SUMMARY:JETAA Kyara-ben Contest

Join us on July 11th at 11:00 AM (PDT) via Zoom for a fun afternoon of friendly competition and getting to know people from all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond. \nThis year’s theme is Regions of Japan\, and the second most important criteria for your bento (after your character of course) is to create your design around the theme. You should choose one region or prefecture of Japan\, and highlight something special from that region in your bento. You can choose anything that represents the region\, such as mascots\, scenery\, landmarks\, regional foods\, agricultural products\, etc\, and incorporate it into your bento through either your character\, ingredients\, or design. Be prepared to describe how your interpretation relates to the theme in your paragraph description to the judges in the submission form. \nFor more information please visit: https://jetaabc.ca/20210611-kyara-ben-contest/

SUMMARY:Marketing Your JET Experience
DESCRIPTION:Wondering how best to describe to future employers ALL that you accomplished on JET? Confused on how to define your JET experience if you’re not working in higher education/teaching? \nConcerned that your resume really doesn’t say ALL that it could\, or that it doesn’t offer the reader a strong understanding of your skills and expertise? Have you pondered how a functional or chrono-functional resume might “sell you” more to readers? \nIf the answer is yes to any or all of the above questions\, we have the career development session for you! Join Leah Gowron\, career coach and JET alumna (Saitama ’90-’91) as she offers thoughts and suggestions on how best to market your JET experiences. With more than 25 years of career training\, focusing on a range of professions\, and having participated in the AfterJET Conference in Tokyo since 2001\, Leah will offer solid examples\, easy hints and some potentially new ways to express your knowledge\, skills and abilities on your resume. We’ll cover ways to translate what you did on JET to non-teaching audiences\, look at different resume formats and discuss why some may work better than others\, and think about ways to best market YOU to future employers. It really can be fun and easy\, with a bit of advance time and prep. \nYou can register to join us for the live session\, receive a copy of the recording\, or both! You also have the chance to submit your resume to have the JET portion reviewed (anonymously\, of course) by Leah during the session. \nContact Loretta with questions at career@jetaabc.ca or request the Zoom link here

SUMMARY:JETAABC Yomi-Kai
DESCRIPTION:JETAABC Yomi-Kai Feb 2021: What are we reading this time? \nWe will start the year with a classic short story by Tanizaki Junichiro’s debut work\, “The Tattooer.” This is Tanizaki’s very first published short story and really sets the tone of his future writing styles and themes.
