is Skilled Labor. I would like to find a job that is more stable and pays more.
Since April 2019, Japan has welcomed skilled workers who qualify for the "Specified Skilled
Workers" status of residence in 14 industrial fields. Because you mentioned that you worked ata restaurant as a cook, you may be able to obtain this status of residence in the food service
industry. After receiving this status of residence, you can work at any restaurant. In order togain this status of residence, you need to pass a Japanese language test (JFT-Basic or JLPT
above N4 level) and a skills proficiency test. For information on textbooks and sample
questions, see the website.
