How I got my teaching job

Its that time of the year when Japanese schools are looking for English teachers, so now is the time to start applying. I have listed some websites I used to get you started, check em out and see what they are looking for. My advice, start with the companies that have overseas offices in your country and set up interviews and then hit up the other ones.

*Usually* you need have these requirements to get a work visa

1.College Degree
2.Native English speaker
3.nice personality
4.hard working and dependable
5.language skills a plus , but not required
6.no visible tattoos
7.passport
8.no felony

Other skills that I think are important
1.think skinned
2.tough
3.flexible
4.be prepared for the unexpected
5.self resilient
6.um have fun ( all work and no play makes a very long day)
7.

*Usually*
The monthly Salary is between 240,000 yen and 300,000yen
$2,642.01 ~ $3,297.03
Then there are the taxes, Health insurance, Transportation, Rent, Food
Etc
So depending on your situation you can have money in the bank or not

Work visas last about the same length as the contract, so no job, no visa. But there are exceptions to everything.
Just do the research, ask lots of questions to anybody who might have some info
Check out your embassy website, ask your school etc.

Hope this helps , as always im here if you have questions
Good luck , see you when you get here
Peace

  • I'm glad you kept it real in your video.

  • @asianamusement

    Good luck! They can be tough cookies... If you have a decent lesson plan and give off a lot of positive energy, you'll be able to at least get to the personal interview. Stay on your toes for that! They'll try to trip you up with certain probing questions and will listen to your responses closely. Smile, try to stay as positive as you can, energetic, and genuine... and I think you'll be fine.

  • @KingSaint jet's folding...smh

  • Is aeonet as competitive like jetprogramme? I just got selected for an interview and I'm making my decision right now. Please respond

  • yes, there are a good number of black teachers in Japan, its funny how they gave up on the idea of teaching other Black people English and so forth.

  • hey dude i want to go to japan to as an alt(or some other job) but i'm not english what i mean is that in my country english isn't a native language but i'm very good at english so i wanna know if i can be an alt?please help ,thanks. :D btw i love your channel.

  • Oh no, you did not even look for work. Well you made it some way. Funny video, can't wait for next.

  • I confused you with a teacher called Edward Clemons he is missing in Sendai
