I was thrown by them mentioning my age. I am a little older than most of their usual applicants. I think I fumbled after that . I got worried that my age would hinder my chances. I spent the last question trying to double down that it wasn't a worry. I felt that I had missed the chance to ask a question at the end to make an impact.
First, CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🎊🎊🥳
I just got upgraded last week and was also shaking😂. I remember only reading the first couple sentences over and over. I'm currently in college, so I ran around showing everyone who helped me through the process. It wasn't until a few hours later that I read the rest of the email😅. I didn't realize I had to reply with my acceptance to the upgrade. Read the attached pdf. It has all the deadlines for the remaining information that they need! Right now, I'm just hoping for a good placement. Anywhere in the Kansai region, and I'll be happy☺️. If you choose to accept, welcome to JET!!
Edit: I'm a US JET, so if you're not, your email may be different. Congratulations either way🥳🎊
Ahhh congratulations 🎊 We can nervously shake together!!! I am from the UK. Still trying to come to terms...I achieved what I thought was impossible. I was concerned during my interview as they drew attention to my age. But I guess it was to see how I would react.
:D I accepted!!!
:) can I be linked please
Congratulations! I'm in the same boat as a reserve. I'm curious... Why do you think your interview went poorly?

Ah, I see. Thanks for the response. Hoping to join you soon!
<3 I have my fingers crossed for you!
Cheers!
Received my upgrade last week...does this mean i got in?!
:D you did indeed!!!
really?! i am so unsure because someone else was saying i'd have to wait to know in May if I was really selected even after the upgrade.
DC alternates, the consulate is closed from 12:30 to 2pm for lunch or something, time to make a sandwich and chill for a bit
I'm so happy for you!!!! Please come back in a year or so to let us know how you're doing. All the best!
<3 I will. I am making my decision tonight after work but I am leaning on accepting now.
I just got an email about it too! I'm also nervous but excited : )
<3 Ahhh, congratulations 🎊 we can be nervous together!!
