I applied online. I interviewed at ECC Japan (London, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
They will give you a call and invite you to a recruitment day. This took up a whole day with a presentation about ECC followed by a grammar test and demo lessons. The recruiters were kind and answered any questions we had about the company, the job and moving to Japan. I enjoyed the experience but it was a long and tiring day.
I interviewed in country with a few others. Had to do a one-on-one interview with the HR staff, and then some lesson demos. HR staff were supportive and encouraging, rather than critical.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ECC Japan (Washington, DC) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process was quite extensive, but understandable as they're recruiting abroad. You must fund your own way to a day-long interview at an urban hub in your region. The interviewers were very kind though, you learn a lot and can have all your questions about the company answered. It included an english exam as well as a kids lesson demo.
