@Han Solo, the problem is, it's very difficult for a Gaijin to get somewhere to live in Japan... Japanese owner often ask for a Japanese people who can be responsible for you. Generally, they don't trust Gaijin.
That's why, almost companies in Japan, ask you to already live in Japan. Like this, they're sure, you won't have any problem to live somewhere, and they won't have to find you a flat.

But, try to apply... We never know. May be some companies could be interested in your profile!

Good Luck!

I forgot an important thing. If you apply and if a company is interested in your profile, they will probably want to do an interview with you...

Are you ready to pay a round-trip for nothing...

But, try... We don't know if you don't try!

@Daimaou: Not necessarily. Certainly isn't a problem in Europe. And to be honest, a job site on an international site aimed at international viewers - but only offer job ads for residents is pretty pointless. Why have it at all if it serves almost no purpose?
I realize the problem, but it's a japanese problem. Keep it japanese then. Now it's just an execise in Japanese-English translation and only mildly interesting.

That's the point, regardless of japanese cultural issues, why put job ads here for which most readers can't apply?

Wow !

$2500 to $4000 / month in Japan ?

That's awful, is nothing !

Only to living (alone) there you will spent a lot more than $1000/mo (rental, transport, food, gas, phone, etc, etc), more like $1500~$2000, so getting $4k will be more like $2k/mo in reality.

I would said, hell NO thanks !

@Kei: well if I were to go to Japan for interviews I would plan for some tourism as well or the other way round... use a pleasure trip for a couple of interviews

Hey guys, if you give up just beacause it's written you need to live in Japan... Of course, you'll haven't any chance to get something!

Just try! Like I did before I Came in Akihabara News' team.

It's not easy, but if you don't apply, of course you won't get a job.

If you try, may be...

If you are the right guy with the right profile, there are no boundaries for Job. But you have to understand that among our readers 24% of them are foreigners living in Japan, and many others are planning to live here.

yep just like disful had said that there is no harm in applying & most probably u won't be selected if u aren't residing in nihon but there might still be a slight chances for some positions & i don't think flying there for interviews is a sole solutions for the interview it can be done thru phones or video conferencing considering the advances in technology....

i basically fail at all the jobs except for the english teaching positions. the pay isn't that great unless you just left college or you're out of a job or you just retired in your 50's with supplemental income.

the better positions require japanese fluency which I'm not.

i'll just continue taking vacations in japan.

bummer.
