This company certainly needs no introduction – Nintendo (任天堂) of America– is looking to hire a technical writer, production assistant and an executive assistant (Click here for job openings: https://nintendo.taleo.net/careersection/10000/jobdetail.ftl).
The masterminds behind MarioTM and the WiiTM need strong bilingual writers and assistants to work in their American headquarters in Redmond, WA – half an hour away from Seattle. The technical writer position is on a contract basis, while the two assistant positions are full-time.
Although the requirements vary for all three positions, your Japanese and English communication skills (“including jargon, slang, and idioms,” they emphasize) will come in handy here, along with any and all gaming experience (Pokémon® or 花札 anyone?).
To see all open positions at Nintendo of America, click here. Note that all applications must be submitted through their website, and some of the positions require a brief personal statement in both Japanese and English, along with a resume.

The festival is broken up into different committees led by a Committee Chair. We have several Committees that still have Sub-chair positions that need to be filled. Sub-chairs work under the Committee Chair to facilitate any help they need before or during the festival.
If you have experience in event planning or like taking managerial roles, please contact Marc Hitzig (mhitzig [at] us-japan. org) or Ms. Nobu Iwata (iwata [at] us-japan. org) at JASW for more information.
If you are interested in volunteering and getting involved but cannot commit the time to become a sub-chair, we still need many people to help us on the day of the festival! We will start recruiting for “Day-of volunteers” in December.
