Blue Collar Transition

Hello,

I’m currently a US citizen living in the US and I’m looking to transition my profession and life to Japan. I work in a specialized industry for Wind Turbines. Over the past two months I have been relentlessly applying to open positions in Japan in my field of work. I’ve gotten two reviews out of the many applications that I’ve sent in, but both resulted in rejections. I have been self studying for over a year and I’m at roughly an N4 level but have not taken the JPLT. I am considering taking an alternate path of going to language school in Japan and then applying for a job in my field of experience. Does anyone have experience in a blue collar profession that has gone down a similar path, but successfully obtained a work visa in Japan? Any insight would be greatly appreciated☺️
