Hello,
I was hoping that someone could answer a few of the questions that I have about getting a job in Japan.
So let me tell you about myself, currently I am trying to get a diploma in the field of computing and information technologies on a university in Slovenia and am planning to try and get a masters degree from that same field as well, my native language is Slovene, I am fluent in English, know quite a bit of German(which I could improve on if the need be) and am trying to learn Japanese as well.
I have read that many people start working in Japan with the help of exchange programs such as JET, however, to my knowledge programs such as JET are meant for teachers. Sadly, I have no real life experience with Japan, something which I hope to change in the next 2-3 years while I try and get my masters degree.
So the questions I would like to know the answer to are:
-Is it possible to get work and an appropriate visa in Japan as a foreigner from a non-English speaking EU country with a masters degree in computing and information technologies, and if yes are the chances good or bad? What are the language requirements, do you have to be completely fluent in Japanese?
-I have heard that workplaces are very competitive in Japan, which causes Japanese people to be unaccepting/rude to foreigners that come to work there. This is something that seems silly to me, however, since I do not have any experience with life in Japan I would like to hear the opinion from someone that has had a chance to find that out for themselves.
Thank you in advance for any useful information.
