Hi , i am a 27 year old irish guy currently living in Galway in the west of Ireland. i have a japanese girlfriend and a quite a few japanese friends. I have been to japan on Holiday already. I liked it immensely. i want to go there to work. I have a diploma in graphic design and have graphic design work experience. I currently for a medical devices company. I am naturally a fluent english speaker. I have a little bit of japanese. i would like to teach but do not have teaching experience or relevent credentials. Am i out of my depth or is there anything out there for me at the moment? I am keen to hear your response. thanks Tadhg.

What do you in the medical devices job? Sales? Graphic design?
There have been a number of jobs avdertised with European Medical Devices companies of late. Also, if you have any medical knowledge or significant communication experience, a few medical communications agencies need both creative and design staff, esp for Japanese clients looking to sell abroad or in Asia, OCC, TLM, Pharma International, Medicus, Elsevier, Axel Springer, to name a few.

Otherwise, there are dozens of posts here on these forums on the English teaching market. Suggest you look there first, as that is not my area.
