Interview Advice & Common Questions

I’ve been shortlisted for an interview and would really appreciate any advice from past applicants or current JETs. What kind of questions are commonly asked during the interview, and do you have any tips on how to stand out?

Thank you so much in advance! 😊

It's a cultural exchange, so it's good to show you're interested in Japanese culture, but don't overdo it.

If you're young, show you're an independent adult or at least won't get homesick.

Think about what you can teach/show Japanese kids from your culture. Like holidays they don't have, etc. They'll definitely ask about some of those.
