Hello all job seekers and fellow JET alumni,

My name is Alex Queen, a former JET from Aomori Prefecture (2008-2012).
I currently work for Keio University, coordinating its English translation project and working on English-language PR, and I am excited to share this job opportunity with fellow JET alumni.

As these are clerical and administrative duties, this is not purely a translation job. However, I would recommend the position as a great opportunity for anyone wishing to begin a career in translation. Read More
