Traveling on a J1 visa for people in their 30s

I am a man in my early 30s currently working in Japan.
I have always wanted to work in the U.S. and am considering taking a trainee job on a J1 visa to gain experience.

This program is called the American version of the work-holiday, but what is it really like?
Actually, I had planned to travel to the U.S. in the past but had to give it up because of corona. Since I am in my 30s, I wonder if it would be worth it to go if I could gain some experience, but I am wondering if it would be too subtle as I am a trainee and would not be appreciated much upon my return.

Agents have a strong business component, so they give good advice, but what is the actual situation?
By the way, my current job is IT-related, but it is not a technical job like a programmer.

If any of you have experience with this, I would like to know more about it. Best regards.

I think my high school study abroad was on a J1 visa. College was F1.

After I started working, there was a J1 visa holder in my company, but he was doing really trivial work. He was doing really trivial work, like filing paperwork that anyone could have done.
It was a black company and it was the company's fault, but he didn't seem to have any motivation or ambition, so it was understandable.

The third person above is amazing, it must have been very hard to make it on a J1 visa, the J1 visa person at my company was lamenting the gap with the H1 visa.

I am going to work in the US for the first time.
I'm part time, but
I asked the company if I could get an offer letter, and
they told me that we have never sent such a letter.
Is it standard for part time workers to not have an offer letter ?
Sorry for my ignorance, but is it dangerous to start working in this situation ?
I have filled out the W-4form and UPCIS.

I've never met anyone who asked for an offer letter every single time, and I've never requested one.
I didn't care if it was part time or full time, some had it and some didn't. When you say dangerous...? Worried about getting in trouble later if the conditions were different...?

I have no experience as a waitress,

I am thinking of working about twice a week at first.

Since I have no experience, I assume there will be a training period

approximately how long will I be training ?

and will I be paid during the training period ??

What are the reasons for not being hired after the training period ?


Also, is there anything else you can tell me about the places that are often looking for employees ?

and other

Any advice, information, etc. would be very helpful.

I don't lick waitressing, and everyone starts out at the entry level in any profession.
What do you mean by schooling in the waitressing business? Most people learn on the job.
Topi says she wants to work about 2 times a week, but she is going to school to study?
If you're going to go that far, then you're an experienced waitress who went to school to learn the trade, right?
Can you give me the name of that school?
And tell me which restaurant you worked at.

It's normal to be apprehensive at first about anything.
I'm the same way.
But you have to do it to get started, so I hope you can turn your anxiety into excitement.

You'll get an hourly wage ( probably a minium ) even during training. I believe it starts out with no tip, and the % of the tip gradually increases according to your ability. This is usually decided by the head waitress.

The length of time depends on the store and your ability, so it is hard to say, but I think you can expect about 1 ~ 2 months. During the training ( you are not in the ) headcount unless there is something wrong with you, so you will get used to the store and your training will be over quickly if you try to spend as many days in the store as possible.

I think waitressing is much better than working in an office in a Japanese company. Waitresses are busy.

In an office, the ladies gossip, talk behind your back, and complain … It's an eternal loop. If I don't attend the wasteful gossip meetings, people say "she doesn't socialize well" or "she's so strange" lol.

They think waitresses are shady ?
Some of them even scrape their fingernails down to the wood patterns on the tables to inspect them when they wipe the tables.
A store with a bunch of crazies is frequently recruiting.
The owners, collectively, don't waste money ? paying them.
Bigger stores are better than smaller ones.
Better to be American-based.

I hear some people say that working in nursing care at a young age is a waste of time, what do you think?
The pay is low, there is no sense of working for a company, no sense of skill development? I don't feel like I'm working for a company, I don't feel like I'm improving my skills, and I certainly don't feel ...... The pay is low, there is no sense of working for a company, there is no sense of skill development, and there are certainly some things I think about.
I'd like to know what people think, and if anyone is working as a caregiver, I'd like to know their age.

If it's a job you think you want to do, try your hardest first.
It's not as easy as it sounds, if you get down to the nitty gritty of nursing work, it's better to have a nursing license.

There are places that send your resume
without telling you the name of the company or what kind of job it is.
I am afraid that my
personal information will be sent to a place I don't know ?
And these are the only places that rarely contact me or
ask me for unnecessary personal information with a mechanical reply.

There are only 2 good temp agencies ( These 2 are
solid ) and all the others are
not doing their job, not only is it not worth using
it's scary.

I'd rather apply to a place I
know than use any of the other two,
but I guess that's not true.

Temp agencies do not give a good impression.
Temp agencies that handle various types of jobs all together, temp agencies for nursing care, temp agencies for manufacturing and warehousing... They are desperate to attract people and try to introduce jobs somehow without saying anything but good things.
I have registered with several temp-staff agencies and have been referred to them, but I still feel that it is better to look for a job by myself.
I also know some temp-staff agencies that do not ask for the name of the client company in advance, and I wonder how this system works.

I am Self Employed and received unemployment insurance from the PUA.
Like numerous others, I received a Notice and appeal form requesting a refund.

I am an individual fiduciary who rents equipment in the store. I probably do not have a formal outsourcing agreement with the store
and I do not have a business license myself.

I filed a 1099-MISC last month and received a Notice requesting a refund with no effect.

I was supposed to return to work in September at my place of employment, but it was recently postponed to after 2022. However, my department is one that has no problem with remote work, so as of July, I will be working remotely permanently. I heard that some departments are thinking about hybrid work, but it seems to be a hassle because they have to distribute laptop computers. 

Even though this is a permanent remote assignment, it does not mean that the employee can work from overseas like in Japan, but the employee has to reside in California. Last month I went downtown to pick up some personal belongings and the traffic was already heavy.
