You are living the dream. I am working on transitioning there. Carpe Diem. Thank you.

[@fabGayle]

Yaaasss! I miss the long paid holidays 😅

[@isabelashley634]

Are you an ALT for the JET program? Or do you work for a private company? I did not know if private companies let you work in public schools (I taught in South Korea and the only way you could teach in a public school was through their EPIK program which is similar to JET I believe)

[@julieinjapan_]

I work with a Dispatch company :)

[@allenlongstreet3736]

@@julieinjapan_ are you with Altia? I know they pay over vacations

[@dcharmed2]

How does one become a dispatch ALT ? I mostly see the JET program.

[@julieinjapan_]

Hi! Will do a separate video about this soon :)

[@KikiMac-dy3xn]

Good day, I hope you are well? I am interested in teaching English in Japan. I am from South Africa. How do I go about doing an extensive course and getting the necessary certifications?

[@julieinjapan_]

Hi, sorry, i dont know the qualifications if ure from SA.

[@igiegbo.wale.farati]

Hi, nice video. Is there any kind of gratuity or payment after years of service in japan as an ALT?

[@julieinjapan_]

Thank you! For your question, I don’t know the answer, sorry!

[@ess.wandering]

nice video, during the holidays do you get an entire month's salary?

[@julieinjapan_]

Yes! If we stay in Japan :) but if I visit my home country, I’ll have to file “paid leaves” ☺️ Thank you!

[@rachelprice6671]

Hi which company do you work for ? I enjoyed watching your video

[@ateez._.mother]

is the salary of an english teacher good ?

[@maithilynath]

Hi ma'am I'm form India and want primary section teaching English, so what certificate I need. And what is the easy way to travel japan

[@maithilynath]

And how to become ALT

[@emmaems417]

Hi MAAM ..May I know what cmpany you are working here?

[@taffyboyish]

Hi teach! Hmmm do you plan on staying long term as a dispatch ALT? Or do you have plans on applying as a direct hire? Also based from your experiences so far…do you think is it possible to bring pets while working with your dispatch? (I am willing to find a pet friendly apartment myself) hehe. Been reading so many (bad) things about int*r*c and it’s soooo overwhelming 😢 i just recently received my placement soooo I am really looking for helpful advice. Thank you so much for your videos it’s really helpful 🤍

[@julieinjapan_]

Hi! I stayed with Interac because my schedule and schools were nice. They have pros and cons but more cons for me. If there’s better opportunities, I’d think about it. Idk about pets stuff, sorry! Interac can be a good way for u to start life here and after a year if u dont like them, find another one. I’m with them for almost 5 years. :) Really depends on what ure looking for and what makes u happy while ure in Japan or what ur goals are. I’m in PH now for 3 weeks and I’m paid while enjoying life here but ofc I used my paid leaves for some days :)

[@taffyboyish]

@@julieinjapan_ Thankyou so much for your reply Miss Julie! I am glad you are enjoying your time in Japan and that you are already in your 5th year! I will keep this in mind 😊 Also miss Julie last question if you don’t mind is it true (based from what i’ve read in glassdoor) that interac can just NOT renew you and won’t give you a notice? Like 2 wks before ur contract ends that’s when they tell you na oh we won’t renew you bla bla. Or I can stay with them for as long as I want… yun kasi yung kinakatakot ko 😅 parang it happens daw with interac huhuhu.

[@julieinjapan_]

@@taffyboyish yeah I have friends who were able to experience that. That’s true. But ok lang madami other companies and if u have exp with interac madami pwede kumuha sayo. Thats why dapat mag upskill ka din at apply2 sa iba pag ayaw mo sa Interac, improve ur Jap Language din. Pero pag tinanggal ka with short notice meron ding system ang japan na magsusuport while unemployed :) madami naman jobs here. Di ka mawawalan kapag always ka din naghahanap.

[@taffyboyish]

@@julieinjapan_ thank you so much again Miss Julie! So it really happens talaga. 🥺Nakakatakot pero I really need to be prepared. I really hope things will be ok for me. And again thank you sa mga videos mo suppoper helpful 😊🙏🏼 looking forward for moreee

[@nathanafi]

Hey Julie, wondering if you had a bachelor's degree before you got the ALT job? I am from Canada, and everything I see everywhere says I need a bachelor's degree to teach english in japan...also wondering what school and part of japan you worked in? :)

[@julieinjapan_]

Hi! Yup, I have a Bachelor’s Degree and most schools/companies need that for them to qualify you. I’m in Central Tokyo. :)

[@hasa5477]

Is that okay to tach English if English not my mother language?

[@julieinjapan_]

Hi! If you have all the job qualifications + you can teach English well, you’ll be fine.

[@jonathansakura]

What company is this? Interac or another one?

[@julieinjapan_]

Hi! Interac :)

[@vivian2480]

by contract po ba? is it possible na u can stay for as long as u want basta hired ka ng isang school?

[@julieinjapan_]

I renew my contract each year. Yup, you can stay as long as you wanna stay :)

Hello! Sorry, no.

[@julieinjapan_]

Finish your four year degree (I wonder if it’s an Education-related degree) and get an English teaching experience.

[@SVTDkTinyGF]

Its not an education related degree po ie, i thought po pwede ang any 4 year course?, yes po its my plan to be a english tutor online for the experience, what do you think po?

[@julieinjapan_]

@@SVTDkTinyGF what’s your degree program?
