Hello:

I got this email from one school. Do you think they are sort of interested in me? I'm actually not in Japan but I can go there anytime. Or is this their own way of saying -- Sorry, we can't take you because you're not in Japan.

What do you think?

Dear XXX

Thank you for your resume. Please contact us again when
you come to Japan.

Sincerely yours,

XXX

I personally wouldnt follow that up further. The implied bit in their reply is "and have a valid visa". Which means you can't simply fly in and get the job.

I suspect the number of people who can afford to fly internationally for a job interview is rather small. If the school doesn't realise this, I'd expect more serioous problems than that to arise in any working relationship.

Yeah a good job here usually equals good support and communication as opposed to salary and benefits. Especially for conversation schools.This school's reply was so short and sweet (NOT) that I wouldn't even give them the time of day.
