Hello Everyone!
I am a male in my mid 20s, I recently graduated with a Masters Degree in IoT with Data Science in the UK and now I am currently here on a graduate visa. I also hold a Bachelors Degree in Mechatronics Engineering with Honours in Malaysia. I have 0 working experience apart from internships and I believe they wont count. Life has not been easy recently, everything has been going in the opposite direction career wise and financially. Trying to secure a job role here has been difficult and no luck so far. I have done few projects during my time in both universities and I am actively learning the Japanese Language.
I have decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and actually do things that make me happy. I started to use my time to improve my Japanese language and so far it has been good and kept me motivated. I dont have any JLPT certifications yet so you could say I am a N5 level haha. I am focussing on improving my resume too.
Japan has always peaked my interest ever since I was a kid. I even made close Japanese friends when I was doing my bachelors degree in Malaysia from whom I learned alot about their lifestyle. When I imagine myself in the future, I see myself in Japan. I am aware that working in Japan can be very challenging and it is something I have known since the beginning and I am still willing to accept it.
Some people have suggested me to be an ALT since I have 12+ years of education in English but I dont think its the right way for me, So I did not try it. I want to work in a field related to my study. So a reality check or Suggestions/Advice will be much appreciated. I am willing to put in the work that is needed.
