thanks for all the advice!

about the nova thing, i was given an interview in london in august and got the job. went through the whole process (loads of money spent doing it!!) then left for SA to say bye to my family, and only 2 weeks before we were meant to fly out they phoned and said that if i went, i might not get paid! and do i still wanna go??? idiots! but that was my experience with them, i dont think they really let their london offices know what was really going down.

i will look into ECC. problem with a lot of the smaller places, you have to be there already with a work visa. but i dont want to go over b4 i have a job cos i dont speak very good japanese yet!
the other problem is i am in SA and none of the bigger companies have interviews here (except Shane, which they do over the phone)
Has anyone worked for them??? Any info that i could use?

Thanks!
