 |

I have not lined anything up as far as a job in Japan. I was not accepted into JET (which I gather from this forum is not unusual for a first-time applicant) and have only found one other offer I was interested in (I turned it down because they wanted me to sign/leave within the same month).
My question is this: What is the next hiring season, and how long would you estimate it would take me to find a reasonably secure, desirable beginner-level position? By this I mean getting paid on time, a decent class size/atmosphere, etc. |

I've noticed others on here after mentioned a surge in hiring around August for positions to start in September.
Have you checked out Interac? Otherwise, I'd keep checking on Dave's, Gaijinpot, jobsinjapan, etc.
FWIW, I can say as a JET it isn't all it is cracked up to be. ESID |

I'd say the second surge in hiring takes place for October start dates, not September. Perhaps it's regional.
Steve,
Just keep your eyes open. If you're able to move in 1-2 months' time, it would pay to continually check the boards. Don't know your current situation. Sounds like you're doing a reasonable job of filtering the less-than-likeable employers. |
