Another job interview!

On Saturday I am off to Melbourne to have an interview with ALTIA CENTRAL.  I don't know why I hadn't heard of this company earlier; their website is really informative, and it's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into it.  They certainly seem to care about their ALT staff.  The recruiter who contacted me after I applied through Gaijinpot seemed really nice from the email; I could tell that they actually read my cover letter and were genuinely interested in me!
They seem to only have jobs in southern Japan, from Shizuoka to Hiroshima - this is perfect for me!  I never really wanted to live in Tokyo.  It's fun, but far too big and busy.

I'm trying my best not to get my hopes up this time (like with Gaba), but it's really hard not to!  It's time to put my best foot forward and show them that they need me in their company.

...And besides, flights booked in less than a week have cost me about $400.  I need this job!

木曽町 (Kiso-machi)

Yesterday I finally heard back from the company; they've received my COE and will be forwarding it to me so that I can send it to the embassy in Melbourne to get a visa.  What's more exciting is that they are considering sending me to Kiso-mach, Nagano prefecture.  This position will be a mix of JHS and Elementary Schools!  It's a lot more rural than I was hoping for, making job possibilities for D a bit more difficult.  However, I think it will be perfect for my Japanese. There isn't a lot of information on the area itself out there, only the tourist attractions and mountains.  Once I have a definite placement there, I suppose ALTIA will send me some information on it.
