Hi everyone,

I'm new here, but I hope that you guys can offer me some help. I am trying to find a job in Japan, specifically in Chiba-ken. I really want to go back to Japan after my trip there last year, but it seems impossible to get a job near my friend's house in Funabashi-shi. I have some basic Japanese language skills, enough to get around, but I lack any real ESL teaching experience. I just have experience helping my Japanese friends learn English. Right now I live in America and I will graduate in May with a BSBA in Business Administration. I am also working on a TEFL certification. I have some volunteer experience teaching first graders, but thats about it.

Any thoughts? Any advice? One major problem that I am going up against is that the Japanese school year starts in April, but I don't graduate until May.
