However, when I switched it to local settings it only let me choose a handful of schools in a small region of Japan. It is a catch twenty-two type situation. Local applicants seem to get preference, but you can only check off a few schools in one region of Japan. This leaves you ineligible for other openings in the country. If I stay on the worldwide setting, I suppose that I am put into a larger pool of people, BUT I am able to throw for every school in Japan. Does anyone have any advice on what is the best option? I really want to maximize my chances this year.

Hey RJ, I am not worried about having to pay for my own rent, or receiving RAT. I pay for my own rent now, and I have been living in Japan for 10 years. Rent is cheap here. I can rent a house for 1,000 dollars in certain areas outside of bases. This is nothing compared to where I am from on the East Coast. My problem is the range of the "local hire...See More

I understand. Maybe try applying for schools at larger bases, if you area is narrow. Keep in mind that as a local hire, you are competing against military spouses who may use spousal preference. The good news is, that souses can only use SP for one job per your, so not everyone can use theirs.
Good luck!
Good luck!
