I'm 21F, half Japanese half Viet, currently searching for jobs in Japan as a bar staff/hostess or any low level jobs that don't require Japanese. I'm also a citizen of Japan so I won't need any visa sponsorship.
My Background: I was born in Japan and lived there until I was 6, but I was very disconnected from Japan growing up. I was never curious nor wanting to discover my Japanese heritage until the recent years
My Skillset: I'm a uni dropout, high school diploma is my highest education, speak English fluently, no Japanese. I'm 2 years into the Graphic design field and currently working for a creative agency in Vietnam.
I'm very self-aware that it's extremely difficult for me to find jobs in Japan in the graphic design field since I don't speak the language, I'm also not that good with my skills for international companies in Japan as its very competitive. Therefore I might as well start low with manual work like bar staff or any positions that don't require Japanese
My question: Are there any bar staff positions that don't require Japanese, probably in Roppongi (as far as I know it's the touristy area where most night clubs are located in)? How did you guys get such a job before? What is the best approach? Do I have to be physically in Japan to get the jobs? Will they want an in-person interview?
Thanks a lot for your time! Very much appreciate every of your comments
Edit 1: How much money is considered relatively safe to have in savings while searching for jobs in Japan??
