UPDATE 9/27/11: It turns out an MEF Group on LinkedIn was previously created by Thomas Schalow. To join, go to this link: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=3757582
I’m going to delete the group that I created and would like to encourage MEFs, BETs and other pre-JETs to join the version of the group set up by Thomas.
Yoroshiku!
***************************
Every now and then I hear from a Monbusho English Fellow (MEF) or other person who was part of a pre-JET program in Japan. I know there are plenty more MEFs out there, and you are very much JET alums from the perspective of the JET alumni community. So I thought it would make sense to create a LinkedIn group for MEFs and others who participated in programs. (I think there was also a British English Teachers program?)
one comment so far...
Hello-
An MEF has a Linkedin group. Thomas Schalow, a former MEF, already has a Linkedin site, however, also under ‘group,’ not ‘company.’
It would be best if it were listed as “MEF- Monbusho English Fellow” and as a ‘company’ not ‘group’ since we were employees.
I will contact Schalow via Linkedin and suggest he change it from group to company. I will then encourage other MEFs I am still in contact with to also link to it.
