find ways to transport all of them to KL temporarily until things fully recovered.

Well its up to how those people want to enjoy their holiday. You cant simply call them s*hai for being cheapskate. Its more like backpacking and their intention is to enjoy scenery for a long stay by sacrificing daily lifestyle. Its an accomplishment for them. Well I wouldn't do it tho I spent 5k in 9 days just for shopping and moving around Tokyo

ps:/ You can wear big hat with a small head. ITS FASHION!

Shibata? you mean shimata? like this -->
