More seriously, nipjob is not a company but a "wanabee" personal site and forum about job seeking in Japan. I have just created it and the content is close to ... nothing

Actually I am looking for Japan's veteran to help me makink the forum "living" and to give their advices about their experience in Japan. I spent a lot of time looking for japan job seeking specialized site and forums, but I couldn't find much so I decided to create mine.
You might want to change that.

This is from Wikipedia:

Nip is a derogatory word for a Japanese person. It is derived from "Nippon" (mispronounced with a short "i" sound), the Japanese term for Japan. Usage in this context probably peaked around the time of World War II. It is seldom used this way today. Heard frequently on the WWII-based sitcom McHale's Navy.

I know some people find it even more offensive than "Jap". Just something to thing about.
