The 2008 (and 9) weaboos learning Japanese thread *chairs are thrown at miles*

Shorty, JET is really really freaking picky these days and probably one big reason is the economy and folks trying to jump on what is essentially a free ride to Japan for a year. If you plan on doing it you'll need to get to doing your application like yesterday and pray that should you go in for interview that you do well b/c surfer Steve could be all yah brah and the Japanese man in a business suit will clap his hands with glee and send him to the children in Okinawa while a guy who majored in linguistics at the top of his class and studied German, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese and taught ESL classes for a year with great success gets passed over. Just sayin'. =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, I haven't applied but a very good buddy of mine who I described did and was flatly rejected. They won't tell you why you failed your interview either. It's just "please try again next year".

The application process is pretty convoluted but hey if you want to do JET it's something you have to muck through. I wish you luck if that's what you want to do.

How ya doing, buddy?
