[QUOTE="musicisgood, post: 786233, member: 66584"] [B]I'm not young anymore, and recently I found myself entering the job market here in Japan. Although I've had 2 professional careers including the State license for both of them, I knew they would be useless to me to even bring them up at Hello Works, but it did sound good to them. I also, in Calif. went through the store management program for one of the largest Japanese fast food restaurants both here and Japan, but chose not to mention it due to I'm not interested in working for the company again here in Japan. I probably would get turn down due to my age anyway. Great company to work for and I left the company on very good terms, to even where when I moved here, it was recommended that I contact the headquarters in Tokyo and was pre-given a recommendation to be hired in Japan. Anyway, at Hello Kitty employment today, luck was not on my side. Old age worked against me here. I'll look at it as it, it just wasn't meant to be, although the company was interested in me until they realize that I'm over a certain age. Time to start door knock'n again. [/B] [/QUOTE]
