Hello <<First Name>>-san,

This week there have been record numbers of Japanese jobs in the US on NihongoJobs.com! Today it’s 3,462, and on Tuesday it was 3,511 🤩

The 9 Featured job ads (inc. 1 new one re: Supply Chain) are mainly located in Michigan and Ohio. Both of these states have a huge Japanese population with many companies, restaurants, and grocery stores, and they’re great places to live if you are open to relocation 😉

If you do check out the job board and have any kaizen suggestions from a user’s perspective, please don’t hesitate to hit “reply” and let me know!

Sincerely - どうぞよろしくお願いします。

Kasia
