Asian applying Jobs in Japan

Hi, I am Chinese by etnicity but was raised and lived in Australia all my life. Trying to apply to a teaching job in Japan. I met some people who have been trying said that it'll be hard cuz the "western" face is what they're looking for. Is this true? Is there such discrimation?

Is there any chance for me? :(

Thanks

It is not so much your face. But you english speaking background. Basicly they prefer teachers that have english as their first language. If you have lived in Australia your whole schooling life, you should have no issue unless you carry the typical asian acent.

I know someone from Asia (with Asian physical features) who grew up in New Zealand, and she found a job teaching English in Japan, though the school initially had doubts about her. It went well when she actually got interviewed. It would be the same for you I guess. If you went to school fully in Australia, that should be fine.
