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.

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
