Hopefully this summer, basically June I'll be free I think so what I'll do is maybe start applications as soon as I'm done with my dissertation.

Yeah I know what you mean, going through a company means you can fallback on them for sorting out official things with the govt and stuff you just don't want to handle alone.

I think with Japan it's competitive but I'm banking on my language skill and personality to get me on board. Basically I haven't found much success with jobs atm and I just want a change of scenery.

(I will totally keep you in mind once I'm over there haha)
