You need at least a BA / BS degree, but that’s about it.
Those are the visa requirements for teaching positions – and most schools only care about that. As long as you look “foreign” and your English pronunciation sounds good, that’s usually enough.

For us non-native speakers it’s much harder.
It’s almost impossible to get a visa if you don’t have some kind of qualification in the English teaching field.

Such as being graduated from some major associated with languages, if you are not a native English speaker.

I have been worried about applying to these kinds of jobs all along and I have been having second thoughts about it. My native language is Turkish, I am speaking business level English and Japanese. I currently live in Turkey but I have been in Nagasaki for one year before.

I don’t have any working experience but I’m still trying to get my masters thesis done so I haven’t really had any time to actually “work”.

I graduated from Fisheries Technology Engineering which referes to the “people come here with degrees in stuff that no one needs.” LoL. I ask myself often what I am actually doing, spending my time doing a some no-good-for-anybody research and not being actually productive…

But still, I love fish, I love researching about them, I love the scent of the laboratory… But I also love learning Japanese and English, I knew Japan was my dream-land, and I veryfied that in that 11 months that I lived in Japan. I also love teaching and I love having a diciplined life but having fun at the same time…

Well, clearly I’m really confused for the time being. I don’t know what to do.

I don’t even know if any of these makes any sense or anybody even cares… :)

Sorry for the disturbance. :)

or really find a work with skills of designer long hair, manicure/pedicure, massages,cosmetologist?(in this sphere of work i will have experience)

in both case, i mean only jobs with visa support:)
