Can anyone recommend resources for finding jobs teaching English in Japan?

We Answered:

JET is closed for Spring 2010, but it might still be open for Fall 2010, and definitely for Spring 2011.

AEON is legit. It's a huge company with branches all over Japan. Try out ECC, Geos, and do a bit of searching for other "eikaiwa." Some of these places do recruiting outside of Japan.

Check gaijinpot.com for a daily updated source of jobs mainly for native English-speaking university grads. Unfortunately a lot of them require you to actually be in Japan at the time of application, but not all of them. Also check out Ohayo Sensei, who put out a bimonthly list of job ads. (You can also post your own job wanted ad for free).

The crappy eikaiwa was NOVA, but it doesn't exist anymore. However there's a new company which is basically starting it up again. It should be completely different management, but I'd still stay away from that place. I've heard too many bad things about them, and that was before they suddenly went bankrupt, leaving hundreds of people out of work, stranded in a foreign country.

Interac is a good company, where you do the same job as most JET people, minus the nice government paycheque. Still quite decent pay and to some, this kind of job is "the" English teaching job in Japan.

Right now is the hiring spree as Japanese schools start their year in April. Other companies follow suit. So don't delay. Do your searching and send out your resume today. If you wait a month it will be slim pickings. Most positions will be filled and it will be that way for months.

Are teaching English jobs easy to get in the Philippines?

We Answered:

You didn't say what nationality you are and how old you are!
The Philippines is already too crowded with teachers looking for a job and most of them are going abroad to find one. However, if you have a degree in Education, Bachelor Degree at least, then you can try your luck to find one in Thailand. They need English teachers with qualifications and your accent is real English or American accent.
For the pay, it depends on the school. You have to negotiated it over.
But I assure you, not too much to live care-free. Long hours of work, pay to live day by day. Are you ready?

Lori Said:

Do all jobs for teaching english abroad begin in the fall?

We Answered:

Most jobs come up at the beginning of the school year.

Having said that, teachers leave schools all the time so there's a chance at any time of the year and some countries have different term times. Japanese schools, for example, start in Spring, Korea hires all year round, Thailand at the beginning of the year and so on.

So you can apply when you're ready.

Do hearing people ever get jobs teaching sign language?

We Answered:

Sure. I know a few people who teach sign language but are hearing, and some who are deaf and teach sign language.

As long as you are proficient and have good knowledge of the sign language, you can teach.

Lester Said:

Does anyone know a good site that offers jobs teaching English in Japan?

We Answered:

I don't think there is any site which offers "only English teacher" job.

If you had only US citizenship, it would be difficult for you to work in Japan. But you say that you have Japanese citizenship in another question. So it's possible.

If you want to work just for a few months, it would be a part-time job. A full-time job in Japan means you have to work for years.

To find a part-time job, you can search on a site like the below.

Or you can buy Japan Times Monday edition which has job classified page.
