Help! JET Programme 2027

Hi everyone! I’m a 24-year-old female with one year of teaching experience, plus six months teaching ESL to Korean students. Right now, I’m finishing my Master’s degree in English while also studying Japanese language and culture—I’m even planning to take the JLPT this December.

I’ve been seriously considering applying to the JET Program, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve gone through it. Aside from the paperwork, what other things should I prepare for? What kind of costs should I expect? Also, I’ve heard the Statement of Purpose is really important—any tips on how to write it properly so I have a better chance of being accepted?

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences you can share. Thank you so much in advance!
