I am currently working for a fitness magazine company in Tokyo for one year. At the same time I am a university student majoring business. Here is the story how I started working at my company.
My university posted on fb about my course because it was newly established. I send friend's requests to the people who liked the post. Then, there was one person who was a executive level of a large company operating fitness clubs in Japan. I continued sending friend's requests to his friends especially someone in fitness industry. There was one president who would became my boss.
Me and the president (my current company) were a friend on fb for a little while. It was about one year and a half year ago and I was running one website which was introducing fitness related knowledge mainly translating from several U.S. web sources into Japanese. One day, I posted on fb that "Oh there is a similar website in Japan as well!". Then it was the website which his company was running and he asked me to work there. For the first half year, I was mainly doing translation and business research using my English skill. About a half year ago, my boss asked me whether there is a thing I want to do. I had one idea and that was "Gym In Japan".
I overcame overeating (more like bulimia). Because I gained too much weight, I felt so ashamed of working for a fitness magazine company. I will talk about this story next time!
