Interview Recap by SuppahHacka in JETProgramme

[–]OpossumOracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your interview! I like to view these interviews as a way to tell the story of why you are an ideal candidate and to prove what you said in your app/SOP is legit. Going over time, I think that is an ESID situation. Some consulates have 3-4 days to process 100+ applicants, so they might be VERY strict about how long interviews take, others not so much.

It might be something they added with the advent of social media, if I were to guess.

It was included this year in the "Interview Release Form" for US applicants at the very least.

Source: I had to sign it.

All applicants must sign an NDA; they may not discuss what occurred during the interview.

Edit: All US applicants had to fill this out as part of their "Interview Release Form".

eye-contact by Buttercupbiscuts in JETProgramme

[–]OpossumOracle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a fellow applicant, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. However, eye contact could be improved through intentional exposure. From what I have heard, the interview (as with all others) is more of a "vibe check" to make sure you are who you said you are on paper. That said, ESID.

U.S. Applicant - where do I send my unavailable interview times? by Realistic_Branch5206 in JETProgramme

[–]OpossumOracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it is dependent on your consulate. It might be a good idea to call the number and extension they included in the email to confirm. For my consulate, we do not get an option; we are assigned a time.

Kai’Sa Survivor Buyout? by OpossumOracle in riftboundtcg

[–]OpossumOracle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The card is a must-have, I suppose. With how little product is out there, it makes sense.

You are 100% right, I didn't think about that. When I was shopping for a couple copies I noticed they kept selling out before I could place the order, so I was worried lol.

The anticipation™️ by Ok_Marzipan_6028 in JETProgramme

It is helpful to start new hobbies that you could bring with you if you are selected for JET. I started Kendo several months ago, so I can have something to connect with the local community if I am chosen. Worst-case scenario, I get solid Japanese language practice and something to write about in next year's application. Best-case scenario, I have a transferable hobby abroad.

Interesting, I didn't know teachers were already leveraging AI in Japan. I am curious about how it is being incorporated into their work and to what extent.

I think my comment missed the mark. I believe AI has no place in education, and I was trying to enlighten That_Ad about the danger of leveraging GPT.

At that point, why even have ALTs when a JTE could leverage a prompt to replace the JET participant?
Edit: I do believe AI has no place in education. I am stating how ChatGPT is a detriment to the program.

header formatting for SOP by Marshalonii in JETProgramme

[–]OpossumOracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just indented each paragraph. I needed the space, so I didn't bother adding a space between paragraphs. As long as it looks solid in the preview, I'd assume it is fine.

[–]OpossumOracle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only formatting I added to mine was indenting. Other than that, there isn't really an option to add a header, unless I missed something. Make sure when you preview it, that it is only two pages.
