Job hunting in Japan

[mishmish]

That sounds great too. Do you think I can get opportunities like that in Tokyo??

I've got a relative there (not a very close one) and my brother's friend is there, and as a 22 year old female, I thought it would be best to be near some people who I can turn to, should I really need it.

And I was hoping they could give me a place to stay whilst I am looking for a job. Do you think I can get one within a few months?

I know the school year starts April, but I'm hoping to go in mid-November to December...not sure if thats a good time to search for a job in Japan.

Thanks for your help by the way, it is very very helpful.

Just as many opportunities in Osaka as there are in Tokyo. Rent is much cheaper and quality of life better in Osaka / Kansai in my opinion.

You should stay in a gaijin house when you first arrive. You can get lots of good information and networking there too. It's always a good time to come to Japan to teach. Not a week goes by where there are no job ads for English teachers.
