Not directly replying to anyone in particular but this has got to be the
most shit I have heard for along time....
Hey Uk guy come on over and u will find work, problem with these guys is
hardly any of them work in a professional field so they don't know shit.
Most are English teachers and translaters and so forth.

Your main problem u say u r in IT but from ur exp u r only desktop support
so therefore it is not a high demand for OS workers with those skills. the
other prob is the visa, it isn't hard to get but companies souldn't be
bothered to sponsor u with ur skillset, u need more for them to make the
effort....

But anyway the easiest thing is to come over and try and get a job with a
recruitment coy or a place like Linc media or even an investment coy as they
are always looking for desktop support but be warned it is a shitty job.
IMHO worst IT job around.

If that doesn't work out just get ur visa by teaching some Eng and then dump
it and cahnces are higher to get that support job. But in all reality u need
proper skills to work anywhere OS these days.

mail me offlist and I can provide a list of IT recruitment coys in Tokyo.
