Jobs for non Westerners

Hi,
I'm from Egypt,I've been interested in Japan for a vey long time and I love almost everything Japanese, from culture through anime till history and religion,I now want to go to Japan and find a job,I've been trying to find one over the net as an English instructor,but no company paid attention,I speak English at a native level,but it seems they only want westerners,so can I find a job as an English instructor (or even any other kind of job?)
thx

Are you a native English speaker, or are you saying you are not a native English, but speak at a native level?

This may be important to potential employers, because they may want no trace of non-native accent.

thanks Sandy for answering, no, I'm not a native speaker, but I speak at a native (or almost native) level with an American accent.

interac will employ you through their subsiduaries - maxceed or selnate.

they pay you less than a non-native speaker but there isn't a whole lot in it and a visa is a visa.

although they will give you an instructor visa which isn't as good as a specialist in humanities visa. this just makes it harder to find a job if you quit.

Gaba is another company that hires proficient non-native speakers.

I also have a Pakistani friend working as an ALT- he doesn't have any of the usual native accents- he definitely sounds like a Pakistani but he got a job.

It is relatively hard to find a job from outside Japan as most companies want to interview you in person before they hire you- this is probably your main stumbling block.

thanks alot joseph,thanks alot shu,do you know that I posted a CV on Gijinpot stating that I'm currently in Tokyo and I didnt get a response from companies I sent inquiries to,also I sent to Gaba and they didnt respond.

yes,I've tried to file an online application to maxceed,but it required that I currently reside in Japan,but unfortunately I dont
