It'll also be faster since I wouldn't be taking like one class all day on a Saturday or something.I don't know of any outside of JET, NOVA, and AEON for teaching related stuff, although, with JET it's ALT.Oh, what I meant earlier, was that to work at ASIJ, even one participated a couple of years as a JET, it wouldn't count as "work experience" for that particular school. I actually asked. I was just wondering if other schools felt that anyone who was a JET at one point would not consider this work experience, as ASIJ doesn't consider it as legitimate educational work experience.Out of curiosity, why did you turn it down?

Check out Gaijinpot.com they have a job forum listing where you can apply for jobs. Some of them hire outside of Japan, some of them require that you be here already and have your own visa.

A school I reccomend is GEOS, it's an english teaching school across japan, they have 1 month of training in your home country, although the interviews are usually at major cities so you have to be able and willing to pay the money to go to them. Be careful though, make two grammar mistakes on your application and you get the boot. Especially after NOVA went bankrupt most english schools have too many teachers applying. A willingness if not enthusiasam to work with children will be an asset.

I looking for jobs too T_T
