Moving to japan was always one of my life goals, and due to being called back to military once again, I decided to start looking for jobs instead of waiting a few more years.
I've been lurking here for some time now and know about sites like tokyodev, japan-dev. However, I'm still having a hard time finding good entry-level mobile application engineer jobs.
Here is my background:
- 25 yrs old
- 1 year of experience working as an mobile app engineer at an international company
- Bachelor's CS degree with Information Management double major
- 1 semester of exchange students at Tokyo Tech
- Business-level English and Japanese (N1, no problem with communication)
My questions are:
- Is LinkedIn still the main site for job search used by foreigners without a working visa finding Japanese jobs? Any other sites I should be looking at?
- Many jobs on LinkedIn lead to mynavi / dodo, however they require a Japanese phone number / address to register. Does that mean that these jobs don't accept people not located in Japan?
- Should I prepare japanese-style 履歴書・職務経歴書 if applying for jobs that are clearly not for foreigners?
- What is the "normal" salary range for people at my level?
Would also apprecie any advice related to job search or really anything tips are welcome! Thanks in advance!
