  1. I applied for an English teaching job with Borderlink as I want to teach English in a foreign country, and Japan is number one on my list. However, I’ve read a lot of negative things about Borderlink saying their pay is garbage and they’re quite shitty.

     

    Anyone have any advice for me? I really wanna teach English in Japan so I can get both experience teaching whilst getting to live somewhere I’ve always wanted to, and to also hopefully learn Japanese in the process 


  2. I’ve applied for two teaching assistant jobs, one is in China and the other is in Japan. 

     

    I’m so excited about the prospect of getting to live and appreciate places I’ve wanted to go, but I’m also terrified of the idea of uprooting my entire life, leaving my friends and family in the UK. I’m not saying I don’t want to do it by all means, it’s just scary you know?

     

    And I know that my friends here in the UK support me, and that we’d still remain friends even if I’m on the other side of the world. It’s just sad in a sense...


  3. After listening to Ki Do Ai Raku I must say I think it's a solid release from them! I hope I can get my own copy one day, maybe if I see it being sold I'll splash out on a copy. 

     

    I loved the fusion of different musical elements that they used, from the tracks that used electronic aspects to the one that had a calmer, less metal feel to it (sorry I can't reference song titles here) I loved all of it! And Sho's vocals are incredible on this, I do hope that he can keep his voice in good condition and that he is taking care of it!

     

    As for Vanitas white and Aizounitsuki black... Well, part of me thought it was okay, it's sort of like them poetry reading things some artists do, but at the same time hearing Sho lowkey having what sounded like a breakdown of some sort in my ear was a bit weird. But yeah, great release nevertheless!

    What job was it? I think if it's a retail job, they often say they want someone "outgoing and extroverted" because they're usually seen as better at talking to customers. I'm not sure if you're outgoing/extroverted but if not, you might have better luck looking for something that doesn't require you to talk too much; not because I think introverts are objectively incompetent at that kind of thing but because the employer would be less likely to care about it. Otherwise, I'm not too sure why they'd reject you because that seems to be the only personality trait a lot of places really care about 😕

     

    Anyways, I agree with you wholeheartedly. The problem with education/employment is that they only really care how good you are at a specific time with no regard to your intelligence/personality in any other aspect because nerves totally aren't a thing, no siree. *hugs*

    It was a job for video editor and graphic designer for a business networking company, so it’s heavily compatible with what I did at university (Broadcast Journalism). It just pisses me off that they said I had the skills for the job, so their problem wasn’t with my abilities, it was with me as a person. Thing is is I’m not exactly a shy person, I’m comfortable around new people.

     

    But, I’ve applied for a million and one more jobs in PR, Marketing, Social media...basically anything that I can apply my skills learnt from my degree


  5. So the job I was interviewed for rejected me. They said I had all the skills they were looking for but I didn’t have the personality they wanted?? 

     

    It could just be me, but that seems like a crappy reason. You don’t get to know someone or their personality in half an hour 


  6. I’ve started looking for a new job now that I’ve had a bit of a break after graduating. The careers advisor working at the university I graduated from is super helpful, he fine tuned my CV and made it look really neat! 

     

    Hopefully with his assistance I can get out of working nights and working retail soon! 


  7. I think I’ve had a run in with the creepy Ruki fan you’re talking about, she called a girl in one of the MV’s back in 2004 (can’t recall the song title) a “dirty American slut because she had her hands on her “husband” 🙄 Everyone called her out for being a dickhead though and she was VERY defensive about it 


  8. @Duwang do you remember the setlist they played at O-West at all? I’m hoping some video footage surfaces, im assuming the band doesn’t/didn’t have the funding to record it for a DVD release?
