Disclaimer: Mods were messaged in advance of the original post last year & approved. Hopefully this is still okay to share!
With application season upon us and a lot of people having some questions, I wanted to re-share something I shared on this reddit last fall. Last year, for the Japan Society of New Orleans podcast “Krewe of Japan”, I got to sit down with Tye Ebel, JET Coordinator for the Consulate-General of Japan in Nashville, & former-JET, Nashville Culture Coordinator Jonathan Contrades to discuss the 2024 JET Application Cycle. I tried to hit some of the hot topics I saw come up on this sub last year (specifically re: reference letters & SOP suggestions). So it's a good chance to hear some tips & suggestions directly from folks heavily involved in the JET recruitment/selection process.
You can listen on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, or pretty much anywhere else you get podcasts.
I hope this episode (and maybe the other JET related ones we had in seasons 1 & 2) bring some value to those looking to get through the final stretch ahead of the application deadline! Cheers!
