Hear me out, I know you’re all going to say JET, and I know it’s better, but that’s not entirely my main question.
I recently applied to an ALT position with Interac, which I have my second interview for in a couple days. I also started my application to JET recently, which I’ve already been rejected from last year. (Also applied to an English teaching job in Korea, but I’d much rather live in Japan, so that’s basically out the window now.)
My problem is that I think the start date for Interac would be in March or April or something, while it may take until then to even find out if I’ve been accepted to JET. I did put myself down for early departure on the JET application, which I didn’t do last year, so I don’t know how that affects the timeline.
This is all hypothetical obviously, since I haven’t been accepted by either yet, but I’m seeking advice on what I should do. I really want to try living in Japan, but if I’m offered a position with Interac, should I just take that? Or should I wait to hear back from JET, and possibly miss out on both?
