So I'm eligible for the J-Find visa in the sense that I graduated less than 5 years ago from their school list — I'm not sure how many more hurdles there are to jump other than having adequate money in my bank account.
What I'm scratching my head about is if J-Find makes finding a job in Japan any easier than getting company sponsored. That's to say if I'm already not fluent in Japanese, would getting a job really be easier by finding a company sponsor abroad than it is to find a job in Japan? I know about 1000 kanji and can have hour long conversations but I'm not gonna give myself a psuedo JLPT score cause I really don't know.
I'm happy to work anywhere doing anything, janitor, eikaiwa, bartender in a foreigner bar, etc. I'm just not sure if anyone would hire me if I'm not fluent.
My degree was in computer science and I have software engineering experience. However, I would imagine being anything less than N2 with N1 highly preferred is the bare minimum for any company, IT related or otherwise.
What do you all think? Could I realistically pay rent and put food on the table if I move with the J-Find visa? Like I said, I'm not partial to any particular career as long as I can make ends meet while I improve my Japanese.
