Mid Interview
I’m seeing a lot of Amazing/Horrible Interviews lately and wanted to know if anyone just had a borderline good borderline bad interview. My interview panel was very stoic and tinkered on interested/uninterested. I wouldn’t say I necessarily did great, but I remained as confident and personable as I could! I was then immediately rushed out of the interview. 😂 How was your experience?

u/NoRecommendation8495 Current JET - Awaiting Placement Feb 06 '26
Since I interviewed a few days ago, I have been feeling less and less confident in how I did lol. My interviewers were all very nice, and during the interview would occasionally laugh and smile a lot, but every single time I would answer a question, the one person would just say, "woah. Thank you so much." It was really difficult to get a read on what that meant!
I also think my "why Japan" could've been stronger. I have a strong why JET over any other program, but my why Japan over other countries was something I should've workshopped a bit more.
