The title might be a bit dramatic for my current situation but I’ll write it anyways.
I’m a Brazilian college student (19F) and I’m gonna graduate next year.
The thing is that I just can’t find anything I want to do. People told me to just go for any job, but I want to look for something I wouldn’t hate before I settle for something I might. I’ve been going to Japanese schools for ten years and now I’m studying English just for the degree because my teachers cry about the students in my class being “too advanced” as if that was our problem.
I don’t want to teach (even though I have a permanent visa it’s still hard for non-native English speakers to find teaching jobs anyway), I hate translating things, and I’ve been told to try being a waitress at a steak house (their words exactly). I studied Business IT in high school, so I can work in offices. I have a high TOEIC score and recently passed EIKEN Grade 1. I’m also a volunteer at an International Center and I was recently invited to present and tell my story as an immigrant who came to Japan as a child and faced challenges learning the language. Still, I feel like my resume is not strong enough since they always need people with previous job experiences and there’s nothing I can do about that.
I have an interview for an office job tomorrow, but I’m competing against two other candidates. Any suggestions if that doesn’t work out?
Edit: As you will see in one of my responses, I feel like I failed to explain myself the right way. Maybe I didnt, a lot of people in here are right. I just wanted some suggestions for jobs I could possibly go for. Thank you all for the advice and for taking time to read and respond to my post.
