Raku-Job Event

The job situation in Japan is dire, especially due to the recent plunge in the US economy. To answer this urgent call, an NGO has set up Raku-Job, an event where many passionate but jobless Tokyo-ites could look for jobs in the anime, manga and game industry.

Among the employers involved were Gonzo, Production IG, Toho Animation, Koudansha and Hobby Japan. Dunno which game companies were there, I'm guessing it's those anime-game companies that make dating sims and visual novels.

Just like the line for the PS3 and Wii, many potential employees lined up all the way to the outside of the building. Itulah passion Japan.



To give a great first impression, everyone wore a snappy business suit/dress. Of course there were exceptions.



At least he won't be hot under the sun. But it's kinda the edge of winter there, so...

You can go to their website @ http://raku-job.jp/blog/. I like the way they represented the game, anime and manga industry as 3 characters.

Maybe one day I'll be part of the line? :3
