Go for it, Rawky.

 

As you say, you can do a bit on the side and you can have holidays in Saff East Asia, with your new found wealth.

 

Your qualifications will always be with you, surely, if things don't work out?

^^^^ What Blizzie said.

The one issue is that they want me to pay for my flights and accommodation, if i need it, for the interview. Sounds a bit stingy to me.

go for Nintendo.. if it leads to a career, you might end up in Asia anyway

 

good luck, whatever you decide, Rawks x

Ooh, that is a bit stingy! 

 

Still, I'd go for it. You'll always look back and wonder, if you don't.

Blizzie's advice is right Rawky.

 

But I don't like the idea that they want you to pay for your travel. Is this normal within the industry? I suppose if you question it, they might not like it and that would spoil your chance of getting the job.

 

Still think a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush etc, so I would go to the Nintendo interview if you can afford it, if only for the experience.

Plus if you get the job with Nintendo, I bet you'll be able to get a placement to one of their other offices in South East Asia in the future

As Blizzie has already said, if you don't try for nintendo you will forever wonder what if!

 

GL

NINTENDO!!!!!

 

You have got to go for that!!!

Thanks for all your advice. I will have to check my funds, before making the decision.

If it were me I'd go for the Nintendo interview, the job isn't guaranteed so you just never know what'll happen. If they do offer you the job you could take it, and if you're not happy, bin it off and go to Asia anyway.. Or like some of the others suggested, you could end up over there whilst working for Nintendo! Trust your instincts and do what's right for you good luck!

I agree with everyone else Rawky.... try for the Nintendo job.... but leave the gold tie at home

I agree with Blizzie 

Nintendo Rawks.

 

You can holiday in Asia if you get it 

 

And good luck with it.

Nintendo ... and don't forget that you promised me some work experience for my boy once you get the job

 

You did ... you really did

I'm with the others  

 

try all openings as they come up -  if you dont do the interview you will always wonder what if ....

 

I do understand the expenses all of a sudden after your month away training ... you dont have to make a holiday of it or first class all the way ... maybe there are some deals out there at the moment that would help you keep the cost down 

 

good luck with whatever you decide 

 

 

 

Ooh, its tough. I did have my heart set on teaching abroad, especially South East Asia, but there's always that risk of job security from being a TESOL/TEFL teacher.

 

I've ordered a Domino's pizza to help me out with my decisions.

Rawky, you just KNOW you've got to go for it!, but don't even MENTION the gold tie.

 

Not to be pessimistic, but there's no 100% guarantee you'll get the job, so the teaching's something there to fall back on. and there's no saying how long it might be before you were successful in getting that Asian position!

 

Haha! I've now got an advert for Pizza Hut.

Are you playing eeny, meeny miny mo with the topping?

The Nintendo job sounds like it has more prospects, although I do have a friend from Uni who did languages, then TEFL, or TESOL, or whatever it is called these days and has made a reasonable career out of it, has his own language schools etc.

I'd say, follow your heart/dreams Rawky, whatever they may be, you're a young guy, the world is your lobster!

NINTENDO??? Erm, are you still here? Go. Sofa surf. Away with you.
