I’m an alternate alt short-list candidate. So if spots open up, primarily from individuals accepted into the program deciding not to do the program, I may be going to Japan to teach English.
While I’m glad not to have been out and out rejected I’m a little less than thrilled to be doing more waiting. My interview for the JET program was in mid-March, and while it hasn’t been all that long a wait the least pleasant part of these things is the wait. You can’t do anything to help your chances anymore and it keeps things up in the air.
