Today is a national holiday, it is Grandparent's' Day. Yoko had dinner with her grandmother tonight. Erik did not go because he taught his first English lesson.
The big event of the day was that Yoko had a job interview. It turned out to be a very different job interview from what we are used to. First of all, there were 2 people being interviewed for the job at the same time. Secondly, Yoko had to do a psyche evaluation. Thirdly, this whole process took 2.5 hours. This job is as a reflexologist, and if she gets hired, she has to go through a month of training with no pay. We will know in a few days if she gets it or not. The are positives and negatives that we are weighing.

That is different for an interview, but as you said you'll just have to wait and see if its worth it. How has the weather been? And have you made it to church yet?
Hi Erik and Yoko,
Thanks so much for including me in your email letting us know about your blog.
Because I teach in the Career Skills Program at Yavapai College (Arizona/USA), I am very interested in the differences between working here and in Japan. I would like to share this information with my students so they can see another perspective. I am looking forward to seeing updates on Yoko's job search!
I was stunned to see that two people were being interviewed at the same time for the same position! How different than here, isn't it?
Can you help me understand why that process is used? Is that just the one company or is that format used across different businesses? Inquiring minds want to know... ;-)
Talk soon,
Lindsay
