Applying for jobs within vs outside of Japan

Hello everyone!

As of last December, Canadians are able to take a second working holiday visa to Japan.

I loved being there on my first working holiday, and I now have a degree to allow for immigration, but my question is; would it be better to take a second working holiday, apply for jobs within Japan then switch visas or just apply from overseas?

99% of job postings in Gaijinpot specify “residing in Japan” but I’m sure there are other commonly used job hunting sites that I am unaware of so I don’t know if that is the norm.

Edit: My degree is near useless, I did an accelerated program + no school breaks + 120% course load on a shortened program and got a bachelors in <1 year

I am a skilled worker but do not have the 10 years experience so I am looking to do ALT work.

I do have N2 but that does not help much for ALT work I would imagine
