"Since the ONIX Corporation requires a steady influx of foreign teachers to fill year-long contracts in its seven hundred eikaiwa schools from Naha to Ashikawa, the company maintains recruiting offices in New York, Chicago, LA, Toronto, and Sydney where twentysomethings like me who can't find jobs after college can get interviews just by being native speakers of English. I'm twenty-three, still living with my parents, and don't have a girlfriend - I very badly need something constructive to do and a place to do it in, and this search has led me to ONIX." |
