How difficult is it finding a job after taking this course?

It is not difficult finding an English teaching job after the course as English teachers are in-demand now in Japan. I found a job for a public high school and under a good company within about 1 month after finishing the course. Gaijinpot.com usually posts jobs for foreigners in Japan as well as English teaching jobs.

I think finding a position depends more on the person and whether or not they are a good fit for the job. There does seem to be a significant shortage of teachers in Japan and a resolve to increase English education. I would be optimistic if looking for a job now. Having a TESOL certification would also help. Additionally, the willingness to commit to two to three years plus would significantly help in the interview process. I used the website www.gaijinpot.com to find my position.

Hello! It’s not very difficult. As long as you take the time to socialize with your fellow peer, the instructors, and your students, they can introduce you to job opportunities. It’s all about your connections. By the time you finish the course, at the vey least, your instructors should be able to get you started off with something.

There are plenty of eikaiwa around Japan and they post their ads online. I suggest checking out resources like Gaijin Pot. It’s not at all difficult to find job postings, however being selected for the job depends on your experience and what the individual eikaiwa is looking for. The TEFL Certification definitely helps your chances. I suggest doing research on the companies you are applying for and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
