DISCO’s Boston CF 2011 is up

Each year, DISCO holds a massive Career Forum in Boston for English/Japanese bilinguals (in addition to other job fairs in LA, London, and Tokyo).

A run-down on what DISCO can mean for JET alums turned JD students has already been covered by JETs with J.D.s, and is available here.

The Boston career forum is truly massive, and a good opportunity for anyone considering going in-house, or getting in-house experience. Even if you’re a rising 2L trying to figure out what you can do your 2L summer (and are worried you won’t be able to secure the coveted McLaw Summer Associate position), Boston may present opportunities for you this November, and DISCO has recently opened the page for this fall’s CF for applications. The number of participating companies should grow over time, so keep an eye out for companies looking for a J.D. candidate.

Building a resume on CFN can take some time, so starting early would be advisable.

The page with this fall’s Boston Career Forum can be found here.

 

Winter 2010 JLPT Date Set!

Now that LeBron’s “decision” has made him the walking manifestation of the Cleveland curse, the time has come for Japanese language students across the county to consider their decision.  Is this the year to go for that JLPT certification?  As of earlier this week, the December 2010 U.S. JLPT test date has been set.

Long story short, the test date is Sunday, December 5, 2010 at limited locations across the U.S.

Registration begins on August 2nd.
