Finding Jobs on a Working Holiday

I’m planning to move to Japan for 6 months this fall on a working holiday visa and my only concern is the actual working part.

I actually really want to work and would happily work somewhere for 5 months straight, but I am worried about job availability. I’ve been trying to look online for any resources for finding jobs on a working holiday visa and I can’t really find anything (although maybe my Google skills just suck).

I will have enough savings to pay my rent at home and my rent at a share house in Japan, but I will need to rely on employment income to pay for food, entertainment and transit.

Can anyone shed light on the process of finding a job in this scenario, where to look and what to look for? Is there even a point in me doing this?

For reference, I do know SOME Japanese (but definitely N5 level), am currently a college professor and I have an Honours BCOMM degree.

many fans would like to see gabe kidd be the next leader of bullet club as he makes the group seem like a legit threat but i think drilla is also a fair candidate for it as i think he has the appeal and enough draw to be jr heavyweight champion and beyond. thoughts?
