@chrisw: actually OP needs to be near to native-level fluent in Japanese if he/she wants to work at any company in Japan. Most if not all companies in Japan require foreigners to be at least N2 level of the JLPT, or Japanese Language Proficiency Exam. I’ve been learning Japanese for a couple of years now and I’m not N2 level yet. Plus with foreigners they don’t really look at GPA, but whether you know enough Japanese to be able to function in an all-Japanese speaking environment, because even if you have a high GPA, if you can’t understand more than half of what’s going on in the workplace, you’re basicaly useless to them.
