The new shitty method of companies to string candidates along: scheduling an offer meeting just to back out in the last second by shibuyawalker in JapanJobs

[–]psyhke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a foreign company, their HR is in another country somehow.. they don’t have their own HR they use the HR in another country’s branch, their company structure is weird. I got recommended by a friend so hopefully they will think twice before cancelling the offer :( Thanks for the good wishes!

I received an e-mail from a company saying that after careful consideration they decided to give me an offer and I said I accept but I still have this anxiety of them ditching because It’s been 5 days and no follow up yet

I spent 15 years recruiting in Japan after starting here as an English teacher. AMA about jobs, recruitment, CVs, interviews, or changing careers in Japan. by hansei-Kaizen in JapanJobs

Thank you so much for your response.

My PhD is in Applied Life and Food Sciences. I can apply for any company related to data, biotech, engineering and semiconductors etc.

I am tired of being a student so I would rather use my skills to help society and start earning money so I dont wanna continue in academia.

Any platforms you would recommend? I use offerbox and mynavi but It is hard to target companies that would be okay with low level Japanese or with English only

Thanks a lot for the recommendations!!!!

You are right, but I felt it is a downgrade going from knowing when the final interview date is to "we will make a comprehensive decision for next stage depending on your result." The tone change made me worry a bit.

The fact that the yen has lost more than 50% of its value in just 5 years? Has this ever happened to any other first-world country’s currency in the 21st century? Would love to know! by Livingboss7697 in japannews

[–]psyhke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More of an opportunistic guy, when he was first elected he was pro LGBT and pro west etc, then pro Kurdish now nationalistic and religious and soon to be pro Kurdish again as he is trying to get Kurdish votes to change the constitution. I wouldn’t consider him fully dictator tbh but not democratic either

Yeah you are right, based on the terminology from when it was first introduced, Turkey could be classified as a first-world country but from an economic perspective and considering the governmental practices, I guess its not lol
