I’ve heard of gaijinpot, but I was wondering about any other good places. I have little Japanese knowledge. No where near conversational. And I don’t feel qualified to “teach” English. Thank you.
Check your school’s co-op (大学生協) for job postings. Afaik these are still usually paper and pinned to a bulletin board.

Do you have a pulse? If so, you’re qualified. If you have a genki personality and can speak English, that’s a nice bonus. Basic hygiene habits are optional but appreciated.
TownWork, if that’s still a thing. When I was a student they had booklets in stations etc. Maybe they’re digitized now.
Local tourism agencies.
You’re best option I think is hello work. They have jobs like that, packing, bento, factory work, conbini etc. All of hello work positions are listed on indeed so have a look there also.
Craigslist but be careful.
indeed is great for pt jobs. I found my pt job working at a business hotel there, I clean the rooms so not much language skills required. you can also look up on google if your local supermarkets are hiring
Baitoru and townwork are probably your best bet. Lots of restaurant jobs, conbini, etc.
They have English versions of their sites. Also, if you check the box that says 外国人・留学生 , it’ll show you jobs that are more foreigner friendly and might require less Japanese.
