APU (www.apu.ac.jp) is currently recruiting native English speakers as translators/ interpreters, who can start this Fall (ie. asap). They are hiring for the following types of positions:
1. Technical/Administrative translator/interpreter – Most likely working in the Administration Office and translating University Regulations and contracts, etc. This position is for those with strong translation ability,
who are able to compose technical documents & business letters, etc.
2. Student Advising – Provide advice to students in both English and Japanese. Counseling students regarding topics which range from student credits, Thesis screening, and graduation assessments to dealing with life in Japan, Student Clubs, etc.
3. Alumni Association -I think this is a new position, but I am guessing that you are recruiting APU alumni to join the association… and other various networking duties using English and Japanese.
If interested please contact Emiko (former Fukuoka CIR, now working under position 2 above) at eoo61761@apu.ac.jp or 080-6431-9683.
Benefit-wise, the position pays the same as JET, but with a bonus, so in the end the yearly income is a bit more. I think you’ll get moving expenses paid, 21 days nenkyu and summer/winter holiday, health insurance, pension… basically it’s the same as JET, but the pay is slightly better. Working hours are 9-5:30.
Applications are here:

Please don’t hesitate to contact Emiko if you need any help or have any concerns. The Administration Office is notorious for poor service when it comes to HR, so she’ll do what she can to help move things along.
