Volunteer: JETwit seeks help tracking JET disaster relief efforts
Earthquake Tsunami, Jobs, Notable JET Alums, Volunteer Comments Off on Volunteer: JETwit seeks help tracking JET disaster relief efforts
I know there a slew of JETs and alums involved in a variety of volunteer efforts in Japan right now. And I don’t have time to capture and post on JETwit about it.
For example:
- A JET named Paul Yoo in Akita helped organize something called The Fruit Tree Project to bring fresh fruit to affected areas and posted information about that and other volunteer efforts on a website I believe he set up called volunteerAKITA.
- Mike Maher-King (Fukui) of Smile Kids Japan has been doing all kinds of things with orphanages and delivery of supplies and connecting people and groups who are trying to help in various ways.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. These are just two examples I happen to be aware of.
Would someone out there be interested in doing occasional posts on JETwit that simply list recent efforts, activities and updates along with links to the source of the information? Sort of a JET Volunteer Round-up?
Familiarity using WordPress preferred but not absolutely necessary.

Japan Trends, Jobs Comments Off on Jobs: LinkedIn Japan – Product Manager, Design, Engineering and more
Thanks to former JETwit job poster Machiko Yasuda for sharing this interesting listing of jobs which she saw posted on Joi Ito’s blog:
As many of you know, I’ve been working closely with Reid Hoffman for years now and one of the things that I’ve been working with Reid on from the beginning was thinking about LinkedIn, especially in the context of Japan.
As LinkedIn begins its global expansion, Japan is an important priority and recently I’ve been advising LinkedIn on a more formal basis.
Japan REALLY needs LinkedIn right now. LinkedIn is NOT a social network; it is a professional network. It is a network that allows people to build their professional identity, share business expertise and information, and advance your professional knowledge about subjects important to you. As privacy issues exceedingly become a concern, it’s very important to keep your casual, gaming and social networks separated from your professional network. I think LinkedIn will be an essential tool for professionals in Japan as it is in the rest of the world.
So, this is my last “real job” before I transition over completely to the Media Lab role: helping to launch LinkedIn in Japan. And we’re looking for the best talent out there. We need an awesome, dedicated team to run LinkedIn in Japan. This team will be responsible for the strategy, product roadmap, and growth in Japan – this the chance to be highly entrepreneurial while having the strength of a global brand behind your team.
We’re Hiring!
We’re looking for a variety of roles, and they are listed below. We are particularly looking for product and management leaders who want to take on this chance to manage user growth. LinkedIn is serious about Japan and this team would be working directly with a high-quality senior team in the US. I think it’s a great career opportunity.
If you think you are a fit for for any of the roles we list below (or know someone who is), please apply for the role through the link below or email CPorter@linkedin.com. Please include your resume and/or a link to your LinkedIn profile.
These roles are currently posted regarding our growth in Japan:
We are also interested in general management and product marketing candidates.
I’ll be blogging more about LinkedIn in Japan as we get closer to launching the Japanese product, but I wanted to get the word out that LinkedIn is planning to come to Japan in 2011, and we’re hiring. Help me put together the dream team.

Opportunity with Cosmo PR in Tokyo
Cosmo PR is looking to hire foreign employees, and it seems that they have had success in hiring former JETs in the past. Cosmo PR is a PR company specializing in healthcare and food/food science. It is a little different to most Japanese companies in that everyone is bilingual and the CEO is a woman. It is an interesting place to work and to progress one’s career. They are looking for someone who may be slightly junior, but who has a familiarity with the Japanese language and Japanese working culture. The most important things are that they are amiable and outgoing and have excellent written English.
