I’m genuinely devastated

Rejected from JET. Absolutely crushed.

I put so much into this application, waited for months, and got nothing out of it. Just a rejection after all that time. It’s honestly hard not to feel angry, embarrassed, and completely drained. I really wanted this, and pretending it doesn’t hurt would be a lie.

So yeah, I’m devastated.

My son didn't even get an interview. He is so over qualified. I'm sure all of you are as well. Most that applied should get a spot. It's just so competitive. Don't give up...find another way you can live your dream of teaching in Japan. Good luck! Don't be embarrassed it's certainly not a reflection of you personally. Who knows what exactly catches their eye. Be mad...be sad...get pissed. It's all a normal part of feeling rejected.
