I received an email from my JET coordinator and she said that my interview will be at ASU in Tempe. Which explains what that weird astrisk was on the website next to Phoenix. The location was tentative. I am just glad I don't have to travel out of state for this interview. I would do it if I had to, but I would much rather not have to travel for an interview.
The interview will take place on January 31st. I do not know the time. People have to sign up on a first come first serve basis. It is based on who replies to the email when. The earliest time they will schedule an interview is 9am. And the latest is 5pm. I don't care about being the last time but not the first time. I want to be able to speak to people about their interivew. That is, if they will let me. Plus, I don't want to get up that early. I can't park on campus, so I would have to be taking the light rail, dressed in a suit. I don't think I want to do that. So, I have been waiting a few days before responding to the email because I want to have a good time for an interview. I have until the 22nd to respond, but I don't think I will wait that long. I don't want to stress myself out too much. I emailed my instructor who wrote me a letter of recommendation and informed them of my interview. He then replied by saying that he used to conduct interviews for the JET and sent me a list of questions they pull from as well as first impression requirements to pass the interview. He also gave me advice saying that I need to come up with good questions. Apparently people asked if the program is 9 months long. If they really cared about the program that they spent 2 months applying for, then they should at least know the length of the program. I thought this was very helpful, as I usually stress myself out too much before hand.

I have just received an email from the US embassy of Japan. This email said that they have posted the results of the applications and they have listed the people who have passed the first stage of the program. They sent a list of hundreds of ID numbers and I am suppose to sift through them and find only mine? So I did CTL + F and typed in my number and there it appeared!
I should be more excited than I am, but quite honestly, I knew I was going to be granted an interview. It will be getting that email that says I have the job that will send me over the edge of excitement. I haven't screamed in happiness since my figure skating coach called me back to set up my first skating lesson in years. I can guarantee that I will be running around the house and the neighborhood screaming if they say I get the job. People are going to be so scared. Lol. I might go get my nails done or something. Anyway, I wanted you all to be the first to know! They will be contacting me on Friday and letting me know where my interview will be held. Hopefully, they place me in Phoenix. It makes so sense that they would place me somewhere else, but we shall see. |
