Applying to JET - Vlog #107 - Tokyo advice roundtable - Pt 2

More great advice and interesting stories from 3 former ALTs who now all live and work in Tokyo for CLAIR - the government ministry that oversees the JET Programme in Japan.

My thanks to Steve, Mary and Kevin for talking to me and for being such great hosts while I was in Tokyo.

Good luck on your interviews!

-Jason

So is a PC a post-JET job? It's definitely not listed as an available position on the website. What exactly does a PC do and what are the requirements for it?

[myargonauts]

yeah - you have to be a JET first and gain experience before you can become a PC. Your prefecture will have a PA (Prefectural Advisor) that is usually a position that is open to 2nd years and up - but this may vary.

I saw your picture on the video they had for us to watch, while we waited for our interviews! Haha. Only of the other 5 people knew about you too, and we recommended your videos to the others~

i was good to see someone from my neck of the woods. I don't really hear alot about people from the Caribbean who take part in the JET Program so that was refreshing. Great video as usual Jason. =)

I think that Kevin from Jamaica is in the JET promo video that I watched about a minute of before I was called into my interview early (the chap before me didn't show up). Talk about interviewing the best people! Your videos have been so helpful and they really prepared me for what to expect. So here's a big thank you from Down Under (alas not New Zealand but close enough;)
