Anyone done the METI Japan Internship? I’m lowkey stressing 😅

Heyyy 👋

I’m an electrical engineer who’s obsessed with data science, projects, and turning chaos into clean dashboards 📊⚡ Been eyeing the METI Government of Japan Internship — looks like a dream, but I’ve got questions…

I tried to get into the online info session but it was full in seconds and reached maximum meeting capacity 😓 And now it’s almost the end of June and I still haven’t heard anything — no rejection, no approval. Just… silence.

So like:

• Is that normal?
• Has anyone actually been contacted?
• What was your experience like if you did it?
• Is English enough or do you need decent Japanese?

I would love to hear from anyone who applied or did it before 🙏 Let’s help each other out — I know I’m not the only one refreshing my inbox every day 😂
