And you thought that my job hunting journey was over. NOPE. Until April next year, you can expect me to blog about preparing for my job – and this is one aspect of it. The 内定式 (naiteishiki) may or may not be a uniquely Japanese thing. I can’t really find an English translation (hence me thinking… Read More 内定式
This is going to be so embarrassing, and I’m not even sure how I’m going to say this (stood in the train staring at the phone for a long long time before starting to type this) so… Um Ummm UMMMMM *takes deep breath*I’m not going to that company that I was so excited about. Considering… Read More Big Announcement (re: Job)
Alright, time for the shukatsu guide I promised! Thank you Turkka Hynynen and Whitney Yee for your comments, which helped shaped this post. This is definitely not a complete shukatsu guide, so if I missed out anything, just ask and I may end up writing a second part (although I’ll definitely answer you first). For the record, I wrote… Read More How to Get a Job in Japan (Q&A format)

I really, really should be posting the last of the sakura pictures of the year (all the sakura around here have fallen), but… I’ve got something else! Ok, first up, shukatsu updates. If you remember, I went for the Huis ten Bosch interview exactly a week ago. And guess what? I passed! Somehow. This means… Read More Shukatsu Updates + Blockchain Economics Research Lab
Yesterday, I went to Huis ten Bosch for my first job interview. They actually have the interview at Huis ten Bosch and at Fukuoka, but due to scheduling constraints, buying a ticket to go all the way there turned out to be the more convenient action. Since I like Huis ten Bosch, I wasn’t going… Read More Huis ten Bosch Group Interview and Tulip/Easter Decorations
Since I’ve been blogging a little about job hunting in Japan recently, I thought I should make a guide on job hunting in Japan. By the way, because I’m writing this in the start of April, and that means that I’ve only just started the process. Most of the information comes from what I’ve heard,… Read More A Primer on Job Hunting (就職活動) in Japan
Hey everyone! I haven’t had anything exciting happen recently, but I thought I’d just give you a general update, to sort of prove I’m alive. It’s technically my holidays now, and I did plan to go to Kokura for a one day trip, but due to financial constraints and time constraints, I haven’t had the… Read More General Updates (aka Shukatsu Updates)
Today, I went back to Ito campus after a long, long time. There was a shukatsu seminar for foreign students, and a job fair for foreign students held today, and it’s a chance I couldn’t pass up. The seminar was actually really useful, so I figured that I’d report what I learnt, for everyone else… Read More Shukatsu Seminar and Fair

I had my first non-Aso internship, and then I had an exam. So, recaps! Internship Experience My internship took place… Read More More updates! Internship Experience + Accounting Exam (Again)
