/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm moving to Japan this fall due to my husband's work transfer. Since it's such short notice, I don't think I can get my own work visa until we've landed. I'd like to work full time instead of the permitted 28 hours part time work allowed for dependent visas since wages are kind of low in Japan.

For those in Japan now, what jobs or industries are you currently working in? I am a designer by trade with a BA degree and 6 years of experience in fashion and licensing. I'll be hitting up my contacts but I'm curious if there are other designers here -who are not fluent in Japanese- that were able to get a design-related job. I don't plan on teaching English and am not a social media buff. We will be living in Tokyo and I'm also a Lolita.
