“Tanaka-san no kitai na sairai”

“Tanaka’s curious return”   He’s back! For those of you that don’t remember, back in August 2004 I recieved an email from MR.TANAKA (not his real name), a recruiter looking for japanese speakers (Click here for the entire sordid tale). Well, last night I recieved this email:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please allow me to introduce myself followed by the job information.
I am TANAKA with Management Recruiters- Japanese. I am currently
looking for a person with English and Japanese skills. This position
is the account assistant, and the company produces paint materials
and glues for various industrial materials. The position requires
previous administrative assistant as well as knowledge of accounting.
The salary is more than 35K and overtime. The company is located in
Atlanta area.

If you are interested in this position, please let me know by either
email or phone call. A phone call is preferable since I can ask you
a couple of question. Please feel free to ask if you have any question
on either our service or this position.

I am looking forward to talking to you,
MR.TANAKA
Account Executive
Management Recruiters- Japanese

Apparently I did not make much of an impression on Mr. TANAKA the first time around, since he has forgotten my name and doesn’t recognize my email address (probably deleted it right after we spoke 🙂 ). In any case, I sent him a reply email reminding him that he contacted me once before, but to call me tomorrow morning if he wants to speak with me. I probably don’t have the qualifications they are looking for for this particular job, since I haven’t ever done any real accounting… but nothing worse than what happened last time can come of it.

As an aside, I’ve lost my atm/debit card (5 days running so far) and have been trading emails with a previously somewhat-estranged acquaintance. Lets hope it doesn’t come back to bite me as it has before
