Hanshin Lookoing for an Interpreter

Torakichi-san, thank you for the notice. I've been looking to get into baseball somehow and this could be the opportunity that I've been waiting for.

It's notices like this that make this web site worth checking out everyday.

I saw this in SanSpo.com on January 5 (having been in the U.S. until the previous day), and so I faxed my resume to them with a note explaining that the original papers were on the way. Then sprinted off to get a photo taken, since they said that they required one. I then mailed them the original and called to explain matters; they spoke to me like I was someone important until they found out why I was calling. ^_^; (But the man did a double-take when he heard my katakana surname, so presumably my Japanese is good enough.)

I haven't gotten a reply yet, and assume that they will only notify people whom they actually want to interview. That's too bad, since this would have been the most perfect job imaginable. My interest in Japan, in fact, began with the '85 Hanshin Tigers when I was a kid.

Does anyone have any other information on how one would go about getting into teams' fields of view, hiring-wise?

I'm sure that's been covered elsewhere in this site; Google should help.

Still, isn't that the kind of job you just luck into? I've no experience in this kind of thing, of course, but it sounds like the kind of situation where one day someone says "By the way, my friend's auntie's boyfriend's dog's trainer's sister's hairdresser's ex-boyfriends's roommate's boss said he was looking for an interpreter for the Hanshin Tigers" and two weeks later you're helping the team and its prospective new suketto negotiate a contract.
