<human>: Greetings, all!

I recently graduated from college (last August) with a degree in Japanese Language and Literature. Prior to that, I had already gotten a JLPT (the Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N2 certificate (the second highest level) and had begun a "career" as a freelance translator. While I've managed to get a lot of geek cred on my resume (Phantasy Star Online 2, Saint Seiya, Ultraman, and even Gundam), freelance translation barely pays anything. I make around $10k a year, and it's not stable. I'm on food stamps and other welfare.

I also have IT experience, having worked six months with a company that was contracted out to Chrysler to help fix problems with both their network and the computer software they used to work on the internal parts of their cars. I did this in both Japanese and English, with customers around the world. So I suppose this would also count as customer service experience.

I recently had an opportunity to interview with a video game company in California (NIS America). I actually did rather well in the interview, or so the interviewer told me. I was, however, not selected as they went with someone "more entry-level" (which I read as "someone we could get away with paying the least amount of money as possible").

So now I'm basically just looking for jobs that would get me closer to the CA area where most of the big game companies are. I'm also looking for jobs in Japan teaching English (as Japan would also have a bunch of opportunities to find translation jobs). I don't particularly care what I'd be doing in the job, so long as I made enough money to pay my bills. I would also need help finding an apartment, as I don't have any friends or family in the area (do note that I said "finding" and not "paying for", I have money set aside to move). A company car wouldn't hurt (I live in MI and I don't plan on driving my car all the way there), but isn't necessary as I hear that CA's public transport is generally much better than in the rest of the country, and I don't mind huffing it or riding a bike.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
