Marc Carroll (Gifu-ken, 2001-03) emailed to remind me to include his company, Transperfect, following a recent post about translation agencies. I’d already listed Transperfect (though not translations.com) on the Translation Agencies page, but I thought it was worth listing them in a post as well.
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.

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!)
