Talk about a bad time to look for a job. The international financial institutions where I’m most likely to find employment are freezing hires until the markets improve and on top of that Japan’s unemployment rate is rising.

Tod swears this doesn’t affect me, and maybe he’s right. I’m pretty much a fringe employee anyway. But if a company has to make a choice between a native Japanese and me, I think they’d select the native. Then the unemployment rate decreases by one.

I’m awfully glad I am not responsible for paying the rent. Posted by kuri at May 31, 2001 07:47 AM
