Hiya

If you get the TEFL (or equivalent etc) teaching qualifications, it should not matter if your from a native speaking English country or not, as long as you have the certificate to prove your fluent and can teach, then I see no problem with getting a job.

I have read though that the contracts for jobs tend to be given after a face to face interview, this is a way the Japanese schools can avoid dissapointment with you canceling due to no longer comeing to Japan etc.

Good luck and hope this info helps.
