Hello <<First Name>>-san,

Everyone has heard about the Major League Baseball interpreter who did some bad things… but it has brought the world of interpreters and translators to the forefront. If you are on LinkedIn, check out this post about this situation, which I thought succinctly summarized how interpreters and translators are different - - - and also how important it is to be ethical in this industry.

There is no job ad on Nihongo Jobs to replace this interpreter yet 😉 but definitely check out the awesome roles below. There are 18 Featured ads (inc. 1 new fully remote related to Japan travel) and the job board has set a new record with 3,600 job ads total 🤩

Sincerely - どうぞよろしくお願いします。
