Well it's been close to a month, and is almost certainly too late for April starts now with Visa processing, especially with the horrendous natural disaster that's hit Japan (praying for everyone there, luckily my friends were in Tokyo and are safe), but I just wanted to update that I've heard nothing back from Joytalk since my interview, so obviously nothing suitable came up for me. Oh well, since the disaster I'm thinking maybe I should try Korea or China or Vietnam, because I doubt people will be concerned with hiring right now.

I'm sorry to here about that! >_< I'm not sure whether Joytalk hires after April, I know some do, so there still be hope for something in May or June. I really hope everything works out, where ever go!

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised that this years start will be later than normal due to the impact of the quake etc
Esp as Joytalk seem to operate in the worst affected areas?

Yeah, I agree. But the training date is still the same (in two weeks) so we'll just have to see what happens.

True... We'll see what happens in a week and some change. Hopefully things will turn around.

I've been hired by Joytalk, and everything is on schedule to start next week. I'm a bit concerned given the rising levels of radiation and the proximity to the disaster (about 80 miles away).

I doubt if the BOEs will be starting schools on time in some of those places (Tohoku) but I suppose Joytalk has promised to get their staff and they have to do their end .....?

To those of you who were hired by JoyTalk this spring, were you enrolled in Shakai Hoken? I'm curious.
