Filipino ALT applicant here for the 2025 JET Programme.
I have been wanting to apply since 2018 and finally had the courage and time to execute my plan. I submitted the necessary documents for next year's batch last month. I sent out all the forms via courier (Lalamove), so I do not have any confirmation that the embassy received them other than the message from Kuya Rider that he gave my documents to the security guards stationed at the gate during that time.
My other paranoia (lol) is the fact that despite having teaching experience with both high school and college students, I submitted my documents without any Japanese language proficiency certification. Although this is considered a supplemental document (based on their website), I still can't help but feel that this could be a weak aspect of my application. I did not have time to enroll in or apply to proficiency centers since I'm a DINK and still working on weekends. Haha.
Anyways, waiting always tricks someone's mind. Regardless of the results next year, I am beyond grateful to finally have the courage to apply. 🤍
