I know interview decisions haven't even come out but given how little the turn around time from getting invited to to an interview and the actual interview our I feel like it's in my best interest to prepare regardless. But the preparation itself is driving me up a wall. I try to study every single question ever asked in a JET program, think of counters to their counters, know the SoP like the back of my hand and thought of as many questions that my SoP might raise as possible and yet I feel like I'm not doing enough.
Knowing that I only have 30 minutes (if I even get an interview) to prove myself or wait another year is daunting to say the least. JET is all I think about as soon as I wake up to right before I fall asleep…which I know might be a red flag and disqualifying in and of itself.
Does anyone have advice? I didn't even feel this stressed during college applications, though those didn't have an interview. I also used to work in tech and I always nailed the behavioral aspects (though those were probably "lightweight" behavioral questions compared to other interviews) but I don't know if I can take comfort in that fact at all.
Was anyone in a similar situation? How did you manage to function day to day while also being as prepared as possible to nail the interview?
