Via JETAA DC:
According to former JETAA DC Newsletter Coordinator Abby McBain, who is now the JET Liaison at the Consulate General of Japan in Miami, the JETAA Newsletter Coordinator position is still open.
She notes that it’s a particularly great opportunity for anyone looking for a way to use or improve their desktop publishing skills. [Ed. note: As the former JETAA NY Newsletter Editor, I can vouch for this.] Abby mentions that she had a lot of fun designing and putting together the Spring issue of The Sakura Times, and it was very helpful to be able to show a mock-up fo the issue when she interviewed for her current position at the Consulate. She said she was told after getting the job as JET coordinator that the interviewers were particularly impressed with the newsletter and it was definitely a factor in her being chosen.
Tsumari, serving as a newsletter editor is a great way to build a portfolio of your work and demonstrate your skills.
The returnee newsletter issue for JETAA DC needs to be compiled soon. It would be great if someone can step up to to take on the full reins and keep the newsletter going.
If interested, please contact Abby at ASAP.
