The things we want

Nov 12, 2007 21:39

Boston was a bit of a disaster....It's been a long weekend is all I can say. I'm tired of job hunting. I haven't really been doing it extremely but I guess doing it all at once isn't especially happy either ( Read more... )

yup, that's part of the plan at least! I'm applying to as much as I can until I'm certain at least. I really ought to call you some time......T_T I'm sorry!

sorry to hear that; did you apply to JET?
helen is in japan now and she said to get a job in japan, you really have to BE there first, and she worked at some crappy english school before getting hired by merrill lynch in tokyo (she doesnt speak jp, btw)
ive gone through the job hunting process 3 times now since graduation so hit me up if you have questions (we need to get together sometime anyway!). the job i just started at im really happy with.

Advice please! I'm applying to JET for sure. I've also applied to AEON but I'm not so sure how that interview went. O.o The worst part of the career forum was mostly the fact that I had to walk in heels all day and I jacked up my feet and knees the rest of the weekend....:/ Lol. Silly ne.

for JET, for some reason they're really selective.... this was confusing to me cuz when i got there, there were sooo many crap teachers who were lazy and stuff or just weird (like all the rice-chasers... eew). its even harder for people like us who are asian- they prefer white people (seriously- my friend's jp teacher is on one of the committees and admitted it to her!) it helps a lot if you have prior teaching experience, even tutoring experience, and experience with children (i'd worked at a daycare and summer camps ( ... )
