When I sent my resume to 7 major schools in Nagoya before coming home from Utah, I got no response, which meant I lost my job.  In my view, it must be easy for me to find a job because at that time we had a few English teachers who studied abroad.  But I was wrong.
   Teachers major schools wanted were those who had a wellknown certificate like Step test, which is not known except Japan.  This was ridiculous.  However I had no choice and had to start preparing for the test.
