Description
In today's episode, I chat with Sam Thornton: a self-described bridge to Japan for startups and enterprise software vendors. He works to fuel growth in Japan for software companies by working to help employers acquire the talent they need for success in an ever-shrinking working population. In the episode, Sam shares his experiences transitioning from an English teacher to a recruiter, some of the "why"'s behind the talent crunch many companies face in Japan (and what that means for job-seekers), as well as what it really takes to pass N1 on the JLPT.
Today's word:
