It is a side-gig. Check Ohayo Sensei and JALT Jobs. They post openings there. You can also check their website. https://www.eiken.or.jp/eiken/en/faq/
They don’t often have openings.
Bookmarked. This’ll be useful
I live in the Kanagawa area with 6 years of Eiken teaching experience in case anyone is looking for someone to refer.
You used to have to be recommended
You typically have to be tapped by someone who’s already an examiner. Most of the people I do it with are native Japanese speakers. Like 20 native Japanese speakers to 2-3 native English speakers. It’s more important that your Japanese is on point than your English; even though instructions are given in English too, all interactions with the staff and directions on where to go will be in Japanese. They don’t slack on their business keigo either.
With that being said, if you do it once you’ll get over any hurdles that you might’ve run into. The hardest part is becoming one….and whatever visa issues may arise from it.
If you mean only being a proctor then usually it’s by recommendation.
There are full time positions at EIKEN, usually those are different from being a proctor, but those are very rare.
First rule of fight club is that you can’t talk about fight club..
