オーストラリアで仕事探し

前回、オーストラリアの就職事情をざっくり説明したわけだが、今回は自分がどういうところに就職したいかという話をします。



当初、私がカレッジ（大学入学するための学校）に入った際には、まだ独り身だったので自由に世界を駆け巡るような仕事をしたいと考えていました。

具体的には、卒業後、東大の院に入り直して外交官を目指すとか、在外公館派遣員（領事館の使いっ走りみたいなの）に応募して２，３年働くとか、国際機関への就職を目指すとか考えていました。



しかし、状況は一変し、そもそも国際関係には向いていないことが分かったり、個人的な事情で現地での就職にこだわりだしたのだ。




というのも、大学生活を重ねていく中で、全世界の利益に寄与するという信念が揺らいでしまったのだ。私という人間のスケールが全世界の人間に奉仕するというものからもっと身近で個人的な物事に着目するような人間にしかなれないのだと分かった。


ちょっと分かりづらいと思うので、噛み砕いて言うと、世界のことなんかイメージして働けない。もっと身の回りの出来事に注目して働きたい。そう思うようになってしまったのだ。


カレッジ入学時の本気で世界のために働こうという思いは霧散してしまった。





そんな訳で、今、私が就職に対して求めていることは、

1. オーストラリアで就職できること
2. 待遇面が良いこと
3. 希望する職種であること

という三点だろうか。

この際、給与は二の次である。とは言えオーストラリアで就職できたならば、世界でトップクラスで給与の良いこの国には何も不満は抱かないだろう。

また待遇面に関しても、ほとんどの仕事は日本でいう定時前には解散されている。

その根拠はオーストラリアの店がほとんど夕方辺りには閉まっているということである。

とはいえ、これは職種次第なのでなんとも言えないが、重視していきたいポイントだ。

最後に希望する職種だが、正直、オーストラリアの外国人に対する厳しい就職事情を見るにあたり、選んでいる余裕はないのでは思ってしまうが、それでもあえて希望するなら、旅行業界、ゲーム業界、出版業界の辺りに努めてみたいと考えています。

一番、現実的なのは旅行業界かな？今後、東京五輪も控えているので日本人の需要も見込めるし、私自身、旅行に関しては一家言持ちである。

ゲーム、出版は私がゲーム好き、漫画好きであるところに起因しているが、正直、人気はあるし門戸は広くないので、難題だ。

以上が私が就職に求めていることだ。

ちなみに、上記の業界でオーストラリアにアクセスを持ちたいと考えている方がいたらぜひご一報を。

オーストラリアの就職事情

お久しぶりです。クボタです。

最近、ネット界隈では本名とハンドルネームの境目が曖昧になってきて、あちこちで色んな名前を使ってて訳が分かりません。




 そんな時代についていけない話はさておき、現在もオーストラリアの大学に在学中のクボタが今後どのように就職していくかを考察してみます。





 まず端的に現状を説明するなら、オーストラリアで就職するのは難しいような気がします。





 まずオーストラリアの就職率ですが、データによると2015年の就職率は65％で微増傾向。非就職率は6.2％で大して変わっていないそうです。



もう一つ見つけたデータだと日本の就職率は71％でオーストラリアは72％でした。上記との差異はデータの収集年の違いでしょうか。

ついでに、こちらによると大卒の就職率は96.7％です。




いずれにせよ、パッと見そこまで悪くない就職率にも見えるが、問題はオーストラリアで就労する際は永住権を持つもの以外は圧倒的に排除されているという点です。




ちょっとでもオーストラリアで就職を試みた人なら分かると思うが、ほぼ全ての仕事に対して永住権ビザを所持していることを求められるのだ。

これは学生ビザの私のみならず、ワーキングホリデービザの方々も大変苦労する点だろう。

理由は、永住権所持者以外の英語の不出来、短期のビザしか保有していないので長期的に働くことが難しいなどなど経営者の立場で考えれば積極的に取りに行きたくないのは当然であろう。




ちなみに、周りの日本人でオーストラリアに残って就職できている人を私は見たことがない。
ただどうも周りの日本人はあまり本気でオーストラリアで就職しようとしているようには見えず皆、日本での就職を希望しているようだ。




