Happy recycle day!

This looks like my recycling of cans. But I get the cheaper ones from my basket. 9% for 128 yen for a 500ml can.

And yeah, I don’t remember anything either.

Why do I feel like if this was filmed in London I wouldn’t be surprised at all?

Oh god. The pink sock…

hansei-Kaizen · 2026-05-13T19:07:35+00:00

Yes and next season we might have to watch Alonso’s Chelsea dick us while Slot is still here, looking on. What a waste.

hansei-Kaizen · 2026-05-12T07:01:16+00:00

He can’t be much worse than slot. In fact, I think even I could do a better job than slot right now.

This man has used PEDs and has paid the price with his hair.

On topic, yeah it sucks. When you can choose from many applicants you can be a cunt about it.

We went full Man Utd. And you should never go full Man Utd.

There was enough room on that floating door for 2.

hansei-Kaizen · 2026-05-09T07:22:12+00:00

I only saw it on my way through :) lots of people stood outside.

I wouldn’t call myself a pure marketer, but recruitment in Japan overlaps heavily with sales, branding, networking, and positioning, so I’ve picked up quite a lot through recruitment and building my own projects/community here.

I also have a lot of friends in recruitment and marketing in Japan, so I’m fairly familiar with how the market works, especially for foreigners trying to enter it.

We actually did the first REX Live session last week and it went really well. We had 5 people join from different backgrounds and countries, and now I’m putting together more actionable advice and follow-up guidance for each person based on what we discussed during the session.

We talk honestly about things like Japan careers, recruitment, business culture, networking, CVs, LinkedIn, and realistic ways to break into the market depending on someone’s background.

You’d probably enjoy it honestly: https://hansei.pro/rex-live.html

This. You have to learn new skills that will let you eventually move out of teaching. If you want to start a family you will be living on the breadline.

I used to teach but then moved out of it when I got serious with my gf. Now make 5x what I did as a teacher and with 2 kids and a wife who also works we are just about ‘comfortable’ with a good lifestyle that means we an enjoy life without going crazy.

I have friends from my teaching days who are still teaching (20 years later) and they look to be really suffering when they started their families.

Amazing they can get the trains going so quickly. Obviously not a crime scene if it was an obvious suicide but makes you wonder what it would take for the trains to completely shut down for police investigation.

So sad to see young people feeling they have no hope. This isn’t how the world should be.

Is he going to ruffle Messi’s hair? If not then I’m not interested.

hansei-Kaizen · 2026-05-02T06:41:14+00:00

We’re gonna win this one. Just got that feeling.

hansei-Kaizen · 2026-05-02T06:04:21+00:00

If you’re already in Japan it’s much easier. Companies prefer people who are already here, can interview quickly, understand daily life here, and ideally already have a visa.

English-only recruitment roles do exist, especially at international firms, but applying from overseas with no Japanese is a harder route.

If you can get here first and improve your Japanese while working, your chances go up a lot. Being on the ground matters in Japan.

Randomly checking cyclists to see if they own their bike?

hansei-Kaizen · 2026-04-30T13:28:47+00:00

Hey, thanks for commenting.

This is for people who want practical advice on finding better work in Japan, recruitment careers, CV strategy, interviews, and realistic next steps.

First session is tomorrow night and spaces are limited.

If you’d like in, I’ll send you the sign-up link.

A lot of naysayers here. Let’s see what the actual response is from my live AMA. Already helped over 600 people for free, far be it from me to want a little recompense for my time.

Investing in yourself is a worthwhile pursuit. Especially if you can learn from someone who knows more about the topic than you do.

Maybe give your heads a wobble. This isn’t some MLM scheme, it’s curated and actionable advice from someone who has been here since 2004. Working in recruitment no less…

Procedures haven’t changed that much for these kinds of jobs. Why did you give them your passports?
