Hi everyone, first post here.
I have a life goal to immigrate to another country and I have settled on East Asia, I've narrowed down my list to Japan and Malaysia. Japan might be preferential because I like the history and so I wanted to ask, if I got a JLPT1 exam, is it very hard from within Japan to find a decent job?
I am aware of gaijinpot.com but that's has job postings for specialist roles, for example, if someone in Japan wants to hire a car mechanic they probably don't need to advertise that position to foreigners. I have I.T. qualifications but the IT jobs I see are in regards to computer programming and coding rather than server maintenance.
So I ask because I've come across two people now who started teaching English and went on to change careers from within Japan, is that common? I'll be satisfied if I end up working in translation (Ideally IT) or any general work provided it's not a waiter/toilet cleaner.
