Only 4 Days Until The 2011 Job Fair for International Students

Hey international students and other stumblers.

Happy New Year!

I hope you enjoyed your winter vacation. I realize most of you were probably really busy with part time jobs and other job hunting activities, but I hope you were able to spend time with friends and family.

I was fortunate enough to do the former. I also had an opportunity to witness Osaka's transformation into a somnolent ghost town as many of its residents fled back to their inaka for some quiet family time.

Things have hence returned to normal and in the spirit of the entrepreneur Ebisu,  I wanted to post a reminder that the 2011 Job Fair for International Students is just around the corner, this Saturday, January 15.

Presently, 938 students have already signed-up for the job fair, putting us about 60 short of our 1000 goal.
Nevertheless, it's quite impressive and just goes to show many active and serious international students there are. We've received applications from all over Japan as well as from students from the US and Australia.

If you are a student in Kansai or have the means to travel to Osaka and have yet to sign-up, make sure to sign-up for free at our website: http://www.grs-project.jp/
You can still come without signing-up in advance, but signing-up in advance is highly recommended (failure to do so will require that you spend quite a significant portion of time on the day of the event filling out entry forms by hand...).

Of the 60 companies participating, some of them are only offering positions to international students they meet at our job fair.

This is a great opportunity to meet with several Japanese companies that are seriously invested in hiring international students. Don't let it pass you by.

See you Saturday!
