Yes, I know that feeling, it's so easy to forget a language if you don't exercise every day :( Don't worry though, your japanese knowledge is stored somewhere in your brain, when you are coming back here you will quickly regain what you knew! What kind of engineer are you? You should definitely look for a job, I heard that engineers make good money here! About the visa, who is going to sponsor you? Because even if you can't extend the working holiday visa you can ask for a new, proper working visa if a company is willing to sponsor you. In my case I had a one year student visa and after graduation I found a company that sponsored a new working visa. But, as I said, I wasn't actually allowed to look for a job after graduating, I was lucky ;) About the girls, it's not that you should avoid them, but approach them with caution and a HUGE amount of patience. Dating a japanese girl is usually a long and expensive process and you can't never be sure about the outcome. Or maybe I've been VERY unlucky. But the reward is usually worth it, they are super hot! :) |
I'm an industrial engineer, so pretty much "universal" engineer with a bit of formation about several subjects (electricity, materials, chemistry, programming...), but more focused on production, management, logistics and other factory tasks. I've been more or less looking for an engineer job in Japan, but they all ask for a good language level, that's why I want to train first ^^.
The "Holliday work" visa (at least that's how it's called here) doesn't ask for a sponsor as far as I know, it's like a regular Holliday visa, but it allows you to work there as well for a year max. But I've read that we can't extend it from Japan, so I might have to come back to France and then ask for another Visa. Well, if everything runs smoothly, I won't complain for a Japan-France-Japan trip!
