I just got an email from a nice guy at JobCube: Japan Jobs (http://jobcube.com) letting me know about their site. They had seen JetWit.com and asked if we could include a link to their site, which I’ve done on the Job Site Links page in the “Finding Jobs in Japan” section.
JobCube is run in conjunction with their Japan News site (theblackship.com) featuring up-to-date news on Japan as well as an active forum and classifieds service. (See the RSS feed for theblackship.com in the JetWit sidebar.)
JobCube/TheBlackShip is kindly going to post a link to JetWit.com on their site in exchange. Though regardless, JetWit is always happy to post information that’s helpful for JET alumni when it comes to finding jobs. :-)
Meanwhile, if anyone uses JobCube and gets a job or has any feedback, please feel free to share your experience or comments via an e-mail to jetwit /atto/ jetwit /dotto/ com.

The Australian Ministry of Tourism is willing to pay someone $100,000 to spend 6 months relaxing and enjoying some island in the Pacific and blogging about it.
Here’s the article from the NYTimes/Associated Press: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/15/world/asia/15australia.html?emc=eta1
Here’s the job listing website: http://islandreefjob.com/ For those interested, deadline is Feb. 22 and requires submission of a 60-second video among other things.
It sounds too good to be true, so my guess is that the $100G pays for itself via the publicity this generates for the island as a tourist destination.
If any JET alums out there apply for it, let me know or post a comment so we can hear about the process (and perhaps eventually the job itself!)

Jobs in China?
Advice, Career, Japan Trends, Jobs Comments Off on Jobs in China?
I recently returned from a trip to China, and it occurred to me that China felt in many ways like Japan felt to me when I was there in the early 90s: Modernized, but also somewhat untamed and pregnant with opportunity. A good amount of structure, but also a sense that it’s not all figured out yet either.
With that in mind, I was wondering if some segment of the JET alumni community is now turning to China for job opportunities? If so, let me know or post a comment below on your thoughts or experience.
Meanwhile, I noticed a China jobs site called China Splash (http://www.chinasplash.com/index.html). I’m sure there are others, but figured I’d at least share the one I’m aware of.
