WIT Life #23: Oyaji Bentos
Graduate School, Japan Trends, Jobs, WIT Life Comments Off on WIT Life #23: Oyaji Bentos
WITLife is a periodic series written by professional Interpreter/Translator/Writer Stacy Smith (Kumamoto-ken, 2000-03). Recently she’s been watching Fujisankei’s newscast in Japanese and sharing some of the interesting tidbits and trends together with her own observations.
One segment of today’s news went into a lunchroom where a group of men sat around with their bentos. The announcer assumed that they had been made for them by their beloved wives (愛妻弁当), but it turned out the men had made them themselves. They profiled several of these groundbreaking pioneers, all in their 30s. 
One bachelor had been cooking for himself the past year, explaining that each morning he simply put together leftovers from the night before to make his lunch. However, he confessed that he would like to “find someone who could do this for me.” Another single bento-maker revealed his secret to be Read More

FYI, Marc used to be a project manager for Transperfect. And now he works for Translations.com which is a division of Transperfect. And it’s also worth mentioning that their offices are in the same building as the new CLAIR-NY/Japan Local Government Center offices.

Japanese Jobs in the U.S.
Career, Jobs, Translating/Interpreting Comments Off on Japanese Jobs in the U.S.
I just stumbled upon a website called Top Language Jobs that has a section just for Japanese language jobs in the U.S. They seem to have a number of postings from Bloomberg among other places, so a little different than the normal offerings that I’ve found so far. (They also have a section for jobs in Japan, but it said there are currently no listings.) In addition to listing the link below, I’ve also listed it in the Useful Jobs Site Links page of the Professional Profiles/Job Resources section of JetWit as well.
They also have an RSS feed for the category, so I’ve set up a widget over on the sidebar on the right that shows the most recent job listings from the feed.
Feel free to take a look and share any comments on the usefulness of this site. I know virtually nothing about the company that’s running this site other than that they seem to cover a very wide range of languages and countries.
