Hey girl. I really enjoy your videos. I'm wondering if you have interview advice or could make a video about the interview. I am thinking about opting in for the Japanese portion but I'm not sure what to expect at all. I've heard the interview is pretty rigorous
@@whitnehhh2 Hey there ✨️ I'm glad my content is helpful! Actually, I had no idea there was a Japanese portion! Good on you for giving it a go 😤 And honestly, I was wayyy too nervous for the interview that was even necessary. I assume it's a different process for each country, but for the South African interviews, all I had to explain was why I'm choosing JET, why I'm choosing Japan, and how I plan to share my culture with the students. Bonus points if you have a plan to share JET in your home country once you're back 😉 I've been hesitant to make a video about the interview because it's sooo different for everyone and I don't think there's a set formula for acing it. But I hope this was at least somewhat helpful and please let me know if you have any other questions! 😇
@@alexccen Thanks for replying. I have heard from a lot of other people in my area that the questions are similar to what you described. It seems like I just need to be confident in myself and my answers :-)
Hey thanks for sharing your experience, I love your videos! Could you share more about how you make the transition to your current job and how you bagged it? I'm also an ALT here
@@lesegomaqubela2721 you're welcome! I'd be happy to talk about that - I'll try to have that video out soon 🤸🏽♀️ I hope you're enjoying your ALT time ✨️
Hi! I've been scrounging RUclips to find current jets, as I'm interested in applying for the program next month, & I have enjoyed watching your experience. I was wondering if you're currently taking requests or if you have a patreon to possibly review my SOP? Totally okay if not, but if you have any additional tips for the application process, I would love to hear about it. Thank you!
@@kelitamae first of all, thank you for watching! I'm glad you're enjoying the content 🤍🤸🏽♀️ I'd be happy to look over your SoP! Obviously I can guarantee anything but I'll give you my best advice 🤭 I don't have patreon yet but you can shoot me an email on alexccloete97@gmail.com 🌱
Hello! For me, yes. The exchange rate to South African Rand is quite favorable right now. I know some American friends who are not too happy right now :( But relatively, in Japan, you can live well off the JET salary!
@@alexccenNice, thanks for the reply! I’m a South African who just started with JET in Miyazaki but I’m curious to see what people do after JET. I’d love to be in the Kanto area someday.

@alexandracloete thanks, I am. However, I also think it's not challenging enough. 🫤
😍Pretty lady!❤
Thanks for sharing ❤
@@Oscar-dz9qk you're so welcome!
I am from the Uk and the snow is not as bad but even I would struggle with that much snow and cold weather.
@@estelleo703 thank you for saying that 🥺 I feel validated!
What are you going to do for work now?
@@yogaforeverybodywiththeord9936 I've moved closer to Tokyo and I'm working at an Eikaiwa now!

@@alexccen thank you very much!!!
@@alexccenI’m applying this September too, is it okay to email you too?
hi! i was just wondering-on your jet application, did you choose rural, urban, or any? :)
@@heartpearl2364 hi! Oof it's been so long now but I thiiiink I chose rural/any. For my 3 location options I had Wakayama, Kyoto, and Hokkaido!
@@alexccen OHH i see! thank you so much :) and thank you for all your videos as well, theyre very insightful
Does the salary enough to pay bills and have still extra to save for rainy days?
Hello! For me, yes. The exchange rate to South African Rand is quite favorable right now. I know some American friends who are not too happy right now :(
But relatively, in Japan, you can live well off the JET salary!
What are you doing now? 🌸
@@kendrawilkinson5624 Hi! I'm working at an Eikaiwa in the Kanto area now ☺️

It looks beautiful with Snow.
I love gloomy days without Sun,
then again, i am an Introvert. 😂
@@johnnydoe3603 haha 🤭 I also enjoy gloomy days here and there, but that was way too much 😭
you are so pretty :)
@@mikaylasvloglist3314 aaaah thank you 😭🥺🤍
Who did you work for, name of company?
@@binteadam_1 the JET programme
i would do it but it seems that you need a college degree
@@animal-lover-- yes you do, it's one of the stricter parts of the application unfortunately 🥲
I aspire to be an ALT🥹 can you share tips how to make statement of purpose? Arigathanks! 🥹
