I’m looking for a website, Japanese, where Japanese college students would look to find part time jobs. Specifically computer programming and development but other kinds of positions as well. In Japan.

They use this kind of site.

I desperately want to move to japan and study japanese and journalism there. I don’t know japanese yet and want to learn while I am there for full language immersion. Are there jobs for american college women in japan while studying japanese at a language school? I want to be able to live there.

There are a number of jobs for Native English speaker in Japan, primarily being English teacher. They do not require any knowledge of Japanese language, neither spoken nor written. There may be other jobs, but teaching English is by far the most widely available.

You would have to have a working visa in order to work in Japan. Some language schools will sponsor you for a visa, but many will not. If you did find a job that would sponsor you while you were in Japan you would have to leave Japan to get the visa.

Of course there are a lot of English native speakers in Japan without a visa who work either teaching students privately or working for a school that doesn’t declare to the government that you are working for them.

Okay i wanted to know are there African American males that get jobs as teachers in japan, ive notice that when i am applying for a job or looking on a teaching website they always show white or european teachers just would like to know form individuals who’ve been to japan as teachers and that would no this and please no negative responses

There is no official data as to how many African Americans work as English teachers in Japan.

But I can say the number is very low.

The ninja were a group of assassins and spies who fought and hunted in the mountainous regions of Japan. This group was made of a collection of fundamental survivalists who created and practiced many survival techniques. This survival group propagated many legendary myths about themselves, which instilled great fear into their enemies. Those myths still exist today, reinforced by the popular movies like ‘Teenage Ninja Turtles’ and ‘Elektra’.

The ninja symbol is the character “nin,” which means endurance, tolerance, and strength. The pictograph of a knife above a heart represents self-discipline.

The Early history of the Ninja

Practitioners credit the origins of the art to En No Gyoja, a warrior monk who set up a training camp in the Togakure mountain range. The sect existed in isolation for 500 years until 1165, when Daisuke Nishina, a clan member, ran away to the Iga province. There he came under the tutorage of Kain Boshi, a mystic warrior and monk, which greatly influenced his training, adding esoteric philosophies to his fighting and tactical guerrilla skills.

Ninjas Versus the Samurai

In its original form, the art was geared to the needs of the assassin, with a large emphasis on concealment, infiltration, and spying. Opportunities for employment among the ninja peaked during medieval times, when warring factions became better organized and the need for unconventional battle tactics became vital to success.

It is a widely held misconception that the ninja were sworn enemies of the samurai. In fact, many were also samurai who took on assassination jobs or gathered intelligence for opposing samurai clans as a way to raise their status and financial wealth. They actually share many of the same techniques for fighting. However, there were many battles between them, largely instigated by warlords who had gathered samurai militia and felt threatened by the ninja’s expertise in destabilizing power bases.

Teaching and training in Ninjitsu

In the past, the art of ninjutsu was practiced and taught in a strict code of secrecy from master to disciple, and teaching as a profession was discouraged by the ninja until quite recently.

Today, there are many different schools of ninjutsu, the majority of which teach skills that originated from samurai fighting arts: spiritual refinement, armed and unarmed combat, explosives training, stealth, water training, military strategy, escape, horsemanship, espionage, geography, and meteorology.

Principles of Ninjutsu

Ninjutsu’s basic tenets are summed up in a poem, probably composed by a warrior known as Yamabushi.

The Essence of Ninjutsu

My parents are the heaven and earth,
My home is my body,
My power is my loyalty,
My magic is my training,
My life and death is breathing,
My body is control,
My eyes are the sun and the moon,
My ears are sensitivity,
My laws are self protection,
My strength is adaptability,
My ambition is taking every opportunity with fullness,
My friend is my mind,
My enemy is carelessness,
My protection is right action,
My weapons are everything that exists
My strategy is one foot in front of
the other,
My way is ninjutsu.

I’ve been looking at the possibility of teaching English in Japan next year. I’ve seen things where you can go with just a bachelor’s degree and no foreign language experience. The problem is, the JET program deadline has passed, and I’ve heard Aeon and Aclipse (and recruiters like that) are somewhat illegitimate. Can anyone offer first hand experience about a program they have done (or no someone who has done a program) that they can recommend?

JET is closed for Spring 2010, but it might still be open for Fall 2010, and definitely for Spring 2011.

AEON is legit. It’s a huge company with branches all over Japan. Try out ECC, Geos, and do a bit of searching for other "eikaiwa." Some of these places do recruiting outside of Japan.

Check gaijinpot.com for a daily updated source of jobs mainly for native English-speaking university grads. Unfortunately a lot of them require you to actually be in Japan at the time of application, but not all of them. Also check out Ohayo Sensei, who put out a bimonthly list of job ads. (You can also post your own job wanted ad for free).

The crappy eikaiwa was NOVA, but it doesn’t exist anymore. However there’s a new company which is basically starting it up again. It should be completely different management, but I’d still stay away from that place. I’ve heard too many bad things about them, and that was before they suddenly went bankrupt, leaving hundreds of people out of work, stranded in a foreign country.

Interac is a good company, where you do the same job as most JET people, minus the nice government paycheque. Still quite decent pay and to some, this kind of job is "the" English teaching job in Japan.

Right now is the hiring spree as Japanese schools start their year in April. Other companies follow suit. So don’t delay. Do your searching and send out your resume today. If you wait a month it will be slim pickings. Most positions will be filled and it will be that way for months.

I am 16 years old right now, currently studying the spoken language and Hiragana (before moving on to Katakana and Kanji). I am not interested in being a teacher, but I would very much like to move to Japan in the future, maybe when I am around 24. My first choice was to be a nurse, but then I realized that it would be near impossible in a foreign country. What other jobs could I do that would allow me to live in Japan with a good income?

To be a nurse in Japan, you would need to graduate from a Japanese college. Not only is it costly, all classes are in Japanese.
Outside of teaching English, there is little available. You would have to have high tech computer skills that a Japanese doesn’t have. Your best bet is to find a company that has an office in Japan.
Japan has a very closed immigration policy.

My husband is active duty Marine and is looking at getting stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I am looking at going with him but I have questions about the SOFA status and finding a job overseas. I am a dental hygienist and not sure how to go about applying for dental jobs. I am also not sure how to go about getting a SOFA status. If anyone has any information that might help or links that I could look at it would be most helpful.

If your sponsor has orders assigning him to Okinawa, you will have to request command sponsorship from the base that he is being assigned. This will usually require a formal request and a medical statement from the military hospital’s exceptional family member department at your current base that you are currently assigned. This is because there are limited specialty treatment capabilities overseas. If the base in Okinawa approves your command sponsorship and travel to Japan by authorized orders, you will be under SOFA status. A Dental Hygienist in Japan requires a Japanese license that can only be taken in Japanese language. You will have better luck applying for a job on base with the Air Force, Navy, or Army Dental Clinics.

I’m not exactly looking for an English-teaching job. Something more to do with sales and marketing at a English-speaking company in Japan. My Japanese is only at the basic level…

The problem with this is getting a work visa for that kind of job. It’s not likely for a company to look outside of the country to fill these kinds of jobs. There’s far more Japanese who know English than there are non-Japanese who know native level Japanese. Your best bet would be to find a company based here that has an office in Japan.
