Employment

Yesterday, I was given a provisional offer of employment. (To my understanding, the provisional part was that I had the job providing the Japanese government does not reject my Visa application). The company is Heart English School and I will be in either Mito City or Yonezawa City. They said they would get back to me on which sometime this week or early next week at the latest.

In either case, I would be in a middle school as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT). I will post again when details have been more finalized, but in short, I have found a job that will support my Visa, extending my stay in Japan beyond this November. More on this later.

  1. Good news! Update?
    Yonezawa looks like it's in the middle of nowhere, but a town of 91,000 will surely have more to do than Princeton or Granville.
    "Yonezawa is most famous for its local delicacies (apples, beef, and carp) and for being a castle town that was once home to the Uesugi clan, including the daimyƍ Uesugi Yozan." (Wikipedia)
