Aussie passport holder speaks fluent Japanese

[pinklemonae]

Hi there..

I am wondering what the options are for a native born in Australia who speaks fluent Japanese?

I have an Australian passport and my parents were born here.

What airlines could I work for internationally? I was thinking JAL, maybe Cathay Pacific?

Thanks

With an Australian passport you can only work in Australia!!!

... or NZ, or for a while in the UK and some other European countries (depending on your age and ancestry) and anywhere else where you can get a work visa. It's also recently been made easier for Aussies to get US work permits.

What sort of job do you want? Sharp-end or cabin?

You won't have to look far on these boards to get a few ideas of what airlines are hiring and from where. Use the 'Search' facility.

Thanks.

I was also thinking about JAL. Apparently they have one english speaker on board at the moment?

I am looking at Cabin to begin with. I am also considering working in the UK for a while until I can apply for a UK passport..

Anyway, I am going back to Japan this year so I'm sure I'll get some ideas then.

You can work for JAL, but at their Canadian base. All JAL crew have to be able to speak English. But some do it better than others ;o).

I also speak Japanese (NZ passport) and would love to work for JAL ... but am very happy with where I am at the moment.

Good luck :ok:
