Jobs in Japan for Amercians?

Question:


I'm a student in America, but I have Japanese citizenship also, and I love Japan. I want to live there in the future, and was looking for a job suited for Americans in Japan. I have met some people who moved to Japan from America, and they said that there are many jobs out there that Americans are able to get, maybe not easily, but it is possible. I am willing to work for any job, as long as it is in Japan. Anybody know of ANYTHING in Japan that I could find? Thankyou so much in advance!

Answer:


If you really have Japanese citizenship, you are Japanese American with dual citizenship, right?
You didn't tell us how old you are, but you must choose your nationality when you turn 22 years old, otherwise, you will lose your Japanese citizenship. You know that, right?

OK, then, you can stay in Japan as a Japanese citizen even though you enter Japan with your US passport (if your birth certificate was legally registered in Japan when you were born). If so, you can expect to get a job if you can speak fluent Japanese and some skills and qualifications effective in Japan.

Repeat:
If you choose US citizenship when you turn 22 years old, you will be a "foreigner" (legally). Then, most probably, your employer would fire you. Because they don't want to go through all the complicated legal procedures to keep you in their companies unless you have a special talent or capability that no Japanese have.
