USJETAA is going to Seattle! We are so excited to collaborate with at their annual Transitions career-focused event by bringing USJETAA's Career Compass to town. Join us in person at Seattle University on Saturday, October 3, 2026!

This will include a career workshop, market update from Quick USA providing insight on finding Japan-facing jobs in the U.S., and panel discussion focused on navigating the US job market and job hunt. We'll take a short networking break with light food and beverages.

Stick around afterwards for the Expo- an opportunity to meet and talk with local Japan-facing companies, organizations and institutions. This is your opportunity build meaningful professional connections in the Seattle area. Hope to see you there!

🍁 Autumn Equinox (秋分の日, Shūbun no Hi) marks the arrival of autumn in Japan and is a time to appreciate the changing season. It’s also a national holiday when many people visit family, tend to ancestors’ graves, and enjoy the season's splendor.

As the days grow cooler and the leaves change color, it’s the perfect time to welcome autumn, take a moment to notice the changes around you and recall some your koyo or omijigari outings in Japan.

USJETAA is extremely proud to welcome Harling Immigration Law as our newest JET Alum-Owned Business Sponsor! Founded by Nick Harling (Mie, 2001–2003), the Charlotte, North Carolina–based firm helps individuals, companies, and organizations navigate the U.S. immigration system.

"Having gone through the process of living and working abroad myself, I understand what it means to build a life in a new country," Nick says. "That experience in Japan gave me a deep appreciation for the challenges people face navigating a foreign immigration system. It's what drives my work every day."

Thanks for supporting the JET community through corporate sponsorship, Nick!

Today is Respect for the Aged Day (敬老の日, Keirō no Hi) in Japan!

Keirō no Hi is a time to celebrate and appreciate the older generations who help shape families, communities, and traditions. It’s also a reminder of the connections we build across generations, something we know is at the heart of the JET community.

Wishing our JETAA community a happy Keirō no Hi! 💙 Arigatou!

Have you been wanting to piece together your experiences and find an impactful way to give back after JET? JET and GLOBIS alum Saskia Rock will be part of a GLOBIS online seminar, "Your Career in Japanese Organizations," on October 6. Both Saskia and GLOBIS have been supportive and engaged partners with our alumni community. They will be discussing:

• Working effectively across cultures
• Growing your career in Japanese companies
• Understanding leadership and decision-making styles
• Navigating organizational culture and expectations
• Building a meaningful professional path connected to Japan

If Japan is already part of your career journey, or if you're considering it for the future, I think you'll find the conversation valuable.

Not sure what’s next? Start where you are.

Our final Career Coaching cohort of the year is led by JET alum and certified career coach Emily Frank (Hokkaido, 1993–1996). This 3-month series gives you the space, structure, and support to get clear on what you want next.

Through guided workshops, peer connections, personalized feedback, and one-on-one coaching, you’ll turn reflection into action alongside fellow JET alumni.

Space is very limited (we keep these cohorts small!) and exclusively for US JETs and alumni.
