The Questions to ask every School

 

Some schools will do a phone  interview, but most will want a face to face interview, so be prepared for travel.  These interviews are often just as much informational meetings as traditional interviews.  The decision to live and work in Japan is not one to be made lightly, so be aware some companies almost try to scare you away.  They are just making sure that you are committed and have thought the experience through.

 

During an interview, always be professional, meaning dress for success.  Men should wear a suit and tie while women wear business attire like a business suit with slakes or a conservative suit.  Remember, Japanese are conservative by nature, so do not do anything to flashy or crazy.

 

Before you interview, review your grammar and spelling, for many school will present you with English grammar and spelling test during the interview process.  Be prepared, use the below web sites before you walk into that interview since most of us can not remember the difference between the present continuous and past perfect progressive verb tenses.  Some of these interview tests will be more than spelling and grammar.  The test may include questions about world capitals and word definitions.  

 

Many private schools will also want you to create a sample lesson plan, which you may have to present to a small group of fellow interviewees.  Do not be alarmed or intimidated by presenting, since most people who interview have no experience with teaching, just relax have fun and smile.
