There has been no response from the company in Japan. I sent my resume to them last Thursday, and on Friday received an email asking me to send an email to a different person in the company to set up a time for a phone interview. I sent that email off right away.

And I waited. And waited.

Two Japanese business days later, I still hadn't gotten a response so I sent off a email asking for confirmation.

And I waited. And waited.

Two more Japanese business days and I have not gotten a response. I've checked in my spam filters, they have not had any false positives. Nothing. Not a peep from these guys. I am getting disappointed. I was so looking forward to this opportunity.

I will try one more email asking for confirmation then give up.

It's a pity. This job was such a good fit for me.

On a totally unrelated note: Reiko, my former language exchange partner, emailed me saying a friend of hers has come to Ottawa to study English and needs a language partner. She asked if I would be willing to do be that partner. I said sure. Reiko said she would pass on my email address to this girl. This should be fun.
