Episode Description

Are you from India? Wishing to come to the USA for your studies? Is your dream university the University of Pittsburgh or the University of North Carolina at Charlotte? If yes, grab a pen, paper, and water, and you are all good to know everything. From researching the dream university to getting selected and beating the elephant in the room (i.e. the VISA process) to settling up - you need to know EVERYTHING because, at the end of the day, it is a foreign land with a lot of newness, loneliness, and self-dependency.

This week on Krewe of Japan Podcast... news of the Japanese borders re-opening to foreign independent-travelling tourists has everyone hyped! While this announcement of visa waivers & removal of daily caps isn't officially official just yet, all things are pointing to this being cemented soon. However, up until this point, 2022 hasn't been the easiest for people trying to get into Japan. However, it wasn't impossible! Doug sits down with special guest hosts (and friends-of-the-podcast) Rob Dyer of The Real Japan & Allan Richarz of Tokyo Confidential Podcast to discuss which visas helped them get into the country, their travels while there, and all the red tape and shocking surprises along the way!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 with Pat Chaisang
Pat landed in Vancouver from Thailand straight out of high school and English wasn't her first language. She was shy and not confident to speak to people because she was worried if she would make mistakes.<p>

Growing up in Asia, she was taught not to challenge authority. She was told not to ask too many questions, not to be too direct with people. Such an upbringing made her shy to ask for what she wanted in her job search!<p>

She teaches you how to ask professionals/hiring managers working in the industry for coffee chats which exponentially increases your chances of landing your dream job!

"CEO's tend to make time to talk to students and inspire the next generation. " says Pat so use the opportunity before you graduate :)
