I’m applying for an ALT position with Interac and Borderlink for 2025. I have a Japanese passport and I’m already planning to move back to Japan in July with my family regardless of my job hunting situation. That being said, I was honest with the HR people, saying “I will be moving in July, but if necessary I might be able to move in April/May.” Because of my answer, they decided to put me in the domestic pool and one of them said “reach out to me again when you’re in Japan, and we’ll go from here.”I have not even done a phone interview with them.
Does anyone know what the domestic pool looks like by July? My family will be in Tokyo, so ideally I would like to get the position in Tokyo as well, though I know it would be competitive. Do you think it’ll already be filled up by then, or does being domestic give me some kind of advantage?
I speak basically fluent Japanese, but I did receive 12 years of education in the U.S. I do have a bachelors degree but don’t have a teaching experience other than being a teachers assistant in college and a tutor in high school.
