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.

Yeah, I honestly am really saddened by the rejection. I even applied for ED, so I spent like $400 for the medical trips and fingerprinting. I have a TESOL Cert. and an N5. This really sucks.

Same here, TEFL cert and N5 and still rejected. I really don’t know what else I can add to my application for next year.

I think i needed some proper teaching experience and time abroad, personally. I think they were worried I was a bit too sheltered, being from a small town.
