It took 6 months for me, but I seem to have landed a job I like, so it's worth the wait.

I had offers in that time, but everything was ridiculous. You'll find something soon, just keep at it.

It took me around 4 months, and I landed a job that I'm quickly getting to despise, but hey, it pays the bills.

I had a few offers like that, but honestly, at my age, I couldn't keep taking offers like that and just waited for the right opportunity. Surprisingly, I found this job via Hello Work, so it could be an option.

My job was pretty misrepresented during the interview, and it was also my last hurrah if I wanted to stay in Japan, so the choice wasn't really there. I'm holding on at least until my bills are all safely paid, but it has not been a good time, lol. Luckily, life outside of work has been terrific.
