An Editing Job, and a Response (gasp)
Also applied for an Editing job - for student applications to English speaking Universities. Seems right up my alley:
Ivy League Consulting
***Company introduction
Study Abroad Application Support helps Japanese with every step of the process of applying to foreign graduate schools.
***Type of work
Virtually all of the work would consist of editing foreign students’ graduate school application documents, such as application essays, letters of recommendation (with the explicit permission of the Japanese recommender who cannot write it for language reasons), and resumes for English grammar and usage, writing style, content, etc.
If offered an editing job, you would come to our office in Tokyo for about 2 weeks of paid on the job training, but after that most or all of the editing work could be done at your home.
***Hours
One of the most attractive parts of the job for current and previous staff has been the flexibility. There are no fixed hours and, after the initial paid on the job training period, no office to go to. Within a firm deadline set 1-2 days after you receive a job (most of which take 2-5 hrs to complete), you can set your own schedule to complete the work. Within this flexible work schedule, editors are expected to commit at least 8 hours a week to the job.
***Requirements
1) Excellent writing and editing skills.
2) Able to meet deadlines
3) The ability to pay attention to details (like formatting, the spelling of people’s names, and other issues that raise a document from a well-written one to a highly polished one that you yourself would be proud to submit).
***How to apply
Here are the steps in the hiring process:
1) Submit your resume through GaijinPot
2) You will be invited to take a written interview consisting of editing several short passages
3) Applicants with strong written interviews will be invited to begin work
It seems that they would want people who are already living there, though. If they don't offer Visa Sponsorship, then that's the end of that.
There's this other really interesting sounding school - an English and Dance school! - that I'm considering applying to. They need a driver's permit though, and I still haven't sent my application in to AAA to get mine. That's something I can do today. It's probably a good thing to have if any other employers ask.
Oh, and I heard back from Kensington already - in an automated email. Unless their principal is an insomniac. I replied - let's see what happens!
