Whilst this is true there is a higher demand for certain jobs in certain countries, thus if you're qualified in an area for which there is a demand then you'll be more likely to get a job. Example, I heard that there is a large demand for nurses in Australia, so a nurse would find getting a job easier than other areas. In Japan there seems to be a demand for English teachers, and IT, and so these jobs are easier to get than others.
If you're qualified in something and fluent in Japanese then you probably could easily get a job in that area, however you'd be competing against Japanese nationals, so the liklihood of getting said job is no different to competing for it in your home country.
