hi thank you for such a useful video ! i'm going to watch your others too ☺️ i think i'm going to apply for altia soon, i'm sorry if you answered this in another video, but i'm really curious how you teach in the classroom like whether you're standing the whole time or ever get to sit? i have some minor mobility issues just that standing for like an hour is really bad/impossible for me (i couldn't run around with kids either). it's fine if i can have a seat or high stool, or even use my walking stick while standing, but i'm afraid of mentioning it in the interview since they say "expect lots of walking and climbing stairs" and want really fit people. 😭 i feel like i could do so well as an alt with just some harmless provisions like sitting on a folding stool i could take with me or something..but i feel like japanese schools would find that a nuisance they'd rather not deal with you know? (my school in japan was not super accommodating about disability stuff like that) do you feel like people can mention stuff like that in the interview and they'd try to be accommodating? 😭 also (SORRYY for another question LOL) do you feel like you got placed in kindergarten/elementary bc your japanese is good? i'm N3/almost N2 and i'd prefer that to junior high school..so i'm curious if that's a major deciding factor anywayyy thank uuu if you have time to respond and have a nice day!! ☺️

Hello, thank you I'm glad if you found my video helpful :) And that you for your question! So I'm not quite sure how ALTIA would go about this situation so I can't give you a definite answer. I would be honest with whoever you are interviewing with and ALTIA will definitely be very honest with you. They won't give you the passive aggressive runaround. I feel especially in kindy and elementary, running around with the kids is considered part of the job but like I said I'm not sure. I personally do stand all class long. Writing on the board, demonstrating things, playing games, walking around to check work etc. Maybe when we do the listening portions in the textbook in classes 3rd-6th there would be chances to sit but not really in Kindy-2nd. There are also stairs but schools do have elevators so I feel like you could just use them! You might honestly have more chances to sit during classes for the upper levels (junior high/high school) since they are doing more work work and less games and activities. When it comes to how I personally got placed I specifically asked for kindy/elementary bc I thought it would be more fun and ALTIA accommodated my request. I'm not sure how helpful this was 😅 It seems you know how Japan can be when it comes to accommodating anything out of the "norm." But I think maybe with the right schools it's doable so I would definitely ask. 👍🏻

Hello Savanna, thank you for making your ALTIA videos! They have been very helpful for me as I've been going through the interview process. I was wondering how living in Okayama has been for you.

Hello! Thank you for watching my video! I'm glad if it was helpful in any way :) So it's definitely not a requirement! I just think ALTIA asks because they don't want ALTs leaving before they finish their contracts due to culture shock or homesickness etc. So as a rule people who have already lived in or visited Japan before are less likely to leave due to the above reasons! That's all! 👍🏻 Just reassure them you plan to stick out the whole year and you should be fine!

Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for alternatives to programs and schools I've seen, and while I've searched for a long time, I just recently learned of ALTIA. I had a question, though. I'm in the middle of a career switch and plan on teaching in Japan for several years, but I'm a bit timid because of my age; I'm a man over 35. However, I have a Masters in Education and a TEFL certificate. Do I have a chance with ALTIA, or do they not accept older applicants? Also, do they give raises yearly, or is it the same pay? Thank you again!

@vaninjapan

Hello Jesse! I'm glad if you found my video helpful! :) It seems with your qualifications you are most likely overqualified to work for ALTIA if anything. There are many ALTs over 35 including two whom I personally work with (in their 40s). The official age cut off from ALTIA is 60 I believe though it may be 65 ("retiring age" here in Japan). Also to answer your last question, unfortunately ALTIA does not give yearly raises. However, they do increase your end of the year bonus each year. Additionally, every now and then there are chances/openings to work higher up within the company if that's something you have interest in.

Hi, how are you doing . How long does it take Altia to respond to you after the first interview. Thank you for your videos. really a good vibe

Hello, thank you for your question! 😊 I had never taught English before but I had worked with kids in multiple different settings, coaching, summer camps, after school clubs, etc. And I minored in Japanese and had studied abroad in Japan so I could speak Japanese HOWEVER I don't want you to feel like you have to have these things! Being an ALT is largely a personality based job! They want friendly, lively applicants who enjoy working with kids and will finish their contracts. Living in a new country can be difficult and a lot of ALTs quit before the year is up. Also, a lot of placements are very rural and would be hard to navigate if you don't speak Japanese BUT there are plenty of ALTs who work for ALTIA that do not speak any Japanese some of my friends included. If you are friendly, want to work with kids, want to live in Japan/interested in Japanese culture, could handle living in Japan for at least a year away from home, and have a bachelor's degree then I think you are plenty qualified and should totally apply!

