Not true. Interviews are always panels of 3 people. 1 member is from the consulate/embassy 1 is a past JET and 1 is a Japanese expert (eg. Language prof, ex pat, member of local Japanese cultural association etc.). Most consulates only ask members to be interviewers for 1 day so there is a lot of fluctuations between members instead of 1 team making all the decisions. I wouldn’t worry too much about trying to game this side of the application. Go in and enjoy the experience.
What is a JET boomer?
Guam used to be great because the candidates usually ticked the boxes CLAIR was looking for. However it doesn’t matter anymore unless you are a resident of Guam.

Nah all the applications get sent to Tokyo for review so it doesn’t matter. Your interviewers like or dislike you matters more. Who are they? Who knows.
u/ToshMcMongbody People working in education tend to be more open-minded than most. I don’t think some of homophobic rhetoric and offensive comments you have created in other threads would make you a good candidate for the program.
Also your user name is offensive. (Mong; A person who has an intellectual disability, especially one associated with Down’s syndrome (often used as a general term of abuse).
