Hi,


Thursday I had my second interview with AEON. The said they inform you either by calling or email within ten days. Now it's just dealing with the suspense.

Wish me luck.

Best of luck to you.

Provided that you didn't act like a complete tool in your second interview I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. By far the most weeding is done after the group interview. Of the 8 people in my group session, only 3 of us were asked back. Of course, the more open you are about location etc is always a good thing but I found them to be very accommodating. I requested no kids classes in a medium sized metropolitan city and that's exactly what I got.

In case you're wondering, I had my second interview on a Thursday as well and I got the phone call the following Wednesday.

Well congrats on getting through the interviews
I was told by a former employee that if your recruiter contacts your references it's a really good sign. I had my second interview on a Wednesday, my recruiter called my refs on the Thursday and I got the official job offer on the Tuesday. It took a little longer to get a placement as I had to wait for my convocation day, but I got essentially what I had preferred location wise. I had asked for somewhere somewhat northern, in a small to medium town at an A school. I got everything but the northern locale. I'm going to Fukushima-shi in November. From what I've heard from other teachers with Aeon, as long as you don't specifically ask for a certain city they usually try to get as close to what your preferences state (it can take a long time to get a placement in a specific town).
Congrats again and I hope you get the job. The waiting game can be killer, believe me, I've been waiting for a month now since I accepted a placement and I still have 3 months to go before I leave.
