Hulloo all - I'm facing a rather complicated situation: I have a dual citizenship USA/Sweden. I grew up largely in Sweden, going (mostly, but not entirely) to schools taught in English. I just finished my BA at an American college. Now I'm back in Sweden and applying to teach English at NOVA - chosen because it seemed the easiest way to be able to go and live/work in Japan together with a friend of mine (it's hard to go with someone through AEON/GEOS).
I applied to the London office, and was rejected flat out, for a reason they could not tell me due to company policy of not giving feedback on applications. My friend in the USA interviewed, and was accepted. She was able to get her office to review my application, and the response I got from them was that it looked good, but they could not accept me because I would not be able to get a Japanese work visa, as it requires 12 years of pre-college education in an English environment.
So I'm trying to figure out if there's any way around this (there must be something - what do they do if someone had a highschool year abroad?).
If anyone has any clues on how to deal with this, or any ideas about a good way to find work in Japan together with someone, I'd greatly appreciate it!
