Hi everybody!
First off, sorry if my english is not totally correct, it is not my first language 😅.
I'm a 28 years old who this summer graduated 3rd year of Japanese language and culture university in France (focused on japanese language, history, religions, ecology and society to later do research about Japan or that can lead us into jobs such as translation, teaching, touristic guide,front desk in airport or simple job that use japanese language like this if we stop after 3rd year as I did).
I already did a Working Holiday Visa in 2017 and worked there as a cook in a restaurant but couldn't get a job to stay there since the requirement for a working visa in Japan is graduating 3rd year of french university (for french people) and then get sponsored by a company.
So I now checked the " graduating 3rd year of university in France".
So i could technically find a job get sponsor and work there.
But I am not yet happy about my language skills + finding a job in japan from outside japan is almost impossible. my level is just below N2 ( I took the exam last month and I could feel it wasn't enough to get it, but with few months more training, I could achieve it). I'm thinking about going to a japanese language school directly in Tokyo and use that year to :
1- improve my language skills for the N2 recommended for most work
2- being in Japan to find a job since I can't use a working Holliday Visa anymore.
I heard about Job seeking language schools that provide exactly what I look for: improving language and give support to find a job in japan with class dedicated to it and companies that are partner to link with their students and so one. (such as Shinjuku buisness linguage school that get 92% of their students who get hired at the end of the year )
I'd like to apply to such university with like Go Go Nihon or Dokodemo and at the end of the cursus, be able to work in whatever job that would be related with languages skills since I can speak French, english, spanish and japanese (like in airport desk or touristic guide for exemple) . I would like to know if there is some people who experienced that kind of school, what school they would recommend, and wich one provides the best support for getting a job. I dont talk about finding the best language school but really about the best ones that provides help for getting a job in Japan and that would lead into a working visa at the end.
thanks for your help !
