Simply standing around in Japan could land you a job. Literally. Especially if you’re young, would rather not be tied down to a full time job, and have GPRS on your cell phone. Japanese youth lured by the freedom of part-time work can now turn to Otetsudai Networks for instant part-time employment wherever they are. The service whips up a mini CV illustrating skill set and job focus, and users – which now number 45,000 - take a GPRS reading. Then they just hang around and wait to be matched with potential employers. It works both ways of course. Businesses looking for immediate staffing send out a request to the Otetsudai Networks, and within minutes receive a list of possible hires available in the area, along with ratings from previous bosses, and qualifications.
 With 1,000 new users per week, this idea could have the potential to fill a very important gap not just for Japan but in the global workforce. Imagine if wherever you went you could offer your skills through the network for daily employment and eradicate the need for the current work structure?
