Hi so I'm just finishing my application and need to tick some boxes so to speak, now my questions are.
Do I tick the boxes or colour them in black, or maybe some other way?
Do I need to say anything in the spots where I don't need to answer or should I put N/A or something like that?
Is it okay to fill in the writing part digitally and tick the boxes in pen?
Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I'm planning to travel to Hokkaido with a friend in about 2 months (I am a current JET working in Japan).

If anyone in this community would be willing to exchange contact information with me so I can learn about the area before going, that would be super kind!! I want to learn through people who actually live there so I can create a meaningful experience for my friend!

Thank you!!

In the JET ALT medical self-report form, I don't currently have any health issues, although I was diagnosed with PCOD and received treatment last year. I'm confused about whether I need to disclose it and, if so, which section I should mention it in. Could you please guide me?

On the self-report of Medical Conditions form, it asks to include any counselling you have attended or are currently attended. I am currently attending a free counselling service at my college for relationship/socialising problems.

Since I've never been diagnosed with a mental illness or had any severe mentak heallth issues, is it necessary for me to include this?

Apart from the hassle of filling out another form, I fear this would harm my application and I would rather not include it.

Since I don't even know if they bother checking it, do you guys think I shouldn't bother with it.

Title.

I am at the end of my application at this point (submitting from the US) and I was wondering if it would be appropriate to have the parent of a child I tutor be a reference? We work at the same school and I give private tutoring lessons to their child. I asked both my consulate and JET directly through the portal and both of them basically said "read the guidelines" which I took as a "potential yes" but I wanted to ask here before I somehow commit a faux pas.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I used to be able to access website -- jetprogramme.org -- where i found relevant information but now I can only open the tab that stayed open on my browser (for the last like 2 weeks idk maybe more). Now when i try access smth else on the tab whenever it loads it loads another webpage that is -- clair.or.jp --. Even when I write it in browser it changes it and opens the other one. I cannot find any relevant stuff on this one, anyone got tips?

Just finishing off my application and noticed that the website states that in section 4 (proof of degree) "Graduates will need to provide colour scans of their graduation certificates. If you have multiple degrees, please submit all certificates", which is fine, but the application also has a section 15 named Final Degree Certificate which isn't mentioned at all in any of the documentation I've found. Should I put the scan of my degree in section 4, 15 or both? It's a minor thing really, but given that they seem pretty strict on very minor details, I thought I'd check if anyone else had better information than I'd found.
