Update (for others looking at this who might be interested in timescales between general employment offers and placement offers) – I recently got my placement offer, which was 2 months after I received the general offer of employment. The start date is in roughly 4 months.
Hi
So I recently received a general employment offer from ECC Japan.
I wondered whether anyone had any experience of how long it takes for the placement offer to come through (i.e. start date and general district – I know they don't confirm actual schools until you've done your training). I'm a bit concerned by the fact the offer states my most likely start date will be in the November to March window. I'm fully flexible in terms of which of the 3 districts I want to work in, so there shouldn't be any issues with that, but I was wondering whether I could still find myself waiting for a placement for several months.
TIA
