I would say to go with your instincts on that one. IMHO, however, recruiters generally go for those teachers who exhibit classic “fish out of water” characteristics: out of college, eager, a little naive… having a master’s degree means stability and intelligence… two things they won’t always want.

First off, thank for such a thorough and helpful blog.

Secondly, I have two science degrees (BS and MS) and a lot of accolades and publications. I have read on other blogs where individuals have downplayed these things and have even not included their MS on the CV.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think this might affect my chances of employment or treatment once employed?

Wow that was really helpful!
Uhmm I’m in my second year of University right now and I’m considering applying to either JET, AEON, or GEOS? I’m probably not ambitious enough to go alone and find my own contacts…

What would you recommend?

Also if you work for Amity Aeon, the airport you fly into has a small bank where you can use travelers checks. I had no problems with my travelers checks and it is a lot easier than having a bunch of cash on you.

Actually they both still provide your ticket home. I am currently in Japan working for Amity Aeon and they have already bought my ticket home!

Hi rukia,

In fact, I worked for one of AEON’s “B” schools, not Amity. I don’t believe either of them provides a return ticket anymore, but they did at the time.

To clarify one point, you worked for Amity branch of Aeon, correct? I want to clarify this as it doesn’t seem like Aeon provides a ticket for going back home or the cash equivalent.

Anyways, I’m so glad I found your blog. This is exactly the information I’m searching for… The problems over a blog entry is quite something… and really, they should specify on the website that teachers are also janitors! Now I`ll really have to re-think if Aeon`s for me…

Thanks for your bold and brutal sharing of your experiences with Aeon! hhhmmmm.Its left me both excited about going to Japan and now doubtful if Aeon is for me for a whole year! good to have other perspectives from previous employees anyway.
cheers
