 |
|
| Hello guys. I'm finishing my second year in Korea this December. I'm interested in securing a job in Japan, preferably outside of Tokyo. Can anyone give me any guides on where to look for placement, IE where are the Job Boards aside from Daves ESL, I saw a few posts. That's all. I basically need a simple users guide to get me started. |

| Please use the search function. That's one of the most basic questions and has been answered a zillion times. |

Both yes and no. One should remember the search function here sometimes works well, other times works horribly. One asks for help and advice, one expects advice being more than search. One has searched and found certain information, but one would appreciate more, than one can find from indirect experience.

| Do you know how to operate the search area of this website? There are numerous threads that contain many of the most popular job sites. I came across those in my first few days of lurking here a couple months back. |

| I'm finding a few job sites here and there. But, nothing definite. As I said previously, the search function is sporadic at best. |

One should remember to ask the the Fox rather than Internet Explorer 
One should also remember that others will be more willing to offer advice if one responded simply: "I have tried the search function and have only found "xyz" so far. If you could suggest any other sites, I'd be grateful."
"One asks for help and advice, one expects advice being more than search," really isn't going to get you the help you want. |

I am in awe of this sentence's being posted on a forum for English teachers. Truly the best and the brightest teaching ESL in Asia.
Also, did you look at the post RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS called "What's my best course of action for landing a job in Japan?" Looks like a clue!
Also, seklarwia was making fun of your use of IE instead of i.e. |

Ah, then so instead of being helpful, instead you point out an error in my typing, which judging by it's rushed nature, could have been in main part because I was in a hurry, maybe? Or does insulting a person because they ask a question just come naturally to you? |

Yes, very naturally. Does mashing your keyboard and being self-righteous because you don't feel like looking through other threads and feel that your time is more valuable than others' come naturally to you? |

| I have spent a considerable amount of time recently looking for information concerning teaching in Japan as of late. But, I have not been researching information on securing a job in Japan. I am now at this stage. So, instead of attacking and belittling a person, maybe suggest a few links here or there? Yes, I know I know, personal charity is so hard, considering it takes maybe a few minutes of yours or others time, but it can SOMETIMES be rewarding. But, instead the moment I post, instead of a try here, or look there. I get a Search function that, and backslapping, instead of a bit of , oh well I used this, or I used that. Honestly guys. It's called courtesy, if someone asks me something on the Korea side, I'm nice enough to respond with something, or at least a note of encouragement. Instead, everyone so far has been, either rather brutish, or simply impish towards me. Not acceptable by any means. You should be ashamed of yourselves. |

| It might be worth getting over the childish need for 'validation and encouragement' and simply returning to the topic at hand. |

Is this also a mistake due to typing too fast? I wasn't even going to mention the IE vs. i.e. error, but you are drawing fire here.
Need job links? Geez. Not sure which of these will make it past the censors, but here goes (for the zillion and a half time)...

Some of these cover all of Japan. Some are region-specific. You didn't mention where you were interested. Some of the links are also employer-specific. Also, many of the links will overlap with ads that have been posted in more than one place.
There are far more, and they are easy to find with Internet searches, not just a search function on Dave's. |