正直なところ、給与も待遇も良いにも関わらず日本での就職を希望する気持ちが私には分からない。客観的に言って日本で暮らす人に比べて英語が堪能な我々が現地に就職しなくて一体誰が就職するのだろうと思う。



それともチャレンジしたうえでやはりダメだという結論に達してしまったのだろうか。




いずれにせよ、これが私を取り巻くオーストラリアの就職事情である。
私は石にかじりついてでもオーストラリアに居たい理由があるので、決して諦めません。



とりあえず、今回はここまでです。次回は私自身がどうしていきたいのか書いていきます。

【予習】ASNS2636~Enigma of Japanese power~Essay【Preparation】

エッセイどうしようかな～。とりあえず、以下の3つから選ばなきゃいけないみたい。

1. Position Paper
2. Policy recommendation study
3. Research paper

1.はある物事に対して賛成か反対。そうであるかそうでないかについて書くエッセイ。

2.は特定の事件に対して、有効な解決策を提示していくエッセイ。

3.は特定の分野を自分でまとめたエッセイ。

あとは大前提だけど、膨大な量のリーディングをやらなきゃいけないので一番楽なのは、プレゼンテーションと同じトピックについて書くのがいいかな。

それなら当座は、プレゼンのトピック決めと来週のリーディングを読み進めるのが自ずとエッセイのトピックを決めることになるかな。あーでも、終盤辺りのリーディングが疎かになっちゃうなー。

うーん、ひとまず今週は課題図書を読むだけにしとくかー。他の教科のリーディングもあるしな。

それが終わってまだ時間があったら全体の課題図書にさらっと目を通してみよう。

まあ、多分、そこまで行く頃には来週になってるかもなので、プレゼンのトピックも決まってるでしょう。

以上、私的メモでした。



【追記】エッセイのアイディア


いくつか思いついたのをメモ書き。

• 日中韓における、経済的な争いを東アジア共同体の設立によって解決できないか。
• ヤクザの社会における必要性。彼らは社会に存在していいのか。

上記の何番の形式をしようするかは未定だが、とりあえずピンときたアイディアだけ書いておきました。

24歳になりました。

久々、更新です。タイトルの通り、今日、7月30日が私の誕生日です。
なんだかんだで24年間、生きてこれました。



色々あったけど、今、多分、幸せです。



まあ、問題も山積みですが、とりあえず、自分も含めて周りは誰も病気じゃないのでそれが何よりです。



いっつも誕生日は今まで生きてこれたことに感謝するとともに、明日、死ぬかもしれないと考えて遺書チックなことを考えたりします。


とりあえず、財産という財産はないのですが、もし死んだらシドニーにあるものは同居人に全て譲り渡すこと。日本にあるものは両親へ渡すこと。口座のお金は元々、両親の物なので両親に返すこと。遺体は出来れば土葬がいいかな？でもお金が掛かることはあんまり好きじゃないので葬式も含めて出来るだけ安上がりにして欲しい。安いなら土葬だろうが火葬だろうがどうでもよろし（笑）


それくらいでしょうか。




今後については色々、考えているのですが、上手く言葉に出来ないので自分の中で整理がついたら形にしていきたいです。




とりあえず、元気です。毎日、シドニーで頑張ってます。ではまたノシ

【予習】ASNS2631 Week3 Lecture【Preperation】

Tutorial discussion:

1. What is the relationship between Buddhism and the imperial family? What is the relationship between Buddhism and Shintō?

As the seat of the 'imperial state', the capital may have housed as many as 10,000 government officials, and as the central cathedral of a national Buddhism, the landscape was dotted with temples large and small.

The function of Buddhism as 'protector of the state'(p.332)

In Nara, it was Temmu's great-grandson Obito [1 (Emperor Shomu, r. 724- 749) who built the edifice of state-sponsored Buddhism, centered on the cult of Vairocana and of the emperor, in Todaiji.

→Buddhism was national religion for Imperial family.




Dokyo affair represented serious conflicts between Shinto legitimating principles and Buddhist principles.

→Conflict between Buddhism and Shintoism because emperor gave much more power to Buddhist  




The revulsion against Dokyo, and the reaction against Nara Buddhist institutions may be part of the reason for the move of the capital.

→Because of Buddhism become more powerful and started to involve in politics, emperor Kanmu didn't like to Buddhism involved to politics. Therefore, he have moved capital to Heiankyo平安京.





