On 1st May, I applied for a post at Temple University Japan (a US university with a major Tokyo campus). I can't recall the deadline for submission, if indeed it had one since the job advert is still posted but has no deadline on it. Anyway, today three and a half months later I got a rejection letter(email) from them. Nicely worded, but still a rejection letter. At least they had the courtesy to send a rejection email, which so many places don't do. They claim it's because they get so many applications, but the cost of sending a rejection email to all unsuccessful applicants is so small if you set it up properly, that it's just laziness on their behalf, really.

So, the search goes on. There's a position at Tokyo Tech (soon to become Tokyo Institute of Science) and possibly one at Hosei University. Tokyo Tech is definite, I just have to get to it. Hosei is slightly annoying. They mention business strategy in the advert but when I asked if that was a complete requirement I got a "we can't help anyone individually" reply. Sigh. So, annoying though they are, I need a job and it's a decent university so I need to keep applying.
