Experienced writers preferred; translators and technical writers welcome. This is a great opportunity if you are studying Japanese and want some real Japanese business experience. You'll get to practice speaking, listening, and reading Japanese in a relaxed environment, while doing your actual work in English. You'll also get to go on-site and meet with clients, who include some of the most famous names in electronics manufacturing. Bonus for tech lovers, you get to play with pre-release products!! Requirements: • Must currently reside in Japan. (Firm on this one. Sorry, overseas folks!) • Native English speaker or have close to "perfect" English speaking ability. • Conversational Japanese ability. • Proficiency with MS Office applications, including PowerPoint. Additional notes: • Full-time from sometime around August. • 3-month introductory period, followed by 'seishain' status (permanent, not a yearly contract). • Visa sponsorship is available. • Application deadline is 7/4/2008. I'm not the final decision maker, but I will be selecting the candidates. Feel free to ask me any questions! Send resumes, questions, writing samples to tokyowritinggig@gmail.com (not my MeFi mail, please). tag:jobs.metafilter.com,2008:site.458 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:04:44 -0800 japan writing copywriting technical electronics QueSeraSera http://jobs.metafilter.com/mefi/56 First off, I'm not the hiring manager for this job. I would be one of your coworkers. After seeing the job opening posts on other job sites, I believe the company is asking for the wrong things. I've worked this position for a few years now, and I'm taking it upon myself to see if any MeFites have any experience in the following areas, because this skillset is kind of a pain to come by. And I get a lovely referral fee if you get hired. We are in need of engineering dilettants. If you know what an NTSC waveform looks like, know what I mean when I say "neg 3 dB," have any clue about networks (specifically UDP and multicast), don't mind working with high power RF transmitters at times, have ever heard of DVB-S transmission/encryption and MPEG-2 compression, ever taken a soldering gun to a monitor, and can pull a cable, you're my new best friend. I could go on. There are a thousand other small nerdy tasks in this job that might just scratch you where you itch. Save the resumes for later; experience isn't what I'm looking for. Email me, and we'll talk. tag:jobs.metafilter.com,2008:site.56 Wed, 20 Sep 2006 07:34:29 -0800 RF audio video networking DVB MPEG-2 electronics quite unimportant
