Hiya,
I work at a manufacturing company in the U.S., but the location of my job is tough. Being a single dad juggling daycare and everything else makes it really challenging. I want to ask my mentor, who's Japanese and here on contract, for a recommendation. His recommendation would mean a lot to me, but it's difficult to bring up. The cultural difference is significant—it's often one company for life, or you start over at the bottom. I’m worried he’ll be upset about it. How should I approach this situation?
TLDR; How do I ask a Japanese Mentor for a job recommendation?
