Teaching at a University in Tokyo, ESL or literature, qualifications question

by Michael

Hi,

I'm interested in teaching English specifically at a university and specifically in Tokyo. I am wondering about how difficult it may be to get such a position, and if there is any particularly good way to go about it.

I am 29 years old. I hold a Master's degree in English Studies, and I have two years experience as an ESL teacher in Leipzig, Germany and Montreal, Canada, which is my hometown and where I currently reside. I have always worked with the young adult to older students.

I am eager and willing to continuing with English as a second language work, but I would really like to work with literature.

I appreciate any advice or anecdotes anyone might have to help me. Thank you,

Michael
