Hi all!!
I'm 19 and have been in Japan for the past 5 months studying in a Language school. I'm a english native speaker and am also fluent in Mandarin by roots. I speak pretty basic Japanese and have been trying to look for a part time job to no avail. I have a valid work permit and everything else required and despite my persistent efforts in calling up all sorts of places. They all said 'ippai desu'.. I prolly called about 50 places all in all and really cannot understand if its fully hired then why bother sticking the poster outside the shop then... and my phone bill...><
Urghhh..in fact for the past months I have been going to job agencies, checking forums and various websites.. you name it I've prolly been there.
I'm desperate for a job!!!!! I feel that my Japanese would benefit from getting a job here rather than all the textbook cramming.
I've also registered myself on tutor sites teaching english and the infrequent lessons really make me DEPRESSSSSSSS!
Anyways I sure hope that somebody can help point me in the right direction..I'm looking at a bleak path ahead and really I dont want to wait until my Japanese level to be realllly good..by then it would be quite pointless and I'd prolly be heading elsewhere already..
I do feel really sad and moppy and unmotivated to stay in Japan anymore.. its like the magic is gone and fading.. =x
anyways
cheers!
