Interviewing in the U.S. and Canada for Assistant Language Teacher positions in Japan
Interac Co., Ltd. is currently accepting applications for Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) positions. ALTs help native Japanese teachers teach English in public schools throughout Japan. We recruit motivated, culturally-sensitive, mature individuals.
We encourage those interested in teaching English in Japan to visit our website (https://www.interacnetwork.com/recruit/) and there learn about Interac, read our FAQs, and apply for a position. Once successful candidates pass the initial screening, we call them to do a phone screening. Upon passing the phone screening, we send an invitation with the location, date, and time of our nearest upcoming seminar where an Interac recruiter will conduct the presentation and interviews. Since we receive a large number of applications, this process can take several weeks.
Seminars will be held in the following cities for positions commencing in late March 2010.
