Hello, just as the title says I just got upgraded and was given 1 week to choose to go or not. It was such a long wait, especially after the first batch of the shortlist notifications. Happy to be one of them now!
According to the email and like most of the recent upgrades, I don't know where would I be going. I don't want to waste time guessing, I'll just hope it's a nice place. All I know is that I have to wait for the JET Program headquarters office in Tokyo to tell where would I be going. My question is as follows. What are the chances I would know my location before the departure?
It would be nice to know to prepare accordingly. Like, if it's somewhere in Hokkaidō, I would need to buy boots and warm winter jacket lol. Also, getting some time to mentally prepare would be nice. Speaking of which, another question. At what point and how would I be getting in touch with my predecessor? After my placement in a CO? How do find the predecessor after that?
I'd appreciate some advice on the given matter. Thank you for you time!
