 |
|
| What would be the best way to find a teaching job with a working holiday visa in Japan? I am Canadian and am taking a year off before finishing my Bachelors. I was told that a working holiday visa is the way to go. I have my TESOL and am currently teaching english to adult immigrants. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

You're just going to have to beat the bushes and see what comes up. Unfortunately, most companies (including mine) won't hire anyone with less than a BA or BS in hand. But, if you come over on a WHV, in a pinch you can probably cobble together enough part-time gigs to keep alive.
Having a WHV at least means the company doesn't need to sponsor your visa, which may be attractive to some employers.
Try GABA; I believe they hire WHV instructors. Or maybe some of the dispatch companies. |

Just a friendly word of advice....in my opinion, it may be better just to finish your degree. I know it probably seems like you will never finish, but you will and you will be thankful everyday that you just bit the bullet and did it. I thought about doing this and relying on my husband to pay my way...but it didnt work out and I am now SOO relieved that I have my degree and I dont have to go back to school unless I feel like it....taking time off makes you forget how to be in school...especially if you are in a foreign country....
anyways, that is just my two sense
The best time would be in the Spring, but look now for a job... |

All in fun...
