Thanks for the responses!

Thank you for sharing your memories, everyone. :) Besides just wanting to experience some nostalgia, I did have a reason for asking that: I'm a grad student studying design, and doing my master's thesis on JET and reverse culture shock (American JET alumni might have gotten an e-mail about a survey in Aug/Sep. from your JET coordinator--if so, that ( Read more... )

Memories of JET and Japan

andorus wrote in jetjapan Nov 30, 2010 01:37

JET alumni: quick little query for you all. :)

When you think of your JET experience, what comes to mind?

No limits: memories, artifacts, things, places, people, foods, feelings. Anything at all. Kneejerk responses and happy times you like to ponder over. All are welcome.

Thanks!

Good luck!

Not a question or anything, but I'd asked about transcripts last week, and I just wanted to say thanks again. I sent in my JET application packet today, and while the occasion felt less momentous than I thought it should, I'm really happy I got it done.

So, Good Luck to anyone else here applying for JET 2011!

So far I'm on top of my game, requesting letters of recommendation, and gathering documents. Today, the online application was ( Read more... )

Edit: I've been pointed in the direction of another community to ask this question, perhaps a more relevant community. But if anyone here has any info that would be great. Or any information about Aeon/Amity's opinion on hiring former JET alts ( Read more... )

Thinking about the health check...

sailorlimabean wrote in jetjapan Sep 14, 2010 20:47

Okay, without any undue embarrassment, I am wondering if my weight might be an issue to pass the "Health Check." I mean, overweight=unhealthy. How picky are we talking here? I mean, I definitely need to loose the gut (well, the BUTT), but it is not like I can't go up stairs and whatnot. On the other hand, I will probably be the heaviest thing ( Read more... )

Question about Post-JET health insurance

dj_glucose wrote in jetjapan Sep 13, 2010 01:28

This question goes out to any former-JETs who are back in America. More specifically, this is for anyone who has a pre-existing condition that requires health insurance coverage. When you returned to America, and tried to get health insurance, what sort of proof, if any, did you need to provide to show you had insurance in Japan ( Read more... )
