OUR CONVERSATION WITH AKIKO ABOUT LIVING ABROAD

Michael Machida Career Search Consultant Tokyo, Japan

Michael: Hey Akiko, did you see the new report from HR about how our company’s been helping job hunters lately?

Akiko: Oh yeah, I saw something about that! But I didn’t read the whole thing yet, haha… too many charts! What’s it saying exactly?

Michael: Basically, it’s saying we’ve gone global—like really global. We’re helping people not just find jobs but actually relocate with full visa sponsorship.

Akiko: Whoa, that’s amazing. You mean like… Americans moving overseas and people from other countries coming here?

Michael: Exactly. So, if someone in the U.S. wants to work in, say, Spain, or if someone from India wants to move to Canada, we can help with the whole thing—job match, visa, relocation, housing, even a welcome dinner.

Akiko: (laughs) A welcome dinner? That’s cute. Do we cook too?

Michael: Hah, no, we just pay for it. I don’t think anyone wants my cooking involved.

Akiko: Oh, come on, Michael. You told me you can make chili!

Michael: Yeah, but that was one time… and the fire alarm went off.

Akiko: (laughing) Okay, okay. So, where exactly can people move with our help?

Michael: Glad you asked! We’ve got 60 countries on the active list right now. Ready?

Akiko: I’ll try to keep up.

Michael: All right, here we go—deep breath—
The United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, and Romania. Whew!

Akiko: Wow! You really said all sixty. I was counting. I’m impressed you didn’t pass out halfway.

Michael: (laughs) I practiced. HR made me read it out loud yesterday in the team call. I think they were testing my lung capacity.

Akiko: (giggling) So basically, no matter where someone is or where they want to go, we’ve got it covered.

Michael: Exactly. That’s what’s so cool. It’s not just for Americans. It’s for anyone who wants a new start somewhere else.

Akiko: And full visa sponsorship, right? That’s huge. People always worry about the paperwork.

Michael: Yeah, we handle that too. We’ve got partnerships with embassies, legal advisors, and even relocation specialists. It’s kind of wild how fast it’s grown.

Akiko: I remember when we only worked with three countries—Japan, Canada, and the U.S.!

Michael: Right! And now we’ve got job openings for engineers in Finland, teachers in Thailand, designers in Italy, nurses in Australia, and even baristas in Portugal.

Akiko: I love that! People can literally live their dream anywhere now.

Michael: Yeah, and it’s not just about work. We’re helping people build a life—new friends, new culture, new experiences.

Akiko: You sound like a travel commercial.

Michael: (laughs) Hey, maybe I missed my calling! “Come work abroad—brought to you by Michael’s Moving Madness.”

Akiko: (laughs) Oh my gosh, that’s terrible. But seriously, this is life-changing for people.

Michael: Yeah. I talked to this guy from Texas last week—he’s moving to Denmark to work in renewable energy. He said he’d never even left the U.S. before, but now he’s got a full job, apartment, and visa approved in under two months.

Akiko: That’s awesome. I bet he’s so excited.

Michael: He is. And we just helped a woman from the Philippines move to Canada as a project manager. She said she cried when she got the offer letter.

Akiko: I love hearing stories like that. It makes what we do so meaningful.

Michael: Totally. It’s more than just business—it’s building bridges.

Akiko: Yeah… real human bridges. Not the concrete kind.

Michael: (laughs) Exactly. Although, hey, if we ever start building those too, I’m in.

Akiko: (laughing) Deal. So what’s next for us?

Michael: Keep spreading the word. I mean, if anyone’s dreaming about working abroad or hiring globally, we’re here to make it happen.

Akiko: Then let’s say it loud—

Both: Wherever you dream to work, we’ll help you get there—visa, job, and a new life included!

Michael: So, to anyone listening or reading this—don’t wait. Reach out today, tell us where you want to go, and we’ll help you start your next chapter.

Akiko: Yep! And maybe we’ll even join you for that welcome dinner.

Michael: As long as I don’t have to cook! (laughs)

Akiko: (laughing) Deal!
