so.
if you're a qualified teacher, you would be more suited to the JET program... or actually going it alone with a gaijinpot advertised job. the main problem with JET is that they will NEVER place you in a big city such as Tokyo or Yokohama. you will always be sent out to the surrounding prefectures. also, JET does not pay well (but this is not a serious problem as you'd most likely be living in an inexpensive area).
NOVA pays well, but you'd probably find the NOVA curriculum remarkably restrictive, since its a VERY regimented system designed to help non-qualified teachers, teach. however, i'm lead to believe that NOVA will take into account that you are actually a teacher, and will give you an increased level of pay, as a bonus.
despite the reputation for being the McDonalds of English schools, NOVA is a decent way of getting set up in Japan. the pay is good, they give you accomodation (its nice to have a place already, but you'd want to get out as soon as you can arrange it as NOVA charges its residents WAY to much for rent), the work is EASY, and while you do it you can find your feet in Japan, and then think about branching out to other teaching jobs or jobs in other industries.
feel free to PM me if you want more details.
