Are you feeling a knot of anxiety in your stomach every time company news breaks? Are you worried about potential layoffs or restructuring? Job insecurity can be a real drag on your well-being and career growth. I understand your concerns. Here are some key signs to watch for that might indicate it's time to explore new opportunities:

Is your company experiencing constant downsizing, hiring freezes, or departmental mergers? These frequent changes can create a stressful atmosphere and signal potential instability.

Does your manager avoid discussing future goals or your role in the company's direction? A lack of transparency regarding career paths and long-term plans can be a red flag.

Are there limited opportunities for professional development? Is there a culture of stagnation and a lack of encouragement for upskilling or reskilling? A dead-end job can hinder your long-term career aspirations.

Do you feel underutilized or constantly passed over for challenging projects? Is your skillset not being leveraged effectively? Feeling undervalued can be demotivating and impact your sense of purpose.

Is your job impacting your mental or physical health? Are you experiencing burnout, anxiety, or decreased work-life balance? Prioritizing your well-being is crucial, and a toxic work environment might require a change.

 Leaving a job is a significant decision.  Before making the leap, consider:

Do you have an emergency fund to cover expenses during a job search?
Research current trends and opportunities in your field.
What kind of work environment and opportunities do you seek?

I can assist you in crafting a strong resume and cover letter, offer practice interviews, and connect you with valuable job search resources. Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment and explore your options.  Remember, your career path is yours to navigate.

 Is It Time to Say Goodbye? - Episode 103

Full transcript: https://japanesemayuna.com/

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の9回目です。もうすぐ桜の季節なので、日本に旅行を計画している生徒さんが多いです。去年も一昨年もコロナウイルスで、たくさんの有名な観光地が、お花見のために集まることを禁止していました。なので、今年のお花見は混雑するかもしれません。私の近所の公園にも桜が咲いています。これについては、去年の４月に録音したシーズン１の20回目でお話ししました。よかったら聞いてみてください。

Hello, This is episode 9 of season 2 of my podcast.  It will soon be cherry blossom season and many students are planning a trip to Japan. Last year and the year before, due to the coronavirus, many famous tourist attractions banned people from getting together for cherry blossom viewing. So this year’s cherry blossom viewing may be crowded. Cherry blossoms are also blooming in my neighbourhood park. I talked about this in the 20th episode of season 1, recorded last April. If you have time, please take a listen.

先週私は体調を崩しました。木曜日から目眩と動悸がして、週末にはもっとひどくなりました。日曜日の最初のレッスンが終わった後、すぐに病院に行くことにしました。私がいつも行っている歯医者の近くに、日曜日でも開いている内科の病院がありました。そこでCTI検査をして、原因を調べました。CTI検査では、体の中の写真を撮ります。検査では、胃が３倍ぐらいの大きさに膨らんで、他の内臓を圧迫していることが分かりました。お医者さんは「十二指腸の動きが弱くなっている」と説明してくれました。

Last week I fell ill. I started feeling dizzy and having palpitations on Thursday and it got worse over the weekend. I decided to go to the hospital immediately after my first lesson on Sunday. Near my regular dentist there was a medical hospital that was open on Sundays. There I had a CTI test to find out what was causing the problem; in a CTI test, pictures are taken of the inside of your body. The examination showed that my stomach had swelled to about three times its size and was pressing on my other internal organs. The doctor explained that the duodenum (the part that connects the stomach to the intestines) was weakening.

病院でもらった薬を飲んだら、症状は治りました。月曜日にもう一度検査をして、そのあと本屋に行って、社会学の本を３冊買いました。最近、Shrinkflationという英語の単語を知りました。日本語では同じ現象を「ステルス値下げ」と呼びます。「ステルス」は戦闘機の名前から取っています。「ステルス値下げ」は、消費者に気づかれないように原価を下げることです。たとえば、パッケージの大きさは変えずに、中のお菓子のサイズだけを小さくして、今までと同じ値段で売ります。

Why do employers overlook so many qualified applicants? 

One common reason is that the candidates' resumes look like job descriptions. There's nothing special or impressive about them. 

To get interviews, you need to add a secret ingredient to your resume--measurable results, of course!

You'll learn what measurable outcomes you should include, how many to include, which verbs to use before sharing results, and you'll get many examples.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

前回に続いて、海外旅行の話をします。

もう出てしまいましたが、乗り継ぎでシンガポールにいました！久しぶりの出国だったので、めっちゃ緊張しました。

そして、いろいろと違いました。
デジタル化、少人数化が進んでいると感じました。


アプリを使って、チェックイン、搭乗までスムーズにいけました。

国内でJet starを使って、北海道と大阪の間を行き来しています。ですので、アプリを使って、チェックインをして、搭乗券がQRコードだけでいけるのは知っていました。

それで今回はシンガポール航空でチケットを取ったので、アプリをダウンロードして、予約番号などを入力すると、QRコードをiPhoneのWalletに追加することができました。

ここまでできると国内とほぼ同じなので安心ですね。

チェックインもアプリで事前にオンラインでできたので、荷物を預ける時も、時間が短くてすみました。


出国手続きをするところも、前は結構並んだ記憶がありましたが、遅い時間というのもあると思いますが、今回はあっという間でした。というのも、機械にパスポートを読み取らせて、同じ人物がカメラで自動でチェックされます。

それがクリアになれば、そのままもう出国、という感じでした。本当にあっという間で少しビックリしました。


それと、シンガポールの入国審査も事前にオンラインですませておくことができました。今回は乗り換えだけなんですが、少しだけ時間があるので、ぼくの日本語レッスンを受けてくれている、シンガポールの方と会いました。
その話もまたしますね！

事前にオンラインで済ませておくことがありますが、その分、旅行の時は待ち時間なども少なく、とてもスムーズで快適だなと思いました。

本当にいい時代ですね。


ということで、今回はここまでです。
続き、また話しますね！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
