I applied for a job in Japan.
I didn't want to tell anyone because I figured most people wouldn't want me to go. You know, friends, family. I was superstitious about having negative energy directed towards the prospect.
It turns out that, as usual, I don't have enough experience. This time, it's a matter of not having enough experience living in Japan.
I was told that my cover letter was one of the better ones received in a long time, and that if I moved to Japan and stayed there for awhile I could reapply. They don't want someone who will bail on them. I can understand that.
I worked hard in my cover letter to convey that living in Japan was what I wanted, but I guess that wasn't enough.
If they could see my tears now, do you think they would reconsider?

Sorry to hear that, Heather-chan... *big hug* Don't give up. The ladder to success are peppered with failures.

Thanks, Dawn. *hug*
Sweet Pea, I'm sorry....:(
Think of it this way, though: That company was impressed with your presentation of yourself. Across how ever many thousands of miles, and various cultural differences, they thought you were brilliant!
At the risk of sounding really shallow, I saw "Lost in Translation" Sunday night, and while I'm not saying the MOVIE made me think this, the movie made ME THINK, and yeah, I can see how more experience living in a totally different culture would make them feel more comfortable. However, they just don't know that my Hea Hea is a Japanese girl trapped in a lil Kentucky girl's body... ;) Heheheh..
Cheer up, Buttercup. Things happen for reasons.
Damnit, that was me above, Hea Hea, but you probably figured that out, already...
