If you hope to live in Japan one day… what do you say when asked “plans for after JET”?

Happily, I made it to the interview phase! But I’m nervous about what I’ll be asked.

On my application I already said that I eventually plan to stay in Japan on a long-term basis and continue teaching. Apparently this wasn’t enough for them to reject me, so I suppose it should be okay?

But I’m told “they don’t want lifers, they don’t want people who plan to live in Japan” etc. So I feel like I’m at a loss.

If I’m asked about my future goals and plans, of course I’ll be honest just as I did in my application, but what would help my chances of getting accepted under these circumstances?
