I guess this post is a vent to help others who are also stressed about their applications feel heard.
I have always dreamed of working in Japan and experiencing everything that comes with it. JET is one of the best options for entry into working in Japan; however, seeing how low the acceptance rate is can be intimidating.
I will receive my degree in TESOL in May, have studied Japanese for four years with an N3 on the JLPT, and studied abroad in Japan. My references include my academic advisor and my boss at the ESL program where I work part-time. Even with this background, I still feel like I won’t be picked due to imposter syndrome.
I need to remind myself there is still plenty of time until January, but I still feel sick to my stomach with anticipation.
Does anyone know how to relieve this stress?
