After filling out the questionnaire HR sent me a week ago, I finally received an email telling me that they decided not to proceed with my application. I am honestly surprised because I have 7 years of solid educational background working with children.
For context, I am American (f) and moved to Japan this April on a student visa. I finish school in March 2026, so I am currently applying for jobs starting in April.
Of course, I am not expecting to be hired just because of my experience, but I thought I would have at least been offered an interview. Today they also reposted the same jobs for next year, which makes me even more confused and begs the question: what exactly am I missing? Do these types of companies prefer prior experience working in Japanese schools?
Any insight or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
