JET interview results...
Just a big shout out to everyone who didn’t make the JET interview cut (damn, you Americans were spamming the forums that evening :P!)  For everyone who is planning to reapply next year, I’ll be happy to take a look at your SOP and give some advice. Though I’m applying from Canada (but am apparently in one the most competitive cities) and definitely am no expert, I think I have...

I made it to the interview stage for JET!
cupcakebubs: Yayayayayyaayayayay! I’m very happy but also crazily nervous at the same time. I really really want to get this. Anyone have any interview tips?? Update: Thanks people for your kind words! I’m from New Zealand so I think we get told a lot earlier than US applicants if we made it to the interview stage. buuuuut hang in there! Good luck - i’m sure you will hear from them soon :D ...

Too nice...
Just dropped by the Vancouver Japanese consulate to ask about possible JET interview dates if I so luckily happen to get it because it may be conflicting with a research-study trip to Mexico for one of my classes. I didn’t get my answer since the guy in charge wasn’t there but EVERYONE i talked to was sooo nice and friendly! I mean amazing smile, nice tone of voice, tried to be...

3 Reasons to Travel While You're Young | Goins,... →
LISTEN TO THIS GREAT MAN! :) …and read the comments too! A lot of young, new travelers are quite naive and don’t seem to understand the cost (not just money, but opportunity costs, costs to their family, reverse culture shock, etc as well) and have a lot of burden upon return.

Anxioussss!
It’s been just over a week since I mailed off my JET application and I still can’t stop thinking about it! It’s mainly because I have FINALS and procrastination makes me think about and do things I normally can’t be bothered to. Another point added to my ihatefinals list… I’m almost sure the people at the embassy just wants to tinker with our emotions and...

I’m finally in the last year (5 months!!!!!) of my undergrad and I’m finally feeling that all the frustration, anger, tiredness, all-nighters spent writing essays that are absolutely irrelevant to your life, and every single drop of sweat spent are completely worth it!!  I just applied for the JET Programme this year to run away from school and teach English in Japan for one year. I...
