The Japanese economy is now officially in recession

It's official.

My Japanese teacher applied to teach English at my university. We thought she had a shot, but the college was inundated with resumes, over 100. Even the lousiest part time jobs in town get far more applicants than they can possibly accommodate.

Glad I got full time work before this kicked it. It'll be long, it'll be nasty, and it'll be worldwide.

Beautiful. The very second I start looking for a full-time job, this happens. Man.

I found your blog when I was searching around for jobs in Fukuoka. I'm a biology researcher and ideally it would be nice to find a reserach job in Fukuoka, but I have also looked into ESL in Japan as well. Would it be possible to contact you via email to get more info on your experience and may suggestions on where to look for a job?
