what has to be done is to take away the stereotyping of the gaijin.
employers say "NO" the first time they hear that the job seeker is a gaijin even if they're told that this person speaks fluent Nihongo.
i'm not saying that this is a lost cause and at least you can see that the local government is doing something, but i just wish employers open their minds for a bit and try to really help by giving the gaijin a chance.
I totally agree with this blog. I lost my job last month and found work here on www.bigjobsboard.com
