I received the email today stating I was not offered a position with JET, nor shortlisted. I am disheartened, yet strangely optimistic that my path to Japan isn't over.
For one year, I want to move there. There is simply too much I want to experience that couldn't fit in a vacation. The "cultural exchange" aspect I long for. From my short amount of research, it seems like most posts are along the lines of "JET or bust," mainly due to wages, long hours, etc.
Is going through any other recruiting agency really that bad? Is there anyone with a positive experience that isn't JET? Or did another program before being accepted to JET? I genuinely think waiting an entire year to reapply is silly.
Also my apologies if this is the wrong place to post this: I'm just a little lost on what to do now 🙂
