Semon gakko work = committee work?

Hi everyone,

I need some advice on my next step for work.

I've been a part timer at several universities for 4 years now. I've published a few papers and been active in extra curricular activities. A promotion came up at my university, but unfortunately I didn't get it. The admin explained to me that everything was good education/class wise, but what held my application back was my lack of committee work experience.

I decided to shoot my shot at applying for a job at an international senmon gakko that specializes in ICT and bridging students into studying engineering at university. It seems right up my alley (ex-engineer in my home country). I'm wondering if anyone who has experience in the hiring process at university would consider fulltime work at a semonmon gakko equivalent or at least similar to having committee experience. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!
