Hello,
I've been living in Japan for the last 5 years, I currently work at a Japanese company but I am trying to find contracting work with no luck.
I have an active Secret clearance, fluent Japanese, 6 years in the US army doing logistics,
I'm currently in the navy reserves, also as logistics. I have a bachelor's degree, and I currently work as a facilities/maintenance technician at a Japanese company, I'm on a Japanese spouse visa, and have a Japanese drivers license and a car.
I have applied to just about every position on ClearanceJobs and USAjobs, as well as some of the major contractors here, Amentum, Alutiiq, Chenega, Cherokee, Booz Allen, etc. I've even applied for USO positions that always seem open. However, I never receive so much as a call, I typically just receive an email with a , "while you have a strong resume, we have decided to pursue other candidates" auto-message.
I custom tailor each resume and cover letter for each position, but I'm having no luck.
Can anyone offer advice ?
I'm open to any location within Japan, Kanto area, Sasebo, Okinawa, etc.
Thanks in advance
