When applying for AEON, one of the requirements is an essay titled "Why I want to live and work in Japan." I already have an SOP I wrote for JET last year and I'm wondering if I could use that for the AEON essay. I'm just not sure if what JET values and what AEON values in an essay match. For JET, it seemed like people recommended expressing your desire for cultural exchange. I don't know if that's the same for AEON since they're an Eikawa and are more about making money. The JET requirement was that it was 2 pages long. Does AEON's essay need to be that long? Are there any reasons that I shouldn't mention?
I'd be happy to hear from any current or former AEON teachers what they wrote. I'd also be willing to share my JET SOP to see what about it could be altered.
