Lake Washington Technical College (www.lwtc.edu) has openings for freelance recruiters.
I’m working at a state college & we’re looking for Japanese students interested in study abroad in academic & technical programs. The school gives 15% of 1st year’s tuition (~$900) per student as kick back to any agent (foreign or domestic) who recruits Japanese students for study abroad.
LWTC, as the most affordable state college in the region, has over 100 different certificate & degree program & issues I20s for student visa sponsorship. All students need is an official bank statement reflecting at least 16K in balance for INS to issue their F1 visa.
Here is the website for all kinds of info www.lwtc.edu including how to apply & here is a Japanese one www.lwtc.edu/international
Happy student hunting.

Tadaima! #3 – Knocking on doors
Career, Jobs, Uncategorized, Writers Comments Off on Tadaima! #3 – Knocking on doors
My name is Rick Ambrosio (Ibaraki-ken, 2006-08). And whether readjusting to post-JET life is something you’re facing now, will deal with in the future or if you just enjoy reconnecting with that awkwardly uncertain feeling you had when you got back from Japan, come along with me as I look for a new job, a new apartment, and yes, mow the lawn of my parent’s house. Tadaima!
I scored my lucky seat on the train. You see, on the LIRR, there is always a fold down seat right near the doors between cars. Granted it wasn’t rush hour or anything, I just always love getting that seat.
I sat carefully in a futile attempt to not wrinkle the pants of my navy suit. I also liked my orange tie that I picked up in the Harajuku Zara back in Japan. I needed to dress to impress, because it was offense time. Read More
JetWit Success Story #2
Blogs, Career, JETAA Chapter Beat, Jobs, Networking, Writers Comments Off on JetWit Success Story #2
Omedetou to freelance writer/editor Jonathan Trace (Fukuoka-ken, 2005-08) who just got an internship with a publishing company thanks to his work with JetWit as the JETAA Chapter Beat guy!
He found out about it through Julie Matysik (who herself got an internship at the same publishing company after a JET alum who works there saw her first two Editorial Pursuits posts on JetWit), who found out about the latest internship opportunity and passed it on to Jonathan because she knew through JetWit that he was looking for similar opportunities.
This is one of the strengths of the JET alumni network. There are lots more connections and opportunities out there, even in this tough economy. We just have to dig a little and sometimes be creative to find them.
Note: The internships are unpaid, albeit good places to start, which means Julie and Jonathan are both still in the market for paying jobs if anyone wants to hire them. (The JET alumni network is strong, but it’s not all-powerful. Not yet anyway. :-)
In response to the previous post about “going back to Japan,” I received a nice email from a JET alum with a bunch of sites that are good for finding jobs in Japan. I’ve also posted them on the Professional Profiles/Job Resources page.
