Moving back to japan

Postby Ghost » Tue Jan 15, 2013 5:24 am

Need some advice please. I'm currently in my second year at uni in the uk studying film. Ive decided that once my degree is done I'm going to move back to Japan, this time to live there long term. In the mean time I'm going to start taking evening lessons in Japanese as well as doing a Tefl course in the summer holidays. I'm going to get a years working holiday visa but it's after the one year that may be a problem. Will my degree and teaching qualifications/experience be enough for me to get sponsorship and a visa? Or does the bacholers degree HAVE to be in English or teaching?

Apparently any bachelor's degree and the ability to tie your shoelaces unassisted are the minimum qualifications.

p.s. The shoes used in the job interviews to demo that ability use velcro to keep the pass rate roughly equal to the company attrition rate. :mrgreen:

I never learned to tie my shoes properly. Some chick named Courtney taught me to tie them bunny ears style instead of the normal way. Bitch. Chick moved out of the 'hood before I hit puberty...actually, all the girls pretty much moved out before I hit puberty...wtf
