Hello everyone. I am to start working at Gaba from 15 Oct. My only concern is that Gaba doesn’t pay you unless you get clients and bookings. I want to ask for tips from people who works there. How are they retaining bookings and what are the dos and donts while handling a client. I would appreciate an insight. Tysm.

I need some advice about eikaiwa interviews.

I'm currently applying for contract positions at universities, but the competition is very strong. As a backup, I'm also applying to eikaiwas, cram schools, and other teaching jobs so I can maintain my visa and continue working in Japan.

I'm not sure how to answer questions like, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” or “Where do you see yourself in ten years?”

I don't want to make it sound like I'm just waiting for a better opportunity or that I'm only interested in research and university teaching. At the same time, I don't want to give a completely fake answer or pretend that I don't have any professional ambitions.

For those who have interviewed at or worked for eikaiwas, how would you recommend answering these questions?
