Does anyone have any information about jobs in Fukushima? Im in Ireland at the moment and am going over on holidays for 2 weeks in June to visit my boyf- i'm hoping to find a teaching job while there for September.
I have RELSA, a degree in languages, a masters and am currently finishing a secondary school qualification.
Also, can I organise visas while there and sort something out for when I go back or do I have to sort out visas back at home?
Cheers.

Ceola, you probably dont qualify for this position in Fukushima if you dont have a PhD or publications but you could consider applying for any Part-time positions that they have, teaching one or two days a week. Masters is usually required for part time positions. This is a prefectural university so I would imagine a Masters is a minimum requirement

Fukushima is nice.

I enjoyed the time I spent around Iwaki City.

I used to ride my bike in the mountains and could see the city up against the Ocean. The people were friendly as well.

Nice place.

I don't now if you are referring specifically to Fukushima City or just the Prefecture, but there are several conversation schools in Fuku City. (AEON, NOVA, GEOS, & WinBe all have schools there). There are some other schools as well, but I don't remember the names. Fukushima City is a pretty nice place to live.
