Yeah, I had an offer for an Aeon interview that I turned down because I need the job now, not in April. They're gonna tell you it's for an April start unless a strange twist of fate occurs.

The only time you'll get in any other time is if you're already in the country and something opens up, and you happen to grab it. But for those you need to already have a visa because they'll want someone to start immediately. A pain, I know.

The other option would be small, independent eikaiwa schools who usually have openings whenever they happen to have them. It all depends on when teachers leave, which is usually pretty random.

If you're not ACTUALLY pressed for time, and you don't want to be anywhere SPECIFIC (read: urban), I'd say sit tight and do the JET, Aeon, and Interac interviews. Seriously, do all of them.
