I won't be unemployed anymore after November 1st!!!!
I was able to successfully pass the second interview, but will be working as a contract employee, which has it's pros and cons. The cons to it will be having to be reviewed by the company before renewing the contract, and the other one will be that retirement benefits won't be available (which is different from pension, in Japan's text book).
The pro's to it is that during the time I'm under contract and decide to leave for the states, I'm not obligated because I'm contract, therefore not an actual employee.
So, besided trying to get back into the swing of things (diving back into the rat-race), I'll be spending my last few days trying to study my Japanese to get into a routine. I seemed to discover the 'awakening' for studying Japanese when I would apply for a job, and ability level is still lower than that expected by employers; so if I fail this job due to the lack of Japanese, I might as well plan on a life of living as a guardman for a parking lot or something, cause no one will hire me without having a certain amount of ability to the language.
It's kinda like someone having to be really hungry for something before they actually strive to achieve their goal. For example, those who took life for granted (my dad was once that), until a heart attack or something had changed their view of life, and they strived for peace and putting value to the rest of their lives (like we here, always try to do!). I had to get over the "boredom" of studying to realize the significance of improving myself in that aspect.
Perhaps more bad news would be that I won't be visiting here as often, since I'll probably have mostly the weekends (No Saturdays, unless it's gonna be paid O.T.) or evenings to visit.
The interesting fact is that I'll be working in the High-Tech field, and hope that the experience will at least give me an idea as to where to further my Bachelor's degree, something else I think was against my finding a job soon enough, or having to become a contract at this one.
Oh, well, first things first, getting their language mastered!! At least I got a good hold of my own language!! hehe!
