<prompt> Human: Moved to Japan to start a family with the spouse and our newborn 3 months ago. Have been living with the in-laws, but they need to kick us out to make room for their elderly parents. So we need to move out and make ends meet when that happens, 3 months from now. Our savings are dwindling, if nothing changes, well probably run out in March. 5 months from nowIm trying to avoid teaching english as a job if it can be helped, because in order to finish my CFA Chartered Financial Analyst designation, I need 4 years of experience in the banking industry. I dont want to delay that professional development or potentially get into a situation where I get stuck teaching english, when the Tokyo Stock Exchange, basically a hub for my desired profession, is only a little over an hour on transit from here.The wife can start working at a low-paying part time job, but someone has to take care of the baby - which costs me some of my limited study time needed for degreecfaJapanese or costs us money in childcare bills.Also I need full-time employment by May or we start to have Visa difficulties.All my job experience in North America for the past ten years has been as a security guard.My education includes a few certificates for Finance and a diploma for Finance, Ill be done my bachelors degree in business administration in January via internet correspondance, and Ive passed the level 1 of the CFA Chartered financial analyst exam.On a resume, listing all these certificatesthe diplomathe degreeprogress with the CFA designation, all look good, but I dont have any experience in the banking industry yet.Ive been studying Japanese for 4 years mostly spoken, but talking with Japanese people requires a fair bit of patience on their part - so trying to do a typical bank teller job or something customer service would probably be disastrous.Im not even sure what kinds of entry level banking jobs there are, other than being a teller.I barely know how to go about getting a non-teller banking job in North America, let alone in Japan. My wife can help me with the Japanese internet, but she doesnt know anything about the industry really.Any informationadvice would be greatly appreciated, my best idea right now is to just start knocking on the doors of banks with my resume in hand..?  <response>: Youre in a really tough spot. Without knowing the language or having significant experience, Im not sure youll get far. My recommendation is to look at international banks or the finance arm of US-based corporations that have offices in Japan and apply broadly to anything remotely related toFinance. I mean, if youre looking at teller jobs that are not truly financial but customer service, the finance aspect is less important.
