Hi, I used to live in Japan, but my Japanese is not good enough to work in a company there. I really want to go back, but my only option is teaching due to the language barrier.
I am aware that almost all ESL companies have the same negative reviews about pay and deducting expenses from your salary, but I came across one about Annie Global Education and didn't understand it about the abuse and American teachers. Does anyone have experience working with them?
The review was:
Hello, my journey of studying Japanese started in 2014. I went all the way to Japan to study for 6 months, then returned home. In 2016, I took refresher courses and got my N4. It has been a while since I studied Japanese from textbooks, and even though I watch a lot of Japanese dramas, I still couldn't improve my listening. Seeing other people learn Korean and Japanese just from watching dramas or anime made me feel that language isn't something I'm skilled at. But honestly, missing Japan and my love for the language didn't fade. I think I've forgotten a lot from my N4 days ... do you have a good strategy to follow for taking N3? I really want to have it on my resume. Right now I'm watching YouTube videos and using AI to help me understand the text as I study.
hi, No matter how I tweak my resume, the rejection always comes the next day. So... what exactly gets "reviewed" in 24 hours?
Every application I send out, doesn't matter how much I customize the resume, tailor keywords, rewrite the summary the rejection email lands within a day.
what is the ATS actually doing in that window? Rakuten get hundreds of applications per posting.
If you've actually gotten hired what did your process look like? Did you get instant rejections from Rakuten, Did tailoring the resume actually change anything, or was it more about referrals/networking getting you past the bot?
Trying to figure out if I'm wasting hours optimizing something an algorithm skims in half a second.
My plan was to write my impressions of every part separately, but when I finished the last part I was shocked. Was it all Honda's illusion?
Honda was always my favorite character. I felt he resembled me in the sense that he watched other people's experiences without truly living his own. However, I didn't like how Mishima turned him into a voyeur — watching women through a hole in his villa and lurking in the park. I also hated the pedophilic undertones: him watching Ying Chan, and Kiko, an older woman, sleeping with her. I liked Toru at the beginning, but I found his motives and inner evil unjustified and unconvincing.
I enjoyed two scenes in Spring Snow the most: Honda's conversation with the Thai princess at the beach, and his final scene with the temple lady — though I felt he was too young to speak so philosophically.
But the last volume made me wonder: was Honda even real? Was Kiyoaki's dream actually Honda's dream all along? Was the garden in the last scene Honda's grave?
Now I'm torn between two options for my next read: The Idiot or Buddenbrooks
Since Mishima was influenced by Thomas Mann, I'm a bit hesitant to jump straight into ... worried I might get a sense of déjà vu with themes or style after just finishing the tetralogy.