I know there are Facebook and Line groups too yes! During training with ALTIA you should be added into a few! :) For Okayama at least the nightlife was never really closed except for a couple weeks maybe. COVID is on the rise again here but I don't foresee any closures happening though everyone still wears masks and what not. As for the car yes it's only 8000円 a month plus paying for your own gas of course. ALTIA takes care of everything else. Though you're technically "not allowed to" drive it farther than 100km because the insurance only covers that range. Hope this was helpful! :)

My one vegan video got deleted from my phone and I haven't remade it yet but I can send you the list via Instagram if you'd like! When it comes to cosmetics (make up, sunscreen, conditioner, etc) I find most products use animal collagen tho 😅 so I end up buying a lot of products from iherb.

Hey what's the process like to get a work visa in Japan for native English speakers? Is it lengthy and complicated or simple? Cheers

@vaninjapan

Жыл бұрын

Hey! So if a company sponsors your visa like ALTIA does they do the application for you and you get your visa when you go through customs at the airport on arrival to Japan. It's really simple on your part. When it comes to getting a work visa when you're already in Japan I'm not sure but I've heard it can be a pain if your company doesn't sponsor your visa or make you do the application yourself. Japan does most everything by land mail/in person and in my experience at least in Okayama, there will not be someone to help you in English at the immigration office.

For your first year do you have the option of choosing your own apartment for example you footing the deposit and choosing the location? I forget if you mentioned this in another video but does Altia pay for monthly rent? and if so, would there be an option to choose a place outside the budget and pay for the remaining monthly balance? Also, I have 2 cats I will bring with me to Japan So I wonder if it is ok to opt for this. Oh! and during the interview process, does the interviewer explain or mention anything about the housing process or any rules on pets? What is it like teaching middle schoolers and high schoolers? Is it mainly grammar base? do you play any games in the classroom? I currently teach 1st~6th grade, and this year my school will be adding Kindergarten to my schedule. Lastly, What month is the time recommended to apply for Altia? and how long should we expect to hear from them after an interview? This year will be my 5th year in South Korea. Japan has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I think I'm ready to start a new chapter of my life there.

Helllo! If I'm not mistaken JET may be the only ALT dispatch company that helps cover living expenses! The apartments ALTIA set you up in are Leopalace apartments! You can ask them about it in the interview but they also go over things in training about it. They pretty much handle all of it and the rent comes straight out of your paycheck. (You do pay utilities etc tho) However I do not believe they are pet friendly. You could definitely find your own place but most Japanese apartments require you to have a Japanese person as your guarantor and moving in fees can be hefty depending on the place. ALTIA also doesn't help you find a different apartment but I'm sure they would connect you with other ALTs in the area if you wanted to ask them for help. 😅 Your supervisor also might help a bit but it's not their job so they might not..... Sorry I personally have never taught middle or high school (I requested elementary and Kindy) so I'm not sure? 🤔 It's to my knowledge that there are openings all year round bc people quit etc but since the beginning of the calendar year starts in April in Japan most people probably apply around October. (Or at least I did) ALTIA is kinda under staffed in the office I'd say so it usually takes them a while to reply. But I can't remember how long it took them in my case bc it was awhile ago. I do remember that I emailed them to ask for updates at one point!

Hello Megan! :) It's the first, English interview yes? Is your interview going to be with Graham by chance? It's pretty much a conversation, they want to know why you want to work with kids and why you're interested in Japan specifically and if you think you can handle living abroad. It's all pretty casual. Then they ask you what you think your role is as an ALT and it's pretty much modeling the English language and also being a cultural ambassador for your home country. It's less about correcting their English grammar etc. If that makes sense. They also asked me to choose 3 adjectives to describe what I considered to be a good ALT and why. Then during the Japanese interview they asked me to do a self introduction. After that they asked me similar questions about why I wanted to be a teacher and why I was interested in Japan. They also asked me what my hobbies were and if I was able to eat school lunches (which I don't so it's not a deal-breaker). Then at the very end they asked me to write my name in katakana. I hope this helped! If you have any more specific questions feel free to ask! :)

This really depends on what you prioritize! JET is connected with the Japanese government while ALTIA is a small private company. There are pros and cons to both sides! JET pays more (including the flight), gives you a raise every year, and is more prestigious so it provides way better opportunities for alumni. ALTIA on the other hand, does not pay as well offers no raises but your bonus goes up each year, however, none of your pay is prorated even during your long breaks. JET makes you come in during the summer and other breaks when essentially there is nothing to do at school while you get ALL the breaks completely off with ALTIA. JET is also way more competitive so the interview process is way more rigorous. JET is also way bigger so you do not get to choose where you would like to live while ALTIA will work with you regarding this. I also feel you get way more support from the company as a whole with ALTIA vs JET. Another thing to note is if you are in a rural prefecture, JET does not supply you with a car while ALTIA does. 🤷🏼‍♀️
