I have worked as a security guard for 11 years, and I'm 29. After being laid off, I decided to move into nursing, and I have completed a part-time diploma. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Tokyo, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Glad we found this place.

  • Wishing you the best, Mariko. Hope the shop reopens soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

    • thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. After 29 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.

        • Good luck, Mariko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Galway

          • so sorry you're going through this, Mariko. Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page.
