I haven’t gotten much from googling on my own, so I’d like some help from y’all here.
I graduate from college this semester, I plan on applying to JET again in October and do that for a year or two just for the cultural and linguistic exposure. As of writing this, I’m at a 6/9 (intermediate high) according to the results of my STAMP exam. I’m hoping to study for the JLPT N3 and take that before the year is out.
Now for my question: What exactly can I do career-wise? All I’ve been told is that Eikawa is shit and ALT experience is useless, teaching sounds like something I would enjoy, but I lack any job experience outside retail jobs so I’m confused on how to properly gain the qualifications needed for… anything outside of fluency.
TL:DR- Taking N3, intermediate Japanese, want to do JET but am confused on how to jumpstart a career in teaching. (I’ve seen that I need a TEFL and need to become a licensed teacher in my country, but every site says something different)
