DESCRIPTION

2021 is just weeks away, but are you ready? If you've been dreaming about living in Japan, this is your chance to make it happen. If you are already in Japan and have been thinking about a change of career, you won't want to miss this opportunity.

Working as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) is not just a great way to get started on that dream; it also offers something not every career path can: stability. There will always be a need for teachers in the world of public education, and ALTs play a vital role in the Japanese school curriculum. You can become an essential part of school life for the next generation, and we here at Borderlink, Inc. make it our business to help those who dream of pursuing this path.

● Opportunities for All!

If you're living overseas, now is the time to apply for an April 2021 start. We're ready to make your journey to Japan a simple and smooth one, but the window of opportunity for overseas applicants is closing very soon, so don't delay! Get the ball rolling now before this year ends and get work lined up for this spring!

If you're already in Japan and looking to stay here throughout next year, this opportunity is open to you as well, and we encourage you to apply as soon as possible to secure work for the coming months. This includes current teachers looking for a change of scenery, and students currently in Japan expecting to graduate by March 2021. Even as your studies start to wind down, you can get started on your post-graduate career in Japan today!

Although April might feel like a long way away, offers are being made now for positions across Japan. We highly encourage you to send you application in today and begin the process. We are holding interviews and weekend orientation sessions for those who are already living in Japan. Wherever you are, we're waiting to hear from you!

And if you're in Japan holding a valid working visa and looking for work starting before Spring 2021, we have some available positions that are open right now! Please don't hesitate to let us know when applying to this advertisement if you are able to start before Spring 2021!

● Pre-Arrival Support for those Overseas

After passing the interview stage, successful candidates are given continuing direction and assistance- not just during the visa application process, but with everything from pre-departure specifics to advice on general life in Japan. And this support continues over the months of preparation, so even if your first day stepping into school seems far away now, our team will help you feel like you're already on the road there.

● Who Are We Looking For?

In addition to the requirements stated at the top of this ad, successful applicants should have strong verbal and written communication skills, be in good health, and be an excellent team player. Japanese isn't required but is highly desired by many schools, so knowledge of the language or a willingness to learn is encouraged. The ability to drive in Japan is also highly sought-after and widens your range of possibilities.

● Benefits and Help with Accommodations

For those joining us from overseas, we offer extra support with arranging housing to make the process of getting settled in as streamlined as possible! Finding and renting an apartment can be one of the biggest hurdles when living abroad, but with many years of experience, we are able to make the process as simple and reasonable for you as can be! We also offer help with setting up a bank account, hassle-free visa support, and round-the-clock assistance so you can live and work comfortably!

Other benefits of being an ALT with Borderlink include year-round training (including orientation/initial training), access to teaching materials and our library of educational resources (worksheets, flashcards, etc.), free monthly consultation from veteran ALTs, a yearly calendar to help manage your schedule, paid holidays (as stipulated by the contract), possibility of contract renewal and/or advancement in the company based on performance and skills.

● Why be an ALT?

ALTs work regular school hours (usually between 8 AM to 5 PM) and enjoy free evenings, weekends and national holidays, plus school vacation periods. Overtime work is rare and you can enjoy a work-life balance that lets you grow professionally, while also having the time to explore and enjoy Japan and its culture. And when it comes to the job, if you're willing to learn and are open to new experiences, we can and want to help you! The schools and students we work with want the best, and we'll make sure you are the best!

● Apply Today!

As mentioned, the door is closing on overseas applications, so get yours in now and get on the road towards an exciting new future! Even if you're in Japan already, don't wait too long- take that first step and apply today because we are receiving position information and may have that area you've dreamed of working in!

About:

BORDERLINK, INC. was founded in 2000. It began with the desire and under the premise of building a world where children can have positive and inspiring lives. Here we are a decade or so later, with global waves in full motion, pushing full speed ahead.

We believe it is important that Japanese people interact with those outside of Japan, surpass borders, co-exist, and co-prosper on a global scale. As we have almost reached this point, we want our children to acquire the power to accept change and live optimistically in a new world. We want to be agents of change that support this transformation.

For this to happen, we must continue to adapt and develop. The boards of education, schools, and educators who hold high expectations for Borderlink and choose Borderlink, are agents of change themselves. In order for children to experience a bright future, we do not fear change. Rather, we accept it, and as true agents of change, fully devote ourselves to our work.

WHY WORK FOR US

With the increased focus the Japanese education system has placed on English during the run-up to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the need for high-quality Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) has risen. Cities want the best, and at Borderlink, we'll work to help you be the best. Whether you have prior experience in education or not, we're ready to believe in your possibility, and help you realize your potential as a teacher. Many in our management team began as ALTs or teachers themselves, and over the years accumulated the knowledge and skills to pass on to others. At Borderlink, there's always room for growth, both as individuals and as a team.

To assist that growth, we strive to provide our ALTs with as much support as possible:

● We help you get prepared to make the trip to Japan and provide sponsorship/support for Immigration/Visa matters.

● We'll get you acclimated to Japan and ready to step into the classroom with an extensive orientation for new employees.

● We provide seasonal training sessions hosted by our team of veteran trainers and even specialized 1-on-1 training when required.

● Our ever-expanding database of materials and worksheets is also made available for all our ALTs to use and adapt to best fit their classes.

● We can help with setting up bank account, finding accommodations, and offer 24/7 support for any kind of daily life issue.

Lastly, we believe in offering flexibility to our teachers and appreciate your creative input and new ideas. It is our goal to empower our ALTs to strive to be all they can be, so that their students can feel happy and confident about communicating in English. Let's achieve that goal together.

Thank you for your interest in Borderlink. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
