I’m looking to move to Japan, but opportunities for English-speaking-only technical writers are slim, unsurprisingly. Woven by Toyota is hiring for one or two contract positions, and at a salary that’s just enough, but I’m hesitant to even consider leaving my current job for something that isn’t permanent. However, a recruiter told me there’s currently a hiring freeze, hence the contract-only positions, so I’m wondering if it’s the best way to get on board. Does anyone have any info on their hiring freeze? Do they often convert contract employees to permanent ones? #wovenbytoyota #japan
Are you currently US based? Depending on your tenure and relationship with your manager, it might be possible to relocate & do the same work. If that’s what you’re wanting…
I am U.S.-based, but I’ve tried that route and got shut down at the VP-ish level. 😔 Will probably explore it again in the future, I suppose.
