informer, i'm from Poland, been living here all my life too, no one even realises i'm not aussie until I tell them my name. so your saying you think i'll have issues being accepted for a position because I'm a foreigner ?? i doubt what your saying is correct, accept for situations where the person still has an obvious accent.
out of curiousity, are you in a big school like nova yourself? how is it ?
i'm looking to apply for JET but I wouldnt jet over to Japan till mid next year, which is aaages away
