Hi, Sam, really great content and I think I found you from Loretta's channel. I've seen some other channels referencing this topic but your coverage is the most cogent. Thank you!
welcome back, me and my wife missed you. glad you are safe
nice to see you again sam ! more videos !
Well done Sam! You provided a great foundation and the links for others to get an idea how they may work and live in Japan. Thank you for providing this vital information. 🙌
I will be purchasing Sticky Study for my poor iPad that I need to really start using more.
For the specified skills visa, I remember reading some time ago that you might be able to stay there more and bring dependents after 5 years if you meet certain criteria (i.e. learn Japanese or get some kind of certification for the respective field). I don't know what was decided in the meantime but I do hope that the situation stabilizes soon. I was sorry to hear about the hardships of people who moved with this visa. I believe anyone who is willing to adapt and work hard should have the right to stay there if they give it their best. Thank you, Sam, for the video! Nice to see you, as always! :)
truly thank you for all of this info
Sam, you are a godsend! The jargon pro tip/kindle tip are a huge plus.

Thanks for another useful video. Would love, if you make more videos based on the "Digital Marketing" profession.
How interesting. I am an Software Engineer, didn't know it would be "easy" to get a job over there. I couldn't imagine working in an environment where my coworkers don't speak English.
Thanks for sharing
I think my best bet is to come over with an English teaching job and then apply to non-teaching jobs after that. There are a decent amount of non-teaching jobs that I can apply to online, which say nothing about needing Japanese proficiency, but I think these companies would be more willing to hire me if I’m already in Japan. 😓
After watching this. Japan is just a tourist stop to me. Unless I win the lottery, It would only be for vacations. Your looking great thanks for sharing.
I am a UX designer and am hoping to move to Japan from the US once I pay off my student loans and have learned more Japanese. I’ve looked now and again at the job market and it seems decent for international design and UX talent. I really like your tip about finding a book about your specialty!
UI/UX designer should also be able to find jobs here as easy as IT engineers.
brooo belive japan is haaard
Well, it's nice to know that I could possibly be an auto mechanic in Japan.
I'm interested to get a working holiday visa but I'm wondering once the year is over what visa should I get after that so I can stay in Japan?
interesting, i'm also working in digital marketing but i would never have classified myself under humanities/engineering
I'm a bachelors degree in engineering, do i need to have a liscence in order to work in japan as an engineer?
I am going to graduate in Spring 2021 with a dual degree in Marketing and East Asian Studies (Japan Focus). What advice do you have for breaking into the marketing world in Japan (other than speak Japanese and know another culture).
"Go to the Japanese KENDALL store'" ;) heheh I hate that.. my kindle says "Kendall's Kindle"
Thanks for the great advice and tips~
I have a Associates degree in IT plus I have completed around 140 college credits, but I could not obtain a Bachelor's degree.
I have a teaching degree in the US. I feel like this should make it relatively easy for me to work in Japan for a short period of time but I don’t know how to go about doing it. Since I’m an actual teacher with experience I don’t really want to work as the classic “English teacher” in Japan but I don’t know if there are any other options for foreign teachers
About the engineer requiring no japanese comment, I guess you should specify that you are talking about IT engineers in specific because almost all the major Japanese (and international) civil/mechanical engineering companies need at least a JLPT N2 which is one of the main reasons as to why most of the intl graduates (from even top japanese uni's) majoring in engg often are unable to get a job here and go back or elsewhere :)
Thanks for clarifying, shows how much I know about engineering 😂 all I know is some of my “engineer” friends don’t need to know Japanese haha
@@SamInTokyoo no worries video like these are so hard to make since everyone wants to know if they can do their job here but it is so hard to know about all the specializations and have friends from all fields to give them proper answers xD anyways cheers for still making such a comprehensive video dude, looking forward to more awesome stuff from you ^^
True. In Japanese too, people often use the word 'engineer' pointing to 'IT engineer'. However, as you mentioned, there are many kinds of engineering.
Btw, IT engineer could be mobile enginner, web engineer, backend engineer, server-side engineer, front-end engineer, software engineer, SRE engineer, infra engineer machine learning engineer, AI engineer etc... Just too many kinds of IT engineer. It's very confusing!
