Jet interview

I know I haven’t talked about this much since I haven’t wanted to jinx myself. Today was my JET interview. I have Japan up there for a reason. Points under blog title.

I think I’m just as nervous now after the fact than I was before hand. I think I answered things well. Thankfully I didn’t get the war tribunal style of interview unlike my poor husband. He got asked how he would explain America’s involvement in WW2 to a Japanese students by an older Japanese man. I’m so glad I didn’t get asked that question.

Mostly I was asked questions about whether I’d go if my husband didn’t get the job and I did or vice versa. I hope desperately that I get to go to Japan next year.

At the beginning of the school year both my husband and myself decided that we’d like to try relocating to Japan. It’s something we’ve always wanted to do. We’ve even talked about doing it before. For some reason this year just felt right. I think because we are both a little put off by teaching here in the states.

We have a few other prospects at the moment but nothing concrete. We won’t find anything out about the JET interviews until April. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