The devoutly Buddhist Shomu, who had declared himself 'the servant of the Three Treasures' of Buddhism, however, found himself trapped by conflicting desires. On the one hand he wished to abdicate and devote himself to the pursuit of religious progress by taking religious vows, but on the other he also wanted to preserve the monarchy in his own line

→It is complex that one side he follow Buddhism, but other side he want to control the politics by himself. Not by Buddhism.

2. How was imperial succession arranged in the Nara period? What were the
(dis)advantages?

 the glory of the Nara period dominated by the Temmu line.

→The achievement of Tenmu is equally the achievement of Nara period.

the desire of the imperial house (Kammu) and the bureaucracy (nobility) to escape the baneful influence of the Nara-centered Buddhist church

→moved capital

3. What is the difference between a “court” and a “capital city”?

to phrase the question in different terms, was Heijo the 'first permanent capital', or merely the penultimate 'court'?

→These conclusions must be regarded as tentative, but however much the founding of Heijo in 710 may have been based on the expectation that it was to be a permanent capital

What would be the founding of Heijo?

• population?
• Enormous building?
• Emperor?
• Middle of politics?
• End of silkroad?

4. What motivated the construction of a capital city? The reasons may have varied over
time so consider each capital separately.

Heijokyo平城京

Emperor wanted to be far way from Asuka飛鳥 because there were old aristocrats who are Yamato clans. Emperor wanted to hold his own power to control the country.

→Source in Japanese.平城京に遷都されたのは、なぜか？　平城京から遷都されたのは、なぜか？

Heiankyo平安京

First, Heijo was somewhat less an 'immutable' capital than we are accustomed to think, but still retained some characteristics of a court site that had to compete with other candidates in the capital district. A second, corollary point is that the emperor and the court were not confined to a single capital city, as they would become in the Heian period.

' ... the monks' immense　political success more than anything else contributed to the declining prestige of Buddhism and forced the Nara bureaucrats to transfer the capital site.

 Kammu himself in 788, that the new capital district was 'convenient by water and by land'

 an important consideration in both the prosecution of the frontier wars in the northeast, and the pursuit of communications with the southwest and with the continent.

The revulsion against Dokyo, and the reaction against Nara Buddhist institutions may be part of the reason for the move of the capital. But surely there are other reasons to explain the uprooting of an urban complex approximating 200,000 souls in population-about 3% to 4% of the total population at the time and to justify the vast expense of replacing the hundreds of official buildings and thousands of official domiciles that were to be abandoned.

【復習】ASNS2631 Week2 Lecture【Review】

Before starting the review for this subject I'd like to mention about tutorial discussion for tomorrow.

These are the question for tomorrow.

Tutorial discussion: 

1. What is the relationship between Shintō and the imperial family? 
2. What are the historical and cultural significance of Kojiki and Nihonshoki? What function did these texts serve?
3. What impact did continental civilization (from China and Korea) have on the formation of a centralized Japanese polity? Give specific examples. 
4. Reading Shōtoku’s “constitution” carefully, attempt to distill its essential message. What appears to have been his primary objective? Is the word “constitution” appropriate? 

These question are related to what we have done today in lecture.

However, today's topic was

Establishment of Early Polity (Making Japan)

-Lecture on the early state, the emperor system and religion

From archipelago to nation. 19th century Hokkaido and Okinawa unified to Japan.

Until the Japan unified as Japan there were many competing clans(氏uji) and king.

日本の古代における氏（うじ、ウジ）とは、事実上または系譜上、祖先を同じくする同族集団、すなわち氏族を指す。家々は氏を単位として結合し、土着の政治的集団となった。さらに、ヤマト王権（大和朝廷）が形成されると、朝廷を支え、朝廷に仕える父系血縁集団として、氏姓（うじかばね）制度により姓氏（せいし）へと統合再編され、支配階級の構成単位となった。

In the early stage of Japan Uji is genealogically in the same line, same group, and the group is called 氏族shizoku. Each of the house used Uji as unit and they combined as a local political group. After all when the Yamato Kingdom had established Uji become the supporting group of Yamato. The Uji is the unit of the governing classes.

