CONTACTING AN ENGLISH SCHOOL BY PHONE When you call Japan from the US,
dial 011 (the international code), 81 (the country code for Japan),
the city code without the first "0" (for instance Tokyo's code is
"03", so you'd just dial "3"), and then the local phone number. If
you've got a touch tone phone, end dialing with the "#" key -- it
seems to connect you quicker. Unless you're comfortable speaking
Japanese on the phone, don't try it (a simple "moshi moshi" can get
you in trouble fast). But don't worry -- you're calling an English
school, someone there must speak it! Just be patient, and apologize
frequently.

CONTACTING AN ENGLISH SCHOOL BY MAIL Including a Japanese language
version of your letter (or at least a few sentences of greeting) will
make a good impression. In any case, write simply and plainly. Avoid
slang and jargon. Be honest and sincere about yourself and your
qualifications, but don't sell yourself short. Mention any teaching
experience. If you know Japanese, say so. Enthusiasm counts. Indicate
that you plan to stay in Japan for a long while. If you include a
photo, make it a good one. Above all, be clean and neat. Include a
preaddressed envelope for their reply, and enclose international reply
coupons (stamps, available from your local post office).
