Hi

I am sure this group has been bombarded with questions of this nature
countless times, so I will be brief.

My situ:
29 year male, conversational Japanese,  Applied Science degree halfway
complete, 8 years IT support experience.

My goal:
Work in Tokyo, for Investment Bank - IT support.

Question:
Will a lack of a completed degree rule me out totally from a work visa
sponsorship? I don't seem to fit too neatly into any of the listed
categories eg
professor, researcher, skilled labour etc etc. I heard somewhere that if you
have enough work experience, then you may get around the degree requirement.
Could anyone put me in touch with a headhunter/recruitment agent who is in
the know in Tokyo?

Thanks, any advice is appreciated.
