Looking for Part Time Work...

Today i went to this Company which is called "Hello Work". I'm not sure it's a public or private organization, but they help people and foreigners find work in japan.

They were very kind and organized. The reason i went today is that on Thursday they have a Japanese/English Interpreter.

It took a while to get everything prepared. After filling-in some forms, they asked me about my work experience and looked for some open positions.

Of course this is only a part time job to help me going with expenses. Unfortunately (A) i'm allowed to work only 4 hours a day and (B) the pay ranges from 800 yen to 1500 yen / hour.

The work position for which they asked me to mail my CV is for Photoshop Retouch/Designer which is not my main area of work, but that shouldn't be a problem. The pay is 800 Yen/hour + travel expenses. Since this work place is located in Osaka i would need about 1 hour travel to get there.

Even if it's not so convenient to get there for just about 3 hours of work, having an activity there, might help me using the Japanese I've learned so far... and save some costs...

In any case, i'm still evaluating, because this would "cost" me 5 hours of study-time to get about 2400 yen (25 dollars) a day... is it worth?...

My classmates for 800 yen/hour are washing dishes at restaurants...and don't need to travel that far... but of course I would prefer to work with computers than washing dishes...besides, added to my CV later on, it might be of some value... dont' you think? ;)
