2012-09-01
hello and sorry guys I haven't made a video in a while I've been busy with stuff IRL Brown jr. etc etc but as you can see we are now on a green screen with a fancy background so I hope you enjoy this video today I have got a Brian easy request guys so this is a new thing I'm going to be doing it's a ber or bow Brian easy request and basically you guys request something you want to know you want to want me to talk about and share information and help you guys with let me know and I'll do a video on it and today I got asked about a week ago sorry I've been so slow to do this but I got asked about our teaching in japan and you know can you can I give some advice on getting a job teaching english in japan well today I'm going to answer those questions and let's start off with basically getting into Japan itself okay so if you want to teach English in Japan guys there's things there's four different ways you can do it okay the first is a working holiday now you have to be aged between 18 years old and 30 years old well at least in Australia so I don't knowingly about America and England and other countries that in Australia get a working holiday but this is the first option it's not that good you can only work a maximum set of hours every week and you get taxed twenty-five percent of your income so you basically you don't earn enough in my opinion to really enjoy yourself the second option if you come over here is the working visa now this is what I currently have the working visa guys will let you get into Japan and will let you work like an ordinary Japanese person you'll get taxed pretty low which is something like over there Samsung is the tax here is really low for income tax and so to get this visa you need an undergraduate degree or higher so master's degree or something so yeah if you have an undergraduate degree and you want to get a working visa you can you know i'll talk about that after but yet the third option guys to get into Japan is the one that is probably the most efficient if you already have a japanese wife and that's a marriage visa or permanent residency visa so if your wife is Japanese you can get in and get a permanent residency visa and then you can work just like a Japanese person Cannon as well and the last option is the fourth option and that involves you guys getting a sponsor so you basically you make a company and you sort of like sponsor your own visa now I don't know too much about this visa but it is very difficult and you do have to speak pretty good Japanese if you want to do this he also I don't know if you need an undergraduate degree but it is an option that yeah most people who come to work here to teach English and do it pretty seriously either option number two option number three so you know they then learn Japanese and you know I do know someone who has made their own english school so yeah you can do that obviously now for me my job is you know I've now this is what you're going to do when you come over to Japan guys the first thing if you want to teach English you have to get a job and to do that there are many different what they call a Kiowa which is English conversation schools now these English conversation school schools you they're basically like the starter out jobs so the pay is average it's you know it's not bad but it's obviously not the best you can get better pay if you do these jobs for a few years get a bit of experience under your belt and then obviously after that you move up to a better job so I used to work with a company called peppy kids club they'll call et Japan they're really good the working girls are really easy you can get in there you know you go to work probably I worked about four hours a day on average I probably got about three grand a month in salary but then he had to pay rent with that and so that job was you know pretty good so basically there's different companies if you want to get a job starting out there's interact don't know they're really popular there's Eddie Japan the company I worked for which is specifically teaching kids there's another one I think there's like Shane's English they're really popular at the moment there's still Nova Nova are still up and going there's a LS American language school so there's lots of different a close guys little hire foreigners now being a native English speech speaker is very important so if you're not a native English speaker then they generally tend to not you know prefer you over someone who is a native English speaker as you are teaching English which is very important so my sort of like after you've come to Japan and you've got a job teaching english to move up I think the next step you'd want to do is meet people so with me from me going from an a climate to a private contract it was about what not what I knew but who are you so my friend introduced me to this job and that easy really good job a lot better in my opinion than my' hey khlo a job sorry to my uncle that yeah you know I'm basically i had a lot better of a job now than I did before so basically to get my job I just knew someone who got me in with the job and obviously me having a few years of experience got me the job also so if I had absolutely no experience they wouldn't have hired me so that's something to remember as well now with now there is a program called the jet program this is probably the sort of i've heard good and bad about a bit in general I think it's like the best thing for a beginner is the pay is pretty good plus it's a very well it goes well on your regiment so if you work with the jet program guys you can probably get a good job after you've done years on jet so the jet program is basically for people who finish their degrees in America or Australia you know finished her undergraduate degree and you want to teach English in Japan so I don't know what much about but you can go to the jet website and get more information about that so those are guys all in all in summary if you want to teach English in Japan it's really good I do recommend it it's a lot of fun to get into Japan you I recommend having a degree or a japanese wife otherwise you will have a tough time the salary and get in by a day to day not to mention now working holidays if you've got if you've saved up a lot of money and you just want to come from working holiday for one year then yeah the web holiday is great you know if you just want to don't really care about making money this person enjoying yourself here and working all that is a good thing as well ok so in summary yeah that's what I've done and that is my advice to you guys on how to get an english teaching job here or a job teaching english here and so if you've
