Summary
Global relocation available as of Oct 1, 2019! Relocation is no longer a barrier to my employment. So if you think it's a bit strange to see someone from Japan applying to a completely different country, don't give it a second thought.
I have a background in editing, copy writing, social media promotion (from fiction, legal, financial, medical, IT), teaching ESL, and IT support; and I am interested in broadening my field now primarily in IT work, technical writing positions, copy writing, editing, organizational, investor relations, and administrative work. L1 / L2 Desktop Support Experience.
I have a wide degree of computer, legal, and medical knowledge that would be a great benefit to a client or employer.
And I think, needless to say, I am always seeking to use and improve my teaching skills.
I am primarily interested in finding IT-related work at this time, but have an interest in editing and proofreading, content creation, and ESL teaching as well.
I have experience teaching and editing documents in the medical, patent, financial, legal, and technical fields. I have taught students from former National Cabinet-level politicians to criminal defense attorneys, children, and adults alike from all walks of life. I would also be pleased to have a stable, fulfilling teaching position as well. It would be too difficult to outline all of the types of work I have done, so if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services (技術/人文知識/国際業務) for Japan until Oct 3, 2020. Intend to renew and/or get permanent residency. Semi-conversant, but fully self-sufficient and functional within Japan language skills. Intend to achieve CompTIA+ and JLPTN4 Certification by 2020.
