Hi! I haven’t been having much luck getting a job in IT lately and I’ve started considering going back to Japan to teach English for a year.
My question is whether, aside from JET, there are programs/companies that are willing to sponsor your visa but won’t treat you horribly? Everything I’ve heard about NOVA, GABA, AEON etc. has ranged from pretty negative to alarming
I am 4 years teaching experience in total. I’ve worked with Westgate Japan before and had an okay experience, however short contacts and painfully long commute times are putting me off applying again.
I’m a simple person and only really need to earn enough money to be able to cover basic expenses, save a little and travel a little. I only want to stay a year to bring my Japanese to a better level.
Are these visa-sponsoring companies really as bad as people say? Which do you consider the lesser evil?
Thanks!
