Teaching English in Japan episode 82: My experience with quitting ALT jobs

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

I found myself amused when I recently checked the stats for this video and saw a dislike on it. I'm thinking to myself, "So what was I supposed to do? Stick with the job and stay in the poorhouse and potentially risk not getting a contract the following year and put my family in financial jeopardy? Why? To satisfy someone who wasn't brave enough to leave a comment?" Well, whoever you are, the Comment section is here and waiting for you. 😝😝😝😝😝

Great information for the future. Thanks.

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

My pleasure!

[@clyde3769]

This was very informative. Things like this definitely happens due to mistiming of things. As they say, honesty is the best policy and key.

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

Thanks very much for the comment!

Good information for new people 👌

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

Everyone quits eventually! Lol

I'm using the Gotcha evolve (not a licensed Niantic product) and it's actually automatic. The PoGo plus requires you to press the button. The Gotcha does it all automatically, has a digital display screen, and some extra settings like turning vibration on/off, choosing to press the screen to catch if you want, not throwing balls automatically for previously uncaught Pokemon, etc.

Sounds expensive

Good News Tony Senpai I got my arrival date to Japan. April 21st is my arrival date! I am excited and nervous because it's so short notice. There are so many videos I got rewatch of yours. I still don't know my branch or placement yet but ill know soon.

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

Even if it’s short notice, you’re on your way! And in one month to boot! Most ALTs start in April and right now it seems other ALTs are getting in as we speak so I bet your company is taking advantage of slightly relaxed border restrictions while it has the chance. I’m really curious where they’re going to put you. So you don’t even know what chunk of the country yet? Meaning, have you been assigned a branch office? No matter what I’m here to help so never hesitate to ask a question! Btw, if I were to give you one homework assignment for when you get here, it’s to go to a crane game place, find a figure you like, play until you win it, and then let it be home you decorate your new closet-sized apartment!

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

Hey man, just wanted to follow up. Any idea what region you’ll be in yet? How’s your preparation going?

[@DS_JP]

@@MyRadicalKanjiWorld I am still waiting for info on my Kansai Region. Right now I am waiting on my visa I drop off my coe I'm so close to buying my ticket this week.

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

@@DS_JP Kansai is awesome! I’m really curious where they stick you out of the prefectures there. Ten more days man! You are so close! I’m so excited for you! Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly with your visa and that your plane ticket won’t cost an arm and a leg!

[@DS_JP]

@@MyRadicalKanjiWorld Hey Tony Senpai I got my visa it has been a roller coaster working and getting ready for Japan. My placement now will be Nagaizumi Shizuoka

[@antoniusfaskal_]

Ini sangat informatif bro.

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

Thank you very much!

[@mokisan]

If you dont mind, could you link the exact url for the companies which have offended the laws for alt? Would really appreciate if youcould.

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

No problem. Anytime you need to find it you can always Google the words "General Union" www.generalunion.org/

[@mokisan]

Which company did that to you? For the first company? So that i can avoid it. Thanks for the video!

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

I'll give you a hint, please check out my video "Teaching English in Japan episode 30". That video actually gives a lot of context behind my exit with the first company.

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

Thank you for the comment! Greatly appreciated!

[@mokisan]

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

@@mokisan thanks for the compliment! Greatly appreciated! Grateful for all the likes and comments!!!!!

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

ALT just isn't as good as it was 20, 30 years ago/

[@MyRadicalKanjiWorld]

Was it even really good back then? I figure companies could get away with crap even more back in those days!
