Hi everyone I rarely do posts consulting things, but this quite worring. I do this post just to asking your opinion. I moved to Japan with my girlfriend three months ago, we are from Argentina, both engineers (me electronic, she civil) and we applied to Working Holiday Visa. Since we couldn’t apply for jobs from our country (because we needed to be in Japan) we started to seek for jobs here in Japan. At the moment we have tried many manners to get a job of our profession but as junior, just for doing any little technical job, but as I see is impossible. We uploaded resumes in many websites and had interviews but they reject because the Visa or the japanese level (we are studying to get N5/4) in Dicember. Do you know any simmilar case? Thank you.

Working Holiday Visas aren’t usually used to find professional work. Not many companies want to hire someone for a professional role for less than a year. Most people on Working Holiday Visas work in the service or hospitality industries.
You have to already have the visa, and then look for work.
Do you have an industry related bachelors degree? Or if no industry related degree, then 10 years of industry professional experience?
If not that could explain the hurdle.
A company won’t hire someone who they believe cannot get a work visa.
