Question:
I want to teach English in Japan, but I am over 40. In an information booklet about JET that I got from the Asian Heritage festival that was held here recently, it said that generaly they are looking for people under 40.
Is there any chance of me getting a job teaching English in Japan?
If so, can you give me any websites or resources?

I’m not quite sure how the Japanese schoolyear goes, but if there is anyplace that would accept me, I would like to start teaching next school year.
These are some details which may or may not be helpful…
Age:40
Gender:Female
I am not a teacher, but I have a Bachelor’s degree(in history), and from what I’ve read it sounds like a Bachelore’s degree in any subject works…
