Hey everyone,
My Japanese partner is going to have to return to Japan next year when her Canadian visa expires. So I’m looking for options on how I can follow her and what I can do once i’m there.
-I have a Bachelor of Arts (in history)
-my Japanese is still pretty limited, but I’m working on it. On the online practice tests I can pass the N5 maybe 65-70% of the time.
-all of my work experience is in retail and office management (I’m currently the manager of a grocery store) so I feel like none of my skills will translate without getting better at Japanese.
Is getting hired as an ALT or Eikaiwa teacher through a dispatch company still my best option to obtain a visa? I suppose marriage is a possibility as well?
At this point in my life I can only make ¥200k/ month for so long. Is English teaching my only real option, or do more opportunities open up as my language skill grows? Though I still feel like I need a few more years of learning to be able to make it in a workplace environment.
Thanks for any helpful advice!
