Gemma,
Do any other locations have this type of position available? If you don’t know, how would I find out?
Hi Lorena,
Regretfully, I don’t know the procedure for other countries. Contact the Japanese embassy or consulate in your area for more information. They might post job opportunities on their official websites. I highly suggest joining your local JET alumni chapter, too, since JETAA is in close communication with the JET Desk.
