Hi! This video is so helpful. I’m so happy you’re uploading again! I have a question; do you think having a college degree is necessary? I’m currently not planning / able to go to a college and it concerns me. I’ve also heard that you usually have to have passed an N4 JPT for most jobs, was that true for you?
Hey! Great Question :) I think it depends on the job but in my case most of my first part time jobs did not require a college degree! If you want to do a job in a Japanese environment, you definitely need to learn some Japanese but not all jobs require that you pass the JLPT N4 first. If you are attending Japanese language school and you let them know what level of Japanese you're studying that can also help as well!
Hi! I’m new here in Japan with a student visa. Just wanna ask what was your visa during your stay and how did you get through 4+ years with the said visa?
Hey, you think that non-native speakers of English can get a job like that, the one you stayed for two years? I mean, having almost native pronunciation level type of thing. I'm not sure, but they test you to check if they like your speaking abilities or they just care if your country native language is English? I mean, I guess japanese people can't really tell westerns apart anyway. In my case I'm from Brazil, but have been using English for the longest time. Btw, thanks for sharing all the amazing tips about Japan that you did in this channel years past. Still being helpful. This showed up spontaneously to me lol
Great question! I think it’s easy to study and work at the same time once you’ve settled down and adjusted to your busy life as a student first.Once you feel comfortable, you can definitely add in a part time job to the equation but it also depends on what kind of job you want to do and how often you work and that’s completely up to you!
Hello Hazina, i really enjoyed watching your vids. Ive checked your site as well and I've read your article when you were lost in Tokyo ( I had the same experience when I was in HongKong) and then you were reminded to walk by faith and not by sight 😇 I feel like you are a good person 🥰 Love from PH 🌱
Awe that's such a sweet thing of you to say! Thank you so much for watching my videos and reading my blog too! I'm so glad to hear that you had a similar experience as mine! You seem like a really good person too! ❤️
Great Question! Honestly, I think you should learn Japanese first because it'll help you live more comfortably when you eventually move to Japan! Also not all colleges offer Japanese courses so your better off learning in your home country or going to Japanese language school for a little while before you start college just in case!
