Dear Clara,

 

Thank you again for forwarding these great job opportunties. I really enjoy receiving them. I will be visiting D.C to attend the Career and Graduate School Forum hosted by your chapter from Nov 8 to the 10th. I will looking for opportunities to use my JET experience with either the private or public sectors.

 

In light of my upcoming Career Forum, I would like to know if you have JET alums contacts who currently work for the "Institute of International Education" (Dept of State). Since the events will be taking place at night, I would like to arrange for an "informational interview" with alums who hold positions at IIE or other similar institutions. I would like to get their insights into work environment in DC and at IIE. I aware there will be other reps from other companies at the networking event on Wed night, but necessarily in the area I am looking for. (e.g. International Education Programs)

 

To give you a brief background, I was both the JET chapter president in Florida as well as the JET recruiter for the consulate a while back. I've been trying to find "meaningful' work in Florida, but the opportunities are scarce. There's just nothing here.

 

Please kindly let me know if you have suggestions of people who I can meet during the day to fill up my day with informaitonal interviews. I have already scheduled a meeting with the Bilingual Japanese recruiting firm "Interesse" for Tuesday, November 9th. I appreciate any contacts who would be willing to talk to me during that week (either day, afternoon or evening) 

 

Thanks and I appreciate any help.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

John Duque, MBA
