Hi, I want to go to Japan during a summer and work. I'm thinking about teaching English or something alike for the summer of 2009. I don't have a BA though. I'm only 17 and will be 18 by next summer, but even though I'll be entering my senior year next year, I'm already taking college courses. I just finished a Writing and Composition class and received my four credits. I’ve tutored classmates in Spanish, English class, and Math.
I also passed the NFPT test and am waiting to turn 18 to receive my license (with this license I can train clients at a gym, although I already have trained several women and men), I'm a certified life guard, and have helped give or given swimming, karate, kickboxing, and tennis lessons. I’ve been a summer camp counselor and worked at a summer art camp as well. I’m young, but a very hard worker who strives to go the extra mile(cliché). Oh, and I do not smoke or drink either.
Is this enough or even useful to get a job in Japan. I’ve looked at the Oxford Seminars program (TESOL/TESL Teacher Training Certification Course), and am thinking of taking the course if it will help me find a good summer job. I really would like to go to Japan. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please comment. Thanks!
