I received notification last night that I will be interviewing in Boston at the end of February! I am super excited and I guess this now means I have something to blog about again in relation to JET.
Honestly, I don't think that it is worth stressing too much over any interview. If you don't know yourself and your qualifications, then maybe you just aren't right for the job. That being said, some preparation and foresight is certainly worthwhile. I am going to get back into regularly studying Japanese (as best I can), as a start. I'm also hoping to buy a new interview suit, so that I can present myself well. Last, I am going to read up on a couple things for Japanese news.
In general, it is also good to review your SoP once maybe twice just before the actual interview. Hopefully, you actually know your own resume well enough to not need to read your application, but if it makes you more comfortable, definitely read through and remind yourself of what you had on there and maybe check what you have done since the application to be even better.
If I think of anything actually worthwhile for advice, I'll put that up here. But there is already a lot of information out there on interviewing in general and a lot on the JET Forums and ITIL Forums on JET interviews in particular.
