I watched this when it first came out, but watching it now when my interview is only 4 days away is just surreal. Thank you for all of your amazing content - you’ve definitely helped me through this incredibly long process. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just practiced my interview with this video. This was very helpful and gave me even more confidence in my ability to ace this interview. Thank you for your video!
Thank you, Tomi! I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I just got invited for an interview! Your advice is so useful and makes me feel a lot less nervous :)
I’m extremely nervous and excited. Even though we just finished the application and now we wait. I hope everything goes well and thank you for being so considerate by giving us tips.
I've watched this video at least five times by now. Thank you, Tomi, for sharing this information with us. I have my interview this Friday and while I am nervous, I think your help, as well as confidence in my own abilities, will lead me to become a JET.
Really wonderful video! I'm preparing for my interview that's coming in a few weeks and I think this is one of the more concise and thorough videos about the interview. Also you have such a great personality! Thank you for sharing your experiences with everyone!
Love your insight! And that you share your suggestions and knowledge while emphasizing that it isn't just a matter of memorizing answers to questions and instead to really consider your own unique perspective.
I'm not even applying yet but I'm glad I stumbled onto your video. Your energy and smile is contagious!!! 😍 Will deffo listen to auntie Tomi when it comes time to apply 🤣 low key already stressed lol
as a fellow SDA applying im so glad that i found this. i was worried about how to answer if this came up. did you manage to find a church out there?? AND YOURE FROM ST.THOMAS TOO?! YEA. this is God!!
Thank you, I have an interview very soon so I greatly appreciate this I see so being honest and researching as well as doing best to memorize SOP is the best tactics? This is very helpful
Interviews always worry me more than i should, but your video has really made me think clearer about it! Thank you for all the excellent tips, Tomi! :) #gettomito10k
Well ... even if this not for me, as I live not in English native country, and my language is in no demand in Japan, no doubt, I still watch this. Experience is experience, from whatever sources
Hi Tomi! Thank you for the video and interview advice. I’m going to go re-read my sop again. The questions you gave to practice are really helping too. I know you interviewed a few years ago, but do you have any tips for the mock lesson question? I don’t have lots of teaching experience so I’m nervous
I LOVE love love your energy and positivity! Have my interview the day after tomorrow and you just made me feel soooo much more relaxed than I have been the last ehmm week? Thank you so much for this videooooo
Praying the wait for an interview is going to be as short as yours. This year they’re saying 1-2 months 😭😩 PLUS Covid. I’m just ugh I hate surprised I hate not knowing stuff. Not that I’m impatient my anxiety is just so bad and I’m so nervous about getting in or not. Plus my friends also applied and I’m so worried for them too. I know being a worry wart doesn’t help but I just wanna knooowwww 😭😭🥴
hi i just watch your videos it really helps a lot thank you!! i wonder if i can ask you hows your teaching under jet program and how old are you if you dont mind?
Tomiiiii you are awesome thank you for this video. I have a small general question: if I have social anxiety do you think I can still become an ALT in Japan? It sounds kind of counterintuitive but I love japanese culture, the English language, academics and I feel drawn to doing this!
A late reply, and I am not Tomi. However I am an introverted teacher in South Africa, and let me tell you: as soon as you get in front and know that you know more than they do, then you will be fine.
Hi mam. I have a question, what will you do if you don’t know the answer from the question of your JTE? For example, teacher what’s the difference among allusion, illusion, and delusion? How do you respond mam?
I have a question, what is shopping for clothes like down there? I’m very curvy and I’m a little afraid my cleavage will show regardless due to my large bust size.
Is it a good idea to apply to more than 1 program at the same time? I usually do that with jobs so I have options, or a plan B, but I don't know if that would help much in this situation.
Hey! I just came across your channel cause I'm also interested in teaching in japan but my country is not in the list of the participating countries of the jet program, do you know if that list is absolute or if it matters at all??
Might be late to reply to this, but if your country is not listed then I believe that means that the Japanese Embassy in your country does not offer the JET Programme. If I was you, I will email the Japanese Embassy in your country for information regarding this. If your country does not offer it, there are other programs I have heard about that lets you teach in Japan.
Is there a high chance that they won't accept me because I'm majoring in English BUT I'm also planning on taking 4 semesters of Japanese? 😅 or would they be okay with an applicant who knows a bit of Japanese?
