possible employment!

[SyndromeofaDown]

weee! After freakin' out and basically nearly fucking EVERYTHING up with getting employed (should have had my shit together a lot sooner but bad things and holidays are busy) I SEEM to be back on track on getting employed in Japan again! so YAY!
Talking on the phone friday afternoon and if that goes well I'll probably have to make a trip up to Canadia (Toronto) and do an in person interview there. From there, if I'm hired I'll get my visas and ship off to Japan hopefully sometime in April! YAY! things are looking good again!

So wish me luck I guess?
(even though the ping i'd get on the servers living in Japan would be absolutely horrendous. I couldn't play while I was in Korea cause of the 300~+ ping) so I probably won't be back on the servers if i do get shipped out.

(*also forgive the horrible grammar, I'm excited and will fix it when i start to teach.*)
(**also forgot to mention the job would be teaching English, of course.**)

Sounds like a pretty good job if there's an interview in Canada and the job itself is in Japan. Good luck

Good luck, Japan should have a really fast Interweb over there so maybe your ping won't suck so much.

  Yes, the internet will almost guaranteed be faster in Japan than America. HAHA! In Korea I paid 30$ a month for a connection where 60/MBs was a very very SLOW day. My average speed was between 80-90 MBs. I imagine it would be quite comparable in Japan.  And even with that, I still had that massive ping. Of course I'll still try to join if I've got time.

    I do not know exactly where I'll end up. I would like to be near the southwestern end of Japan really. If I were in Fukuoka, that would give me easy access to go to Korea via the ferry and I could visit all my friends in Korea again! Of course, Japan is a relatively tiny country so I will hopefully be able to see quite a few things and places. I'll be living there for a year, possibly more! so I hope to get to see most of the main areas and even more of the off the beaten trail places!

oh my what are you going to be doing all the way in Japan 

[mbk]

Damn Syndrome, i wish you alot of luck over there!!!!
Take care of ur self!

[exacto]

Sounds cool 

If I'm lucky I might be doing something similar next year...
We got a program going where u can go abroad to teach for 3 months.
Currently I got my hopes up for somewhere near southern africa ... since the language spoken there usually resembles dutch ...

Anyways good luck with ur interview & teach some xD

I called the lady who's organizing this thing for me and talked with her for a little today. My files are being sent to Japan with her recommendation. When I hear back from her sometimes around a week from now we'll set up the interview in Toronto and assuming that goes well I'll most likely be headed off in June. Starting out I will have 2 weeks of training in Nagoya before they decide which city to move me to! I'm pretty excited about this!

(I hope I'm not reviving a dead topic!!!! But I really didn't want to make a new one to update this. So please don't shoot me!?)

Well I'm looking for tickets to Toronto for the interview because I got offered the position in Japan! I'll be starting my training over there on April 9th! So if I do get any chance to play on the servers, I'll probably be in that super high ping club!
But....it's pretty much official, I'm gonna move to Japan!
