I applied recently to Harvard as a research assistant to the Weatherhead Center under the Program on US-Japan Relations.
While I didn't make the initial cut (and the Executive Director thanked me for taking the time to consider applying in e-mail), I suddenly found the position of Program Coordinator at the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies.
----
Duties:
Works closely with the administrative leadership to coordinate the activities of the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. Primary responsibility involves student support services. Plans and organizes student information, orientation, returnee sessions, and other student-related gatherings. Coordinates all aspects of application intake/processing, review, placement/award, budgeting and orientation for students traveling to Japan for internships, summer school, language studies, and research. Maintains all student records relating to travel abroad including release forms/waivers, and assists with record keeping and analytics. Prepares correspondence relating to student placement and programming with various units across campus and host organizations. Produces materials – print, web, social media – to promote student programs in Japan. Position also involves support to designated faculty, including calendar, correspondence, website, course materials, committees, publications, travel arrangements, and files. Position also includes event coordination and communication, including some website maintenance. Occasional frontline responsibilities. Performs other duties as required. Occasional overtime required.
Basic Qualifications
3+ years of administrative experience. Education may count towards experience.
Additional Qualifications
Bachelor's degree with a concentration in East Asian Studies or Japanese Studies strongly preferred. Excellent writing/editing skills; communication and organizational skills are essential. Working knowledge of desktop publishing skills and familiarity with computers and technology preferred. Candidates with cross-cultural experiences and/or experiences working/studying abroad a plus. Knowledge of Japan and Japanese strongly preferred.

I only have two years of admin experience since I help out with a NGO as a volunteer aside from doing research stuff. Also did a BA in Vancouver, Canada towards Political Science. I can also hit some of the additional qualifications needed.
It's a tempting job ad, but I'm not sure if I can relate to it (I would like to, at some point, do research on East Asia/Japan from an academic/institute perspective someday). I did study upper level courses based on East Asia (One course is modern Japan).
Another question is for example, I have (maybe) minimal desktop publishing skills since I have my own blog to publish my own articles on what's happening in Japan.
Would like some thoughts on whether I should give this a shot.
