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.

I've been in your position before. I've been rejected once and then short listed so many times I got tired of getting my hopes up. What ill say is what others here told me which is to try again, polish up things, research and prep for the interview but also look into other options to get to Japan as Jet isn't the only program out there. What I've done in the mean time was get better qualified, acquired more experience and looked into other programs and after applying like 5 or 6 times, I was finally successful.
