   **Visa for overseas sales job.**

   Hi.

   Just got offered a job in Tokyo for overseas sales.

   All is great and I can’t wait to join the company, but I have one problem.

   My degree has nothing to do with sales. The visa I have to get should be International Services. From what I see and what I have been reading, there is a requirement for 3 years of experience or a degree in a related field.

   The company didn’t say that it would be a problem at any point. They have other foreigners working there so they do have experience with hiring foreigners.

   Also important to mention I will enter as a 新卒(shinsotsu).

   What I want to ask is, has anyone been through this situation before? (I mean obtaining a CoE for overseas sales without prior experience) Is that requirement irrelevant even with my degree being in sports? I heard that they don’t really care as long as you have a degree but some confirmation would help.

   Thanks!

   Generally speaking a bachelor’s degree is considered a well rounded education and is applicable to most work oriented statuses of residence.

   So you’ll probably be fine.
