A fun way to try to get a job in Japan...let's see if it works.

1) Google search for "Jobs in Japan"


2) Stumble upon this page: http://www.jobsinjapan.com/


3) Click on Teaching.


4) Come across this listing, the appeal of which stands head and shoulders above the rest:

Knock Knock English in Setagaya seeks a native speaker who LOVES teaching and creating materials for kids. Teach 4 days/week, 20 hours maximum, with one day for lesson planning/creative pursuits. Special talents (music/design/web) a plus. Full-time from 8/28. E-mail devon(&')knockknockenglish.com for more info (posted 06/20/06)

5) Send Devon an e-mail, asking for more details about the position.

6) Send him a resume. He responds by saying that he plans to interview people who are in Tokyo first, since he generally hires locally.


7) Ask him if he'd be willing to e-mail me some of the questions he plans to ask the people in Tokyo. Set up brilliant "Jeremy Should Work for Knock Knock English" webpage with video interview and other goodies.


8) Cross fingers.
