Happy New Year. I had been working during the national holidays from 2010 to 2011... As you know, a hotel doesn't stop its work. So I worked for them. um...  Not for them. For serving our guests! It was snowy and stormy between the end of 2010 and the start of 2011. Many guests lost their destination because of these weather conditions. There were so many changes on schedules and we helped

I started a new job at a new position! I certainly became a Night Manager of my hotel. I can't believe it yet, though... There are too much things to do for a Night Manager. We have 286 rooms as a total. Most of rooms are single room for business users. However, we also have double and twin. There are 33 double rooms, and 44 twin rooms. Twin rooms can be used as triple room if only set an extra

I completely forgot the Western Holidays, because I have been in office during these holidays. It is natural that I work on holidays because I am an hotelier. Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I'll be a Night Manager tomorrow night, December 26th, 2010. It will be my first day as a Night Manager for me since I became an hotelier. Night Manager has a lot of important role

6 months have past since I have been the hotelier in Fukuoka, Japan. Although I have been a part time worker, I have been entrusted with a position of Assistant Night Manager. This position is the hardest position physically. My daily work starts at 17:00 and finish at 11:00 of the next day. However, I have never been released at 11:00. Because of many works, I usually finish my work around 14:

Almost 4 months have past since I became a part time worker at a small hotel in Fukuoka as a Front Clerk, a hotelier. I had passed the face to face interview with a supervisor of the front office on March, and I have been hired as a part time front clerk. Between the first 2 weeks, I had participated in the basic skill training, which had included house keeping, confirming reservations, and

I've been just waiting a feedback from the company which I went to take the exam/video conference on Wednesday March 17th. I've not been able to sleep well, because it takes quite a long time to make their decision whether hiring me or not. When I had the phone interview with their Asia-Pacific HR specialist and took the vocational aptitude test on the internet, I got the feedback from them next

As I wrote before, I retired from the life insurance company by the end of February. And now, I'm seeking a new position. I have already applied more than 20 companies and completely been rejected from them. However, there is a hope for only one company. I got a private offer from a recruiting agent for this company at the beginning of March. And I passed the 1st resume screening stage and the

Well, it was the last day to go to the office. As you know, I really had been wondering whether I should stay or leave the office; I should say that I should stay or leave the major life insurance company. And finally, at the end of January, I decided to leave, and claim my boss to quit my job by the end of February. As soon as I claimed my decision to my boss, I was taken my laptop PC, all

Hi everyone!Long time, no see.I hope that you all have been doing well.In the sudden, I decided to re-open this blog.The reason is clear.Since I became a member of ALICO Japan as a consultant in Fukuoka, I perfectly lost chances to use English in my daily life. It will be a big help for me to write something in English to keep my language level.I've been busy with my job, so the frequency of my

I'll go back to Fukuoka, my hometown, next Sunday. I should say that I'll move to Fukuoka.Since I got an official offer from an international life insurance company as a life plan adviser, a sales person, I have been thinking whether I should stay in Tokyo for seeking new job or I should make a decision to work in the life insurance industry and go back to hometown, Fukuoka. Finally, I decided to

I was rejected by the international life insurance company at the 2nd examination.I don't know the detail reason of this rejection, but I think that I had lack some skills for their needs.By the way, I had been in Fukuoka from May 7 to 10 in order to participate in a job introducing program of the brother company of which I was rejected. This company is the most famous life insurance company in

I got results from two life insurance companies which I had written before.I passed both of them.The results were passed 1st interview of the domestic insurance company and passed resume screening of the international company.I had been thinking that I would like to have priority over the international company because they opened actual date of the next step in the explanatory meeting.

I went to a first interview and an explanatory meeting.Both of them were held by life insurance companies; one was a domestic life insurance company, and the other one was an international company.I was scouted from the domestic company by the Internet: The company found my resume on the Internet and scouted me. The salary is not so high, but this company's job offer was hiring manager of brach

I passed 2 resume screenings.They are Life Insurance companies, one is an international company and the other one is a domestic company.Those positions are Sales Manager Candidate and Manager of Branch Office Candidate.I tried to apply to the life insurance industry because their sales style were similar to the style of Medical Representative (MR), and I thought that I would be able to do well.

Did you watch the final game of World Baseball Classic?I watched it on my mobile TV (one-seg), because I had a meeting with an agent. I could watch bottom of 9th, but I missed the most important scene because I had had to get on a train to move. When I turned on mobile TV, the game had already finished, and I could watch only the ceremony. However, I was really glad to know that Japan got

I've been spending dull days.I'm wondering whether my updated resume will work out or not.When I want to apply to a possible company, I have to submit my resume; if the company is a global one, I submit English resume, and if the company is a domestic one, I submit Japanese resume and "Rirekisho." I had been updating all of them for about one week. But I'm still wondering.When I submit resume, it

There are so many people who lost jobs not only in Japan, but also in all over the world. I'm the one of them...I really rely upon President Obama's leadership and his affirmative action on this world wide economical/financial crises.
