tanoshi, do u have any muslim friends that can provide such tour service?
Was planning to go backpacking with my girlfriends too, probably by next year if our tabung gajah sudah penuh,lol.
Our last resort is too take the package tour, but prefer to backpack la,stay in hostel,jalan2 suka hati, etc, lagi adventurous

Its pretty much the same as applying visa for students ... This is what I see ...

Also check for health ... Criminal record ... And Degree/Diploma ...

Well...To me ... Still got 3 years before going to Japan . So just relax for a while first . Haha ...

Can I bring my Australia / Animation course Degree to Japan to ask for an employment in the animation company ? Or I have to re-learn everything in the animation institute ?

Yes please dude..as I tak tahu nak buat link and bla bla...gomen ne...

Added on November 30, 2008, 11:35 pmAustralia / Animation course Degree I think its 'berguna' becoz to work in Japan as permanent staff the requirement is AT LEAST degree holder or Special Cert. (of your skills bla bla) so why not start searching from internet duh! dont ever come to Japan and hi expectation of getting easy post lor...taihen ne! hehehe

Good post need to work from a low post ma ! Sure will get promoted one ... So I'm not scare about this ... What Im worrying is wether the Degree tat I got in Australia ... Donno wether it will meet up the requirements anot . Just wondering do I have to restudy everything about Animes in Japan in order for my requirement to reach ... I can't do any research now ... Still blank ...

of coz maaa..wat i meant is...its NOT that easy to get a job in Japan, unless you are have talents..thats what for sure...its not like Malaysia..Just an example ya...from my experience;
IF in Malaysia, u r the best, you ada itu ini, you boleh buat itu ini..bila pergi interview, you rambut panjang ke selekeh ke lambat ke..99% you'll got the job! yeah becoz u ada itu ini bla bla....
IF in Japan (Japanese company ok!), u r the best, you ada itu ini, you boleh buat itu ini..bila pergi interview time...1st impression is..your dressing your punctuality..go for interview with a long hair without tight or jeans or selekeh...definitely tak dapat lah kerja..because hers is standard baju putih, seluar gelap, pakai tie, rambut pendek! i heard that, interviewer will see on our side either we can follow the standards or not...this is my pengalaman lah...oh ya...I dunno bout Bro Fire case!hehehe..like to share Fire?

Hmm...Im a good boy ... So about my image...Should be ok ... I can guarantee it . Im a smooth talker ... Haha ... Just the degree la ...


My friend said that the uni that I graduated from also will be taken into consideration . Family background ?

Furthermore...Like you said ... Anime is becoming the heart of Japan ... Sure alot of company ... Need more people to mass product animes in order for income bla bla ... So...I think that its quite competitive and at the same time , Not that hard to find job for it . Like you said ... Positions may vary

Maybe a Jap dude work as a illutrator and maybe me in the character design ? Hard to say ...

The Anime demands is now getting more and more ... Even the company can't produce so many ... They might need more workforce.

Yep.
Wear black suit, wear tie, wear white shirt, white/black socks, black shoes.
Short hair, clean shave.
Punctuality is a must.
Go back home late is fully appreciated.
Work is your God.
Lunch hour is your Heaven.
Go back home is your temporary life.

^ that is for corporate office work.

For creative work, it depends.
Be sure to call them up first and ask about the work ethics and everyday dress code.

All in all.
No matter animation or whatever you work as.
No matter in Japan or anywhere else.
Its all depending on luck.
And on YOU.
Especially YOU.

Because at the end of the day.
You do well at the interview, 50% you'll get the job.
And even if you do well, there is also 50% you won't get the job.
Its the same everywhere

The point in lesson: Never give up

hey ya bro, hows yur date today? not goin to Ginza?

Yea...Just gotta try ... There are alot of companies in Japan ... Gotta work slowly to build up experience ... Then eventually big companies will recruit ... So gotta be patience . Haha ... Experience is more important than a newly graduated degree / PHD holder .

Firedauz , Tanoshi ... you got any friends are in this stream ? Can gather some info for me about the requirement if you can ? If you can't then its okay ... Im only wondering about this : Do I have to restudy in an Animation Company in Tokyo or anywhere in Japan in order to fufill the requirements or I can apply using my Degree from Australia to apply for it . Cause If I gotta re-study everything even if I got my degree ... Pointless if I study my degree there . Might as well make up my mind and go Japan for my degree . If you get what I mean ...

I went to Akihabara for anime exhibition today instead

Sowi dude..I dun have any info...you can ask Fire..he is more experience!
Btw, just my 10yen for you ya...dont try to gamble to come to Japan purposely to look for a job, its not easy! make sure you got an offer from Japan then...you decide lor...

I'll keep a look out for you.
But I think Google is by far a better option to search for infos on this matter (because I'm not in this field).

Tanoshi...Refer to my previous post ... I added something .

Yea ...Thats risky ... But how do I get an offer ? Its like ... Australia and Japan is soo far out . Can I like ... Write in an email or anything to the company and ask for an interview or anything ? This looks hard...Anime company don't usually hang out banners or post in d newspaper saying that they are recruiting right ?

I just gotta walk in myself or email them right ?

SAYA!

Just wait for an advertisement.
Just like any other companies

IF you are 'cerdik' and really wanna try your luck is 'Write in an email or anything to the company and ask for an interview or anything' YES!

This looks hard...Anime company don't usually hang out banners or post in d newspaper saying that they are recruiting right ?
Theres no such a words 'this looks hard', you want it? go for it without excuses..AS AM I QUIT from BIG semiGOV company purposely to come here! hehehe..you are still young then why not, try it from now...hey, good luck to ya!

Hmm...Cannot interview while still got a job at other place right ? Do you think I shud stay in Australia to work for few years to gain experience or half work half find job in Japan ? Haha ... Im not a Form 4 student ...

I think Email / Calling them for an interview is possible .

Every job ... Gotta take risk ... Gotta try and try and try ...

Either of the choice is good, as long as you continue to work hard & smart

Is it possible for people to like ... Work in Australia ... While holiday ... They go on an interview in Japan ?

It could be possible
