Yeah, I think I should probably work here for at least a couple of years to gain some experience before looking for work in Japan.

Well, although I'm not a native speaker, it's the language I know best; I wasn't in ESL during school and I didn't have to take the TOEFL when applying to college, so I don't think I'll need to provide those test scores.

How was the process like? Did you apply for jobs while in America or Japan? Do the employers provide Visa support? Tell me more about the hiring process.
Thanks
