Hello!
I´ve been thinking on moving to Japan and found that finding a job abroad as a new graduate is quite difficult.
My plan is to go there with a WHV from Spain, test if It is suitable for me to live in a long term, and if it is try to apply for a long-term visa (working visa), while working in part-time jobs. Is it a realistic plan? Or as a foreigner is really difficult?
Background (expected when travelling, next year if possible):
– 22M Spanish native
– Bachelor's degree in Industrial electronics and automation
– JLPT N2 (currently N3, taking N2 this July)
– B2 English by MCER (if possible, could do TOEIC or Cambridge)
– No working experience, besides an internship of 12 ECTS as part of the electronics degree
As I've heard, my field in Japan is quite stong with many job opportunities but as a foreign engineer I fear being rejected, although having the N2 title. I wonder if it would be better trying to apply with some experience or go as a 新卒 (fresh graduate).
Also been to Japan two times in my lifetime as a tourist and really liked the country. I have no problem returning to my country to get my new Visa once the COE has been approved. No sugar coating. Thanks in advance 🙏🙏
