I'm thinking of going to Japan on a tourist visa and looking fast for a job. I want sponsorship.

I've heard I would be legal because I've got 11 years experience. I've only got a two-year degree from the US.

Do I have a chance? It's a dream of mine to live in Japan, so I'm willing to work hard for it.

3 years of FT related experience will be enough to get a work visa.

Whether you can find a job "fast" is completely separate. Market yourself well, do your research on jobs, and realize the shape the market is in right now.

What was your experience?
When are you planning to come? Start work?
Any restrictions on what you want to do, where you want to go, etc.?
