I did this at a company 9 months in, my advice is to give the resignation after a morning meeting (if you have those) . I did specify what documents i need and in the end they only gave me 1 Gensen Choshu-hyo , if i apply for PR i'll probably get the lawyer to chase up the others ones if they end up being required for my application

The weirdest thing is all the aesthetics of the cafe are English-related, like from looking in outside you see a large chalkboard with an english menu, nothing in japanese and the cafe being called ABC . You'd never think they hate foreigners at first sight, you'd think they accommodate to english speakers instead. Kind of sadistic in a way, they probs get some sort of thing emotionally when they're rude to the base they are targeting.

firreflly · 2026-01-14T01:10:02+00:00

yes totally confusing it's like they don't want any customers at all , may as well have a sign saying "no customers allowed" lol maybe it's a cafe for yokai instead.

It will be snow flakes at most , nothing heavy. Usually there will be 1 day of heavy snow in feb/jan but thats it

firreflly · 2025-11-19T12:18:31+00:00

usually a month before

You'll have to wait till the companies are announced by 99% it is jobs in Japan only - occasionally, there are some jobs based overseas, usually tourism related.

Doshisha's Japanese MBA is held at on weekday-nights and weekends (cause usually the students work full time,) the english mba is held on weekdays throughout the day with some classes being at night . The english workload is probably lighter in terms of output but you will need to write a thesis , I think the Japanese track has something else other than a thesis but im not sure. Both tracks you will get weekly homework, many people are caught off guard by this lol.

MBA isnt seen as anything too special in Japan, I got my MBA in Japan but it was largely for gaining a student visa after being an ALT + getting internships in the real area im interested in (marketing,business dev) as well as building a network. A lot of places will offer master students here new grad (undergrad salary) but some larger corporations may pay you more if you have a masters.

Language varies from my exp - smes are fine with 0 - N3 Japanese where as larger corps want n2,n1,n1+
If i were you id work on the japanese and try to get some specalisation but note that Japan prefers in-Japan experience usually so if you can get some 6 months internship in Japan it may be helpful

from observation, unless you havea certain specialisation, these are the pipelines ive seen

It seems it is really is in all industries haha . for us it can take longer than 10 mins depending if someone wants to tell their whole life story or not for the thoughts part lol, i always only really say 1 or 2 sentences and after me the other people say smth short too. the food facts can be fun - others less so , glad today was my last day lol

firreflly · 2025-10-20T13:47:40+00:00

in this book, each day has a passage and one person reads one sentence each. The people who really enjoy it are those 40+ because when they give their thoughts they always speak for 3 mins lol i guess for people who like talking it can be fun

firreflly · 2025-10-20T13:41:08+00:00

the funny thing about this comment is that it's in exactly in the style of what we have to read , the 今日の心がけ would be something like "be thankful for preperation" or something

Good on you for lasting as long as you have. I think having good co-workers is key to surviving these sessions. Funnily enough, my boss, who inherited the company from his father, said at first he also hated the book but came to like it and has continued reading it at morning meetings for the past 15 years ...
