				| I'm curious to know how all of you -whom are teaching English in Japan- came about your jobs. (internet, first hand experience, through a company...etc...) 
 Thanks in advance

				| My job in Japan was from an old job notice on my college bulletin board.  The posting was 6 months old, but they were looking for someone the next year. My first overseas teaching job was in Korea from a newspaper ad.

				| My school in Tokyo started recruiting from the college where I got a MA in 1998. I found out that they were looking for a teacher at their junior high division in 2000. I applied and got the job. In 2001 I was able to transfer to the high school division since one teacher there decided to resign. |  |

				| I first saw my job posted on tefl.com, and soon after that I saw it listed in my grad school's job bulletin. An alumna of my grad school had just finished her contract at my current job. (Coincidentally, I not only got the same job, but I am also living in her old house!)
