Hi, I would like to ask,

How do you get to work in Japan in the first place? Is there any hope for people who don't speak Japanese? I think they wont hire you unless you already have permit to work there right?

Thanks for sharing! Actually I would like to consider to work in Japan but do you think there's a chance for us working in the hospitality industry?

Hospitality Industry, Yes!

Olympics 2020 will be held in Tokyo. Don't go for 4-5 stars hotel.
You'll enjoy more either working with Guest House company or "Foreign Rental House Staff".
Usually they're looking for bilingual or trilingual staff.

Do search online, there's heaps of them.
Just try your luck and apply.
I believe you'll have more chance if you were in Japan and try to apply, of course need to plan out properly.

Oh, but my previous exp is with 5 stars hotel. Why do you say that?

Do you mind PM me any source I can use to search? The ones I searched before all require me to already have the visa before going...

Guys I have a question. I have been looking in Gaijinpot and multiple other jobsites...anyway, most of them are saying you must currently reside in Japan, or already holding a work permit before they consider to hire you.

So basically,

No work visa= no job offer
No job offer= no work visa

So how does one exactly get the employer to sponsor you in the 1st place? This is really hard for anyone that is not under "Skilled labor" category. This neverending cycle is BS. And not only Japan, I believe a lot of countries like AUS or TW also apply this rule as well...

yeah, I guess when that time comes, suffer packed train. *sigh*
You didn't provide the most important info, what kind of jobs are you trying to look for? I got a job without visa and what not in the first place, only via skype interview, and later went there for face to face.

Um, I applied mostly for jobs in hospitality field. Like in hotels.

How did you do that?

Riolis, thx. That's what I thought...

I did applied to the Japan school thingy. They told me the session for this year has ended. Opening again at April 2017. I don't think I can just fly direct to Japan with totally no guarantee about the job and burn through my whole saving. I suppose the Japan school program is my best bet now.
