Cheers!!
Dear JET Program Applicant,
Thank you for your recent application to the 2007 Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program. The JET Program Review Committee has now processed and evaluated all applications. Unfortunately, we cannot offer you an interview for this year’s program.
We sincerely hope that our decision will in no way diminish your interest in exchange and teaching opportunities with Japan and encourage you to try again for next year’s program. If you would like to apply for the 2008 program, please visit our website at www.us.emb-japan.go.jp/JETProgram/homepage.htm in September 2007 to access the 2008 application. Carefully reviewing application instructions is very important and may improve your chances of selection in the future.
Generally speaking, the following are some of the most common reasons applicants are not selected to interview:
missing or late documents (such as official transcripts, proof of graduation, recommendation letters, or proof of study abroad)
unofficial documents
failure to meet eligibility requirements
failure to effectively address necessary points in statement of purpose
insufficient experience or information
Please be aware that the decisions made by the JET Program Review Committee are final, and there is no appeals process. We ask that you please refrain from calling our office to ask specifically why you were not selected for an interview because it is our policy not to comment on this information. Additionally, due to the large number of applicants, we are simply unable to address each individual case.
Once again, thank you for your interest in the JET Program. We wish you the best of luck as you continue along your career path.
Sincerely,
Satoshi Nara
Education Counselor
