Hello everyone!
I've decided to apply for the CIR positions next year (I'm from Germany) 🙂 Fortunately, I have an acquaintance who is currently a CIR in Tochigi, but obviously the placements and responsibilities are very diverse. Most experiences I can find online are written by ALTs, so I would love to hear from more CIRs!
Feel free to tell me the most random stuff: What was fun? What wasn't? Maybe something you would have done different in hindsight or weren't expecting at all.
I currently hold N2 and I'm aiming for N1 by the end of the year – Did you feel that N2 was enough? I can hold conversations on lots of different topics and even write simple business e-mails with correct usage of keigo. Hence, I guess I should be fine, but obviously I haven't been a CIR before.
Looking forward to hearing your stories 🙂
