				|  Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:59 am    Post subject: Hyogo employment |   |  
				| 
 |  
				| Hi all, I am currently in the process of applying to jobs in Japan and was hoping to get a little help. 
 While I would not turn down an offer based on location, I definitely have a preference of where to work and that would be Hyogo Prefecture.  With that said, does anyone know of schools that I could look into (any age, pre-school through high school)?  I have scoured through this forum as well as many others in search of worthwhile employment opportunities only to find a few.
 
 Thank you!

 Looks like this forum now has two "Roosters..."
 
 I have interviewed in Hyogo before. Yes, there are jobs there. I won't do your homework for you, but I will tell you that for the Kansai Region (where Hyogo is located), there are some job postings on Kansai Flea Market and Kansai Scene and Ohayo Sensei.

				| Yeah, it is tough. I met a couple men who work in Kobe but they speak Japanese and are certified and work at high schools. |  |

 Hah, if I knew you posted as much as you do I would have chosen a different name.
 
 I have not really looked at Kansai Flea Market and have not heard of Kansai Scene so thanks!

				| There seems to be a gap between the good jobs and those that don`t pay well. So, those at universities that pay well but are hard to get, but then there are jobs in eikaiwa that don`t pay well, or ALT jobs. 
 My spouse is from Osaka, so if I could get a good job in Hyogo, I would take it.

				| Hyogo is a big place but jobs are there, especially if you have experience. One of my colleagues with a master's degree finally decided to find work at universities in Kansai and he wound up applying to tons of places and got jobs at 3 of them (and others wanted to hire him). 
 As with pretty much everywhere, there's a gap between those with skills (Japanese language and teaching credentials) and those without.

				| Yes, for Kansei Gakuin publications and research are mandatory. I know since I had an interview, and was rejected. |  |

 My major is Anthropology with a minor in Ethnic Studies
 
 I worked at a summer camp for five years, that has been my only teaching related experience.
 
 I am American.
 
 22.
 
 I have never published anything.
 
 What do you mean by "desired location?"
 
 I think August to early September as to allow me to save money for start up costs.
 
 I know some people who live in Kansai and also want to live in central Japan.
