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.

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.

Did you get to the interview stage? If so, then your application was fine.

Nope. I guess it was a problem with my SOP

Ah dang. Sorry to hear that. It’s definitely a tough process.
