I have lived here in the US for the past 14 years so my complexion has severely changed especially living in NYC. But I'm more interested in whether or not it would be easier to go to japan and apply for jobs there directly. Interac said their recruitment is over and i'm still waiting to hear from AEON. Aclipse is the only company that has emailed me for an initial phone interview but its for Korea. Well I'm not exactly dark skinned event hough I am filipino.

It's not impossible to get a job, but it's a lot more difficult. White, blonde, non-native English speakers from countries like Slovakia will have an easier time getting work than dark-skinned natives of the Philippines or India, even if they are totally fluent.

Interviewing for a job here on the states for a teaching position like an ALT or going to japan and trying to look for a job there immediately? I have a bachelors degree from the US but Im from the Philippines. My original plan was applly for jobs here in the US and hopefully find a job there and save up money so when I get there I'm fully prepared. Or should I just go to Japan directly and start applying for jobs there? I seem to have all the credentials on set like acredited degree from a US university and 12 years of fluent english education here in America. Any advice would be helpful Hi what would you reccomend mor?

I would like to get over there and start working ahead of that time, then come back to America for the interview if I'm called, which JET expressly permits. However, I'd like to be honest with any other potential short-term employer, let them know up front I've applied to JET, so if the time comes that I move to work for them, I can stay on good terms with that employer on the chance that their job grows on me, or I wish to come back after a term at JET. Can I find a company who will be reasonable about this? JET seems like the best way to go, but the application process lasts months.

You would probably still have some luck with conversation schools without a degree, though. I know that programs like JET and Interac require a degree, as do most jobs with public schools.
