 | Re: working holiday visa, no degree As long as you can get the working holiday visa, then many schools will look at you. Your previous teaching experience will also go a lot in your favour, so be sure to highlight this in your resume.

| Re: working holiday visa, no degree No sorry... the only schools that would hire teachers without a degree are the schools where conditions are not so favourable. Hence, that's why they would drop their standards for teachers. Schools will always try to get the best teachers, because that way they can use these faces when advertising the school and so on. If you don't have a degree, then the school cannot talk-up their school in the press.

| Re: working holiday visa, no degree If you have a spouse visa to live in Japan, then your chances are stronger. I still wouldn't get too picky though and take any job that comes to you and then you can always upgrade to better jobs later on. On your resume you should stress that you hold a spouse visa, and any teaching experience or related.
