Trial lesson at Royal Kids International School
After getting my spousal visa and sending out my updated resume I landed a couple of interviews.
The first one was with a company where you go to two different kindergartens everyday…needless to say I think I need a little more experience for that one.
The second one was for a kindergarten named Royal Kids International School. It is one school in the heart of Osaka with about 80 students (60 on site at any given time). Well the interview went pretty good and the owner asked me to come in for a one day trial to see if I like it and see if they like me. The trial day is today (Wednesday Mar.02)….so we'll see how it goes…my first experience with kids in Japan.
Wish me luck.

Craig gets job at Royal Kids International School
It is 9:14pm here in Osaka and I got home about 45 minutes ago. The short of it is that I got the job at Royal Kids International School.
They put me in the infant class (as I later found out everyone does the infant class on their trial day) as it is the toughest class (ages 1-2). So if you can make it in the infant class you can make it in any class.
The Owners of the School (Mr. & Mrs. Okumura) were coming for a Staff Meeting at 6:30pm and wanted to meet me. So after working the day and then shaking the owners' hands…they said I was hired. Must have been quite a hand shake.
So I start tomorrow morning 9:30 to 6:30 Monday to Friday with the odd Saturday class thrown in once in awhile.
When all is said and done it took sending out the resume to 6 schools and interviewing at 2 of them to land a job that is just what I needed.
