HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I am doing a year at a time, but it feels like an ongoing thing. I don't particularly want a long term agreement as I'm not sure what I'll be thinking way ahead so I'm happy with it as it is. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Nova gets a pretty bad rap, but I guess that if you get a decent manager it's OK. Are you happy with it? Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'm here for another 2 years under my present agreement and then will go from there. I keep on putting off thinking about beyond that, but it is now fast approaching so will need to sit down and look thoughtful. Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have had good experiences at Nova, no cause for complaint at all. We're in a more local branch rather than a main city center one. I do often think Nova gets a bad rap in general. Where I work there are good teachers, good work environment - and quite a lot of good students too. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Yearly contract starting July, until now renewed in around April. Time to start talking soon as I would like to stay longer. I wish I had motivation to look around and move on within Japan, but not right now - maybe next year. Link to post Share on other sites
Snow-Woman 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I have been here for nearly 4 years so far, 3 of those in Osaka. Signed up for another 2 and a half years - I can't see myself staying longer than that though I think I will have had more than enough by then! Link to post Share on other sites

HoTRoD 2 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think there's a lot of us in that situation same here. But I am now seriously thinking about things like... the future. I had been putting it off almost for a few. Link to post Share on other sites
YellowSnow 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Seems like really a lot of us are in the same situation, I have been here for 4 years ( 2 years of study though) I was earning more pro rata when I was a model part-time. I want to find a job in Singapore or China, at least I can get some fun and spicy food also I can complain publicly, Chinese know how to complain about shitty services and bad prices. Eventually I want to start my own business in China I have some good Ideas and even some investors. But something about living here has made me doubt my abilities. Link to post Share on other sites