Yamato clan traditions

• Sun is the worship of primitive religion
• Yamato's family shrine at Ise（伊勢神宮）

6th century - Adaptation of continental things -> Writing -> Transformation of information -> tool to unify Japan

古事記と日本書紀
Kojiki and Nihonshoki

Kojiki and Nihonshoki are the one of earliest historical textual in Japan.

Kojiki was written in 712.

Nihonshoki was written in 720.

Textualisation = proliferation

By using these books Yamato clans spread their morality to conquer Japan.

Origin of Shitonism神道

Shitoism set emperor as highest.

Shintoism was not a codified define religion until 19th century

There are shrine at Ise as a family shrine for emperor

Each 20 years Ise shrine rebuild and it's called 式年遷宮shikinen sengu。

The reason for the shikinen senguu is to keep the shrine new and remind people the importance of Shitoism

The difference between western and eastern religion

Western is orthodoxy which is important to believe the god.

Eastern is orthopraxy  which is important to do some actions for god.

The introduction of Buddhism

Paikche(552) introduced Buddhism to Japan

Four noble truth四聖諦

Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering.

Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: it is this craving which leads to re-becoming, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there; that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for becoming, craving for disbecoming.

Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, non-reliance on it.

Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering: it is this noble eightfold path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.

釈迦は初転法輪において、まず迷いの現実が苦であることと、その苦は克服しうるものであることを明らかにした。しかも、苦は単に苦として外にあるのでなく、我々がそれをどう受け取るのかで変わってくることを説いて、「煩悩」こそがすべてを苦と受け取らせる原因であることを明らかにした。したがって、この煩悩を正しく処理すれば、苦に悩まされない境地をうる。その道こそ、いっさいの自己愛を捨て、他に同化することにあるので、その根本は自己の本姿に徹することである。つまり、本来、執着すべきでない自己に執着することこそ、苦の原因である。この「苦」を滅して涅槃の世界に入る方法こそ「仏道」である。

As you know Buddhism is created in India. From India to Japan there have been many things(local philosophy, architecture, ect, ) 

The path way where Buddhism came from

Early Buddhism and the state

Buddhism had spread from aristocrats to people.
They held ceremony of Buddhism.

大化の改新taika no kaishin
大宝律令taihourituryo

These two was used as centralization of Japan.

Public Authority(公的認可) is the key word for entire semester.
The opposite word is private power.



Get bit lazy in the last part but however I've included everything I've learned today  

【復習】CHNS2601 Week1 Turorial【Review】

比

First we've learned  comparative sentence with 比 today.
There are 3 patterns using 比.

1. A + 比 + B + Adj
2. A + 比 + B + Adj + 一点儿/得多/多了
3. A + 比 + B + 更/还 + Adj

Ex.

我比我的女朋友高。

I am taller than my girlfriend.

今天比昨天热多了。

Today is much hotter than yesterday.

今天热，明天比今天更热。 

Today was hot. Tomorrow is even hotter than yesterday.

了

When 了 occurs at the ends of a sentence, it usually indicates a change of status or the realization of the new situation.

Ex.

下雪了。

It is snowing now.

我的女朋友不生气了。

My girlfriend is not angry anymore.

会

会 indicates an anticipated event or action. It is modal verb.

Ex.

明天会下雨。

It could rain tomorrow. (Uncertain)

明天要下雨。

It going to be rain tomorrow. (Certain)

明天绝对不会下雨

It is must not going to be rain tomorrow. (Certain) 

我会用筷子了。

I am able to use chopsticks now.

Adj + 一点儿

The expression (一)点儿 can be placed after an adjective to indicate slight qualification.

Ex.

冷点儿

a bit cold

快点儿

a bit quick

高一点儿

a bit tall

一点儿 does not precede the adjective. The following phrases are incorrect.

Ex.

一点儿高

一点儿冷

一点儿慢

In the class we also learned 好一点儿。

好 < 好一点儿 < 更好 < 最好

Good < little bit better < better < best

好一点儿 goes between 好 and 更好。

不但，，，而且，，，

Not only,,,but also,,,

Ex.

我的女朋友不但会说英文而且会说中文。

My girlfriend not only able to speak English but also be able to speak Chinese.

我不但常常复习生词语法而且有时候预习生词语法。

I usually not only review vocabulary and grammar but also sometimes prepare for vocab and grammar. 

【復習】ASNS2632 Week1 Lecture【Review】

Writing from university so there's no Japanese.


