Japan often has recycling surcharges on computers, cars, cellphones, TV's etc, so that when you buy the machine, you are also buying the cost of recycling it too. Once you are sick of it, you just send it back to the maker and they recycle it.
Also most consumer electronics makers offer buy back schemes, to encourage you to update and upgrade.
This is just a smart move to get keep the Japanese massive consumerist market plugging along.
As a recruiter I'm surprised that people are so negative against us. I know there are some scumbags out there, but from the large amount of responses in post I'd guess that most of the "scumbag" recruiters are hanging out on the jobsites.
Your job is a huge part of your life - many of us spend more time in our jobs than with our families. Personally, I think that people who go about finding a wife/ husband online are inviting danger and heartbreak. Finding a job is pretty much just as an important life decision as finding a partner, so I would n't recommed going online.
If you choose to go the online way, you are inviting the same risks.
Most good recruiters also feel the same way about the jobsites - the quality of the candidates on there isn't good. Quality candidates don't use them - because they don't need to.
Finding a good recruiter isn't that difficult, once you have - build a relationship.
Ask friends and colleagues who they used - most good recruiters get most of the ir business from referalls and thus don't need to use job sites.
Look up a good firm that is local to you. I think smaller boutique firms often give better service.
When you meet with the recruiter ask the important questions.
How long have you worked with this company?
How many people have you placed in this company?
Who do you interact with in the company - a good recruiter sends the resume straight to line managers.
You should get an idea if they know what they are doing.
A good recruiter may not be able to answer technical questions correctly, but they should be able to open doors for you in to their clients.
