It may be an oversight but some programs have an upper age limit worth mentioning. You seem pretty young, but this came across my feed and I'm way above your age group. Hope this point helps older viewers
Thank you so much for this info. It has helped me a lot. I have an interview as result of the info here. Next week I have another interview. First one I passed and got the offer.
Yooh this journey is hectic...ive been applying none stop (teachaway,teachersrecords,teachingnomad,teachinghorozons) no offer since mid February.i was really losing hope, but your video really helped. Now im feeling better sinxe you mentioned it take time. Inkosi ibenawe ❤

Hello, I hope you’re doing well. I have an upcoming interview with Borderlink and would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to prepare effectively. Additionally, could you provide insights into what to expect for the progos English language test? Specifically, I’d like advice on core areas to focus on and how best to prepare for both the interview and the test. Thank you in advance for your support!
The interview questions are pretty standard. I got them from Reddit. I have never heard of progos I’m not sure what that is…. Talk about your strong points, experience in teaching and that you can adapt to a new environment easily.
Thank you for taking time to make this comprehensive video , like on gaijipots there are some schools recruiting directly; is it advisable to go for this options or going through recruiters. The police clearance must it be address directly to employer in Japan or addressed generally so it can be multipurpose in case of switching employment in the future.
If they are offering a job directly then do it that way, it’s much better. The police clearance you can just say to apply for a job on the form they don’t really need to know specifics. And then you can send the school a certified copy don’t send the original/send the pdf certified one to them.
@@ZuriAfrica Truly. You have done so much research, and made it all visible to us, so we can easily follow your exact steps without confusion. Perfect!
Thank you ❤️ You can get it from your MyAdmin on myUnisa and no it’s not different I think. As long as it outlines all the modules you did and what they are about and your results. Mine was 8 pages or so…
Thank you 😊 🙏 One last question, heard you say with jet programme there's no need to take the documents to dirco. Does that mean you just make copies of your documents and the application without authentication of the degree ?
Hi Zuri, Please do recruiters or employers expect an international applicant to have Japanese language knowledge as a requirement for employment? If so how can one get an online lesson for basic Japanese language?
@vickieadez2333 I think they will need your actual degree unless you can give an exact date when you will receive it and send it to them bc they need a copy.
What are teachers doing with their homes, cars, and valuables when they accept a job overseas for years at a time? How secure are overseas jobs? That's a long way to travel when you don't really know what's going to happen to you when you arrive. How loyal are they going to be to you? There is so much at stake when one travels across the globe, so those unknowns become paramount.
Well people move here either for a few years and put their things in storage or leave it with family OR people actually move aboard and never go back home, this becomes their home which has been the case with so many people I’ve interacted with. It’s up to you what your plans are.
People move for better opportunities all the time. Valid questions but in reality- it's not that hard to figure things out once you decide that where you want to go is much better than where you are
Hey Zuri. I wanted to ask if it's possible to apply with an academic transcript in the case where you don't have your degree because you still owe your varsity fees
For the JET program you can but you need to submit your degree at the interview, will you have it by then? For private school I’m not sure if you can but you can always try
Hi I have Bachelor's Degree but I don't have the certificate since I still owe the school, Is providing academics records count or they want original certificate?
Hie thank you very much for the information u really help a lot on educating us on how we can get JET jobs we really appreciate you. Can an individual with asthma be granted a visa ,, or what are the limiting medical issues that can hinder one from getting a visa???
Hi Zuri, hope you are doing well. With regards to JET, do we use the original criminal record or I can photocopy the original and have 1 in colour and the others in Black and White? I’m applying for different programmes and I would like to use the same criminal record. Q2. When taking your PCC to Dirco or court, do they put stamps on the original paper or they do copies? I don’t know if I’m making sense. Please assist
On the JET program website there is a list of documents they want from you and they say if they want a copy or not please refer to that list as I don’t remember. Q2: I don’t know anything about that as we didn’t have to do it for JET
Hello Zuri, please at one point can one do medicals and what type of medicals are required? Do we send CV for application before we are ask to submit other documents like medicals and police clearance? Thank you
With a medical health check up that depends on the company they will tell you what they want you to get done. And yes you need to create a CV on those websites first and one in a pdf document that will be ready to be sent to the teaching company upon request. Those other documents like you degree, police clearance are requested after they accept you for a job.
My second question. Regarding my school transcripts i already have it. I intend go through a recruiter too will i send the soft copies to the recruiter via email or the school send it to the recruiter.
Hi zuri. Im a new sub to your channel. Quick question i hear theres an age limit of 40 yrs for english teaching jobs for foreigners. How true is this ?
Do I bring my hard copies of my certificates to Japan?. I have a cousin who did her Bachelor's degree in education in South Africa but she is of Swaziland nationality so who verifies her certificates and how? Is it SA, Japan or Swaziland?
You send PDFs of these documents, please don’t give anyone your true hard certificate. You don’t have to verify anything send a copy of what they want you to send. And that’s that. I came with my actual degree to Japan too just to have it with me just in case I want to apply for a new job or something.
Ma kindly highlights on the reference letter. I graduated since 2017 I'm not in touch with my Bachelor lecturers. Where else can i get a reference letters.
i applied and was contacted by Borderlink company. i passed the screening and was given a documents to fill online after which if i pass, my interview. Is the company legit
Hello @benadinemabel7124 first I would like to congratulate you for getting an offer. May I please get some assistance about borderlink since they contact you wanna know which year or month is your offer if you don't mind
@@nonsikelelomahlalelo5859 if i had pass, i would have started Next year March. and there isnt much to know. when you apply, they send you a document with questions to fill.
They take advanced diplomas too. So if you have that then you can apply. Also on the JET website there is an email attached of a person that can help you with that. Send them an email to just confirm if you can apply with the type of qualification you have before you spend money for no reason.
I’m genuinely not sure if they have an age restriction or not I’ve never looked into that because it didn’t apply to me. But there are some teachers who are 50+ so I’m not too sure. Please do research and see what they say
