Who Should Apply
Candidates with native French fluency and real exposure to Japanese as spoken in Japan will match this role. The work suits people who enjoy recording speech, studying audio, and applying written guidelines to each review. The role is less suited to anyone who has only textbook Japanese or cannot deliver spoken Japanese for recording tasks. Many applications lose points when they list language skills without proof or skip the sample audio review. A strong fit shows both languages in action and notes specific examples of pronunciation, accent, or phrasing issues they have caught before.
