Why ALT Recruiters Ghost You In Japan & The BEST Time to Apply (The Truth No One Tells You)

In today’s vlog, I break down one of the biggest frustrations ALT applicants face: getting ghosted by recruitment companies in Japan. If you’ve ever applied to become an Assistant Language Teacher and suddenly stopped hearing back, this video explains exactly why it happens — and when you should apply to avoid it.

I cover:

-Why ALT recruiters ghost applicants
-What BOEs (Boards of Education) are and how they control hiring
-How hiring cycles affect your chances
-Why companies may stop responding after interviews
-The best time to apply, based on my experience
-How to use AI tools to improve your resume and cover letter before applying
-Plus, I take you through a slice of daily life in Japan:
-A quick stop at a convenience store
-Speaking with kids in Japanese
-Visiting a dog socialization center
-Exploring a children’s park

If you’re planning to become an ALT, move to Japan, or want to understand the hiring process better, this video will give you clarity and confidence.
