Hey everyone!
I’ve just been promoted to the shortlist for the JET Programme and wanted to see if there are others in the same boat—or anyone who was shortlisted and is currently preparing for their upcoming placement.
I’m someone who likes to be as prepared as possible, so I thought it might be helpful to connect with fellow JETs ahead of time. I’d be happy to set up a group chat (LINE, WhatsApp, Instagram—whatever works) so we can share info, ask questions, and just start getting to know each other before things kick off.
I’m based in the UK, but of course JETs from anywhere are welcome to reach out. Looking forward to connecting with some of you!

I can’t get my head around Discord at all, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Im patiently awaiting some kind of messaging app or hub so please send an invite my way if you make one – fellow UK shortlister (that a word?)
Do you know your placement yet? There are discord servers for each prefecture afaik.
The results for Jamaica isn’t out yet :/ I’m sick of all this waiting; I just want to know the outcome of my application and plan accordingly.
You can join the Staffroom Japan server. Lots of incoming, current, and former JETs as well as other ALTs and even some folks who work in a different industry all together. And I think there’s a incoming JET server somewhere

I only started using discord when I got shortlisted last year and I really only use it for JET communities but it’s pretty easy after you get used to it. Ngl I definitely watched a lil how to video on YouTube lol
