haha I think (as you probably saw) that as a local hire you can only apply to a few schools and would only be considered for those schools in all likelihood. Since you are willing to go anywhere in Japan, it seems to make more sense to go World wide with Japan as your only target country.

They may or may not question it at some point, but it sh...See More

SocialStudiesLivinginJapan HAHA, thank you so much for all of your help. If I ever get to meet you in person at one of the openings in Japan, I will certainly treat you and yours to a delicious dinner. I will be moving with my wife, and all of this information has been a big help to getting to the next step.
