Improve as JET Candidate for 2027 intake

My wife and I had considered applying this year for 2026 intake. However, we decided to wait a year and apply for the 2027 intake, mostly because we have some debt to pay off. I minored in Japanese in college, I taught English in Korea for a year, and have been working in IT since 2020. What can I do over the next year to make myself a better JET candidate?
