twenty-eight years and a million words
So far, so good. I've now interviewed with four firms and have been asked to come back for another interview by all four.
None of these leads involves a headhunter, I've noticed. It's all personal referrals. It's nice to find a receptive market again after so long in Tokyo with absolutely no interest in my skills, attitude, energy, and inability in the native language.
It's actually a situtation I don't see changing anytime soon in Japan. The numbers of non-Japanese speakers have plummeted to the point that there just aren't enough habitats where non-Japanese speakers can function. And so the cycle will continue, I think.
