Finding A Teaching Job In Japan
There’s more to working in Japan than just teaching English. Though, to be honest, not that much more if you don’t speak Japanese. Our initial short list for today’s Friday three did include a couple of sites good for other ways to work in Japan but we’ll follow these up another day and instead focus today on good sites for finding teaching jobs in Japan.
Gaijinpot
When we first encountered Gaijinpot well over a decade ago it was an interesting free newsletter with perhaps half a dozen vacancies across Japan advertised in each issue. My, how they’ve grown. Since its founding by skint foreigners unable to find much in the way of information for working in Japan, Gaijinpot has been bought up by the Fuji Media group and become part of the English language media establishment in Japan. 300,000 people monthly use the site for information on living in Japan, to find jobs or arrange a place to live.

The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme
Finally sporting a semi coherent website, this is Japan’s official programme for hiring English language classroom assistants, and a great way for foreigners to find work in the country. Most of the thousand participants who take part in the scheme each year end up in a classroom in one of Japan’s public schools, but work assisting local government offices in international exchange activities is possible for those with functional Japanese. A handful of sports professionals are also taken on. Applications for 2023 will open in September 2022.
Find out more by plodding through http://jetprogramme.org/en/ or visit the, better, US, Canadian, UK or other official regional websites.
O-Hayo Sensei
I like the simple newsletter format of this twice monthly publication. O-Hayo Sensei has been serving its English teaching readership in this way for decades. To get a free copy of the latest issue containing 80+ vacancies, all you need to do is email ‘get issue’ to their email address and the latest copy will appear in your inbox within hours. Alternatively, just pick up the current edition on the website.
