JET Interviews
Q1: The man from the consulate asks, "Can you name five people in Japanese politics?"
Q2: The man from the consulate asks, "Okay, can you name two people in Japanese politics?"
Q3: The man from the consulate asks, "Could you at least name the Emperor and the Prime Minister."
Moral: if you apply to JET, keep in mind that one of the people reading your application is a man who:
1 - will notice phrases like "I am interested in Japanese politics"
2 - has a master's degree in Japanese political science and ten years experience in a highly political field
3 - is not happy to be reminded that he is alone in the world

I'm IN Japan and I don't know the answer to any of those things. Are you coming here on JET?
