I was on the JR train heading home a few nights ago when a Japanese man started talking to me in English. He was asking about who I worked for and my qualifications. He then handed me his business card: OWLS in Kokura near Kitakyushu. He said I should stop by their office and check them out. So, what's the deal with these guys? How do their salaries stack up to others? The usual questions and your replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

I know a few people working for them. Usual Y250,000 a month I believe. One friend of mine said they will try to stiff you on your apartment rent, however another friend who works for them has a good deal on his apt., but I'm not sure if he arranged it thru Owls.
The work is 8.30 to 4.30 or 5 I believe, and you work mostly in sho gakko as an ALT with an Owls-employed JTE. Very easy teaching by all accounts, but they have just started a new rule whereby foreigners are not allowed to speak any Japanese to students in school, which might be frustrating...
You used to work in Fukuoka city as a JET, didn't you? Back in Japan then? |
