job opportunity for people w/Asian language skills 

HEY. YOU.

You there with the more-than-passing familiarity with Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, or Arabic!

You want a job in the fast-paced world of making sure innocent people don't drive off a cliff? You wanna work at home, for a very queer-friendly liberal European company with flex hours and good benefits?

Are you an irksome pedant whose friends REALLY wish you would apply your gift for spotting fine logical and factual distinctions to something OTHER than their favorite TV shows?

Can you locate more than 20 or 30 different countries on a map without even breaking a sweat? Or did you at least play a lot of Risk as a kid and have a faint idea where stuff is?

Better yet, do you have a "useless" liberal arts degree that you'd like to turn into a reason for your jerkass engineer friends to be ENVIOUS of you for once? 😼

Let me know. My employers are hiring for our Asian language teams.

Be warned that the above opportunity is only a dream job if, like me, there is SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU and your idea of a good time was already spending 6-8 hours a day on Wikipedia. :D

It's a tough job. We have a 40+ page set of guidelines just for the BASIC tasks, and lots of people wash out on the training process. It is SUPER nitpicky work with a lot of ambiguity. It requires constant lateral thinking and a thick skin for (polite and fair, especially on MY watch) criticism.

But if the Full Data Nitpicking Lifestyle still sounds appealing to you, even knowing this job has broken lesser people -- but obsessive freaks like me at least love/hate it -- let's get you in touch with my boss.