@@MM-gc1im hehe true true, same goes for civil engineer it could be geotechnical, coastal, structural, environmental, GIS, waste, etc and all of these have further divisions within them xD "engineer" is a super broad term!
@@parencreates865 Yes, Paren!!
Wie kann man in der jetzigen Lage, ein Praktums Visa bekommen/beantragen?
can one be an english teacher without a degree? im not talking about ALTs and alts programmes
I’m 18 and I don’t wanna go to college can I even make it?
Sister,
I have completed BE bachelor degree in part time. It will be considered for engineering visa.?
Flying just before Christmas to Kobe language school. The only obstacle now is that f... covid test result obtained within 72 hours prior to departure.
Good luck! You’re gonna have a great time at language school I’m sure
"frickin' kanji!" lol
Hi Sam I would like to ask a few first I have absolutely no Japanese language but slowly learning the problem is that I would either work as a assistant librarian or anything tat had to do with communication is that possible with no degree and also what type of visa do I need to work in either or side
Hey, it’s not possible to work without a degree unless you have 10 years of relevant work experience. If you wanna be a librarian you’d probably need perfect Japanese too 🤔 communications can be covered in the humanities visa
@@SamInTokyoo dang it can't belive I have to learn even more Japanese just to get into my dream job everyday all day job 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭if only I could learn as I go as an assistant librarian
is translation/ interpretation a popular job for foreigners?
Hi, I wanted to ask, I have A bachelor degree in social work, what jobs would I be able to do in Japan, besides teaching?
You can do social distancing here
一般的な語「純粋」ならまだしも、業界専門用語の英訳を機械翻訳で得ることを勧める、ってのはどうかなかなぁ。機械翻訳側に特定業界の語彙が豊富、とは思えないけど。。。まぁ、個人的な経験の開示ってことなんだろうけどね。俺の専門分野（ちなみに半導体製造装置の開発・製造）でそれやったらとんでもない英訳がボコボコ出てくるんで、デジタルマーケティング分野では状況が異なるんだろうなぁ。
Does a veterinarian fall under medical?
Thanks for this great video! If you work for a US company (in my case, a CMO), can you still get a work visa? My job is remote, and Japan is definitely on my shortlist.
You can try but they prefer you working for a Japanese company if it’s remote
Probably no. There is no legal justification or sponsorship for a work visa if you're working for a US company remotely.
@@yo2trader539the economic justification is that they would bring money into the country (rent, food) , but not all countries ascribe to this . Some like Argentina make it easy, others like Japan, don't
sam is so pretty! 🙈
Top 3 Reasons to go to Japan:
1. Live in a clean, orderly culture.
2. Lots of natural and aesthetic beauty.
3. Take Sam on a date. ;)
4. The High-Tech Toilets
Hey
Whats the name of the app you're using??? 😋
Sticky study kanji
where does a translator job fit under in Japan? humanities, skilled labor or something else? oh and thanks for the pro tips! :D
Specialist in humanities!
@@SamInTokyoo have you ever considered pursing a translator job (especially in Japan)?
No :)
So you want to be a marketing professional and get a permanent residence visa in Japan?
I guess I technically am a marketing professional already lol but yes I’d like PM very much
@@SamInTokyoo ( っ･ω･)っPM
大学中退者。。。N1は持ってるけど
I neend working visa piz hilp me?
You must have started as an English language teacher though right.
Nope! Straight into marketing
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!!!
I love your videos 💞 I hate the word visa!! Lol I don't understand why countries don't just open their boundaries and let people move freely working wherever they want... It's not only Japan, all countries put a lot of requirements to get a work visa, and then you have lazy People with just the correct passport... It's just unfair
I agree. It’s sad they basically judge who is “worthy” to live in a country
You've lost quite some weight. Have you resumed yosakoi? Whatever you're doing, it's working out!
It’s just the camera 😂
Plot Twist: I put on J-pop music and pretend I live in Japan, much easier 👌
The titel baitet me.. why is this english?? xD