The first lesson of ASNS2632(The Pre  modern social history of Japan) has started.


Major topics start off from 16th century which is pre modern era lead by Tokugawa. In other word, it was called pre Tokugawa Japan.


During 16th century, it was the first time that West(Portuguese) came to Japan with gun and cross. Most of them are  missionaries, traders, and soldiers.


Not only the gun and cross, but also they have taught modern technologies such as castle building, western products, etc.


They were significant factor for Japanese that they reconsolidate Japan as Tenka.










Following the history there were three conquerors in Japan.
Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Oda Nobunaga

Oda Nobunaga had made the basic Tenka which means he almost conquer Japan but he betrayed by his subordinate Akechi Mituhide.


However, he have done

• Military unification
• Buddhist suppression
• Military technology(Ex. Used gun in battle of Nagashino)

The reasons why he could done those stuffs are

• Authorized by emperor
• Strong military
• Controlled economy

Toyotomi Hedeyoshi

Hedeyoshi has become lord of Japan after Nobunaga died because he eliminated Akechi Mitsuhide speedy and take over Nobunaga's son who was just 5 years old.


However after he taken the real power he have done and tried,

• Military unifier
• Social reform
• Become world conquer

There are many things that he have done for social reform

Social reform

• wide range of economic reform
• survey land
• Sword hunt
• Centralized Daimyo

Tokugawa Ieyasu

He might be the longest conquer of Japan in the history. After Hedeyoshi have died Hedeyoshi asked him to become next conquer. There was a conflict between Ishida mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu that who become the next lord but Ishida was not popular because he did not join the Korean war.


However, he have done

• Tax and currency reform
• Support Christian
• Become Shogun(authorized by emperor)

Not only because of above but there was long peace which is created by Tokugawa.
This is called Tokugawa pax.

Tokugawa pax(1603-1868)

One of the feature which support this pax was Shinokosho(士農工商)

Warrior

As you can see from this figure Warrior is the top ranked people.

They are only 6% of the population in Japan at that time.

Also they are privileged class. The reason why they were privileged is that I guess they had power to protect their land for others and instead of that other class pay the tax to them. However, still need further more research for this.

Peasantry

The second top ranked in the figure. 

84% of the population in Japan.

As the professor said, it's might not accurate to call them peasantry. Because, it's hard to jumble together that some of peasant doesn't have any power and just rent the land from land owner and some of peasant lend the land. The peasant who lend the land and had massive power at surrounded land called Gounou（豪農）.

However, during the era, producer have much more power than others. The reason why they are ranked in second of the class is that farm produce is much more reliable than any other things even the money. Especially rice crop is very important for Japanese and it's still cropping in Japan.

Artisan

Artisan is people who makes something which was necessary for people's life.

They are producer like same as peasantry so they ranked in third.

One of feature of artisan is most of artisan wanted to become Oyakata（親方） and they first become discipline of Oyakata. The detail is written here in Japanese.

Merchant

Merchant think as exploiters because they didn't produce anything but they become rich by trading. Instead of that they were poor in society.

Untouchables

2.5％ of the population.

They are untouchables because of their occupation. Untouchables usually do the job which people don't want to do such as funeral, cleaning, killing, washing dead body. Because of these jobs most of people didn't want to communicate with them. As I think they are discriminated.

One of the interesting point is they are outcast in the society at that time but might still outcast these days. There are also difference between Japan and Australia that how to treat about untouchable. In this figure untouchables written in tiny word but when I had a class yesterday professor wrote untouchables in part of class. It might be going far away but I think that Japanese don't want to write about untouchables so much. In fact, talking about untouchables is still taboo in Japan.  

Baku-Han system

Baku-han system is the system to conquer Daimyo by Bakufu or Shogun.

There are several type of daimyo at this time.

• Fudai or hereditary house
• Shinpan or collateral
• Tozama or outer-lords

This system was quite successful to keep the peace in Japan but also because of this system Bakufu might fall down. In the end of edo period the warrior was unnecessary and especially outer lords  was in low status. They had discontent of their treatment.

Later on they start anti-Bakufu movement but this will be another story.

However, this is it for yesterday class.It's quite a lot so I'm afraid about this subject but also it's quite interesting to do this. well, see you next time

あーつかれた。この調子で書いていけるかしら。頑張ります。
