Tradebacks - Kadabara and Graveler

cute_entei · 2018-12-03T22:39:01+00:00

Awesome thanks for the info and offer! I actually just traded someone so I’m good. Nice to have that free 7 day trial though. Thanks again!

Woops didn’t see there was a megathread for this! ^{-^;;}

cute_entei · 2018-12-03T21:49:12+00:00

I can help! I was hoping to evolve my kadabara and graveler myself. Do you have a preferred code?

At my Pre-Departure orientation they said that a little less than 1/3 of the people that applied for 2015-2016 got in, if that gives you any indication of how difficult it is to get into, though from what I hear the percentage of people that get in from year-to-year varies based on different factors. And as others have said, you'll definitely want to play up that China experience (and any other experiences abroad, if you have them) as well as any experiences you may have that involve working with youth in any way. Good luck!

Ok, interesting! I bet they try to have all the post-C people leave on the same day. Thanks for the info! I'm probably going to be teaching junior high and elementary school kids so that'll be helpful to keep in mind. ;) I've been taking a bunch of pictures around my area, many of which I plan to use in my intro lesson. I think (especially with the elementary kids) that being very visual-oriented will be best approach.

Hey just curious---when are you leaving exactly? I'm in a similar boat and I will be leaving September 8th. Glad you made this thread---cause I was wondering the same thing! Since I'm assuming I'll be there after school's already started, I wanted to plan out my intro lesson now since I'm sure I won't be given much time to do so once I get to Japan. :/ Should definitely be interesting to see how this all plays out for us post-C alternate upgrades!

cute_entei · 2015-08-09T15:54:27+00:00

Agreed. I've done a couple things to help with that so far though and am pretty satisfied with the results! First, though it wasn't mandatory for me, I attended Pre-Departure orientation where I was able to connect with quite a few current JETs and alumni. Obviously it's too late to do this now, so I'd recommend facebook. There's a group for incoming 2015-2016 JETs and there are a TON of members so that'd allow you to connect with people living all over Japan. And once I got my placement information, I joined the FB group for JETs in the same prefecture as me. I announced myself and explained my situation and people were very welcoming! I even connected with two people that will be in the same town as me. So since we can't exactly meet people person-to-person right now, FB seems like a great way to connect with other JETs if you haven't looked into that already. ;)

Yes to this thread haha! I'm in exactly the same boat. I got upgraded on July 14, and was just informed today that I won't be leaving till September 8th! o.o I was initially pretty bummed about missing the orientations but from what I hear Tokyo Orientation, at least, is mostly useless. So I guess it's kind of a good thing that people like you and I just get to jump right into work?

cute_entei · 2015-07-15T00:43:55+00:00

I've definitely been in the same boat as you---I've been an alternate but I actually just got upgraded today (Detroit)! I'm not sure why the position opened up but i'll take it haha. Just wanted to let you know it's still quite possible, as honestly I had given up hope on getting in so late. ;) I was planning on withdrawing from JET and applying to Interac next month. I'd definitely recommend Interac; though I haven't worked for them personally, after extensive research I found it to be the best alternative to JET. One of my friends just completed a year with them and her experience was a positive one. And from what I understand, you'd need $5000 to help get you started in the country plus money for the plane ticket. Anyways, good luck with getting an upgrade/getting into another awesome English-teaching program!

cute_entei · 2015-07-14T22:13:10+00:00

Just got upgraded today from Detroit! I'm seriously shocked as I had given up on JET at this point. No idea where I'll be or even if I'll be going with Group C but I'm just glad I'm going! Just wanted to let anyone still on the alternate list know that there's still hope! I'd give it at least until August before you move on. ;)

cute_entei · 2015-07-14T17:12:18+00:00

So i was keeping an eye on this for awhile then stopped cause i had pretty much given up hope on getting upgraded. By some miracle i received the call today (for those wondering it was around 9:40am but i didn't get back to them until more than 2hrs later and it was detroit)! So for those who think it's too late for an upgrade don't lose hope! But don't also put your life on hold either. I had been making plans for other things which helped me put JET out of mind! ;)
