For those of you who did JET and then moved into full-time jobs afterward: did you feel like the year (or years) you spent on JET was looked down on as irrelevant when building your career?
I’m debating whether to apply, but I’m worried about “losing” a year on my resume when I could potentially work directly at a company in Japan (My field is more in marketing/sales). On the other hand, is it difficult to get a Japanese work visa without JET, and does being part of the program actually improve your odds of getting one later?
Would love to hear your experiences.
