Yay.  My university just invites former JETs over once or twice a year since we for some reason don't have career fairs (way to go, university). Although it seems my school/area has a really close association with the program. I'm from a very small area but there's been quite a number of people who have done the program or gone through different ones.
Actually, I'm wondering why the CIR position isn't something more mentioned here when we're known for IR and those students all have to take a language.

CIR isn't very well-known in general. I certainly didn't know about it until years after I first heard of JET. I suppose they play up the ALT position because there are so many places available and they aren't looking for special qualification. If they talked a lot about CIR, then they'd get more applications and have to turn down more people because places are so limited.

I'll bring it up to a friend who is in IR and interested in working in the field, whose also studying Japanese. She was hoping to possibly go through JET if I go, but she's open to moving anywhere.
There's also that sports position.

Oh, Canadians have that? I saw it on the main site, but the sports position isn't available in the UK. I figured it would exist in the US, but I wasn't sure where else, since it sounded like there were very few places.

Yeah, but they have to be specially referred by a government association. That'd be really neat if you were a top athlete who also was interested in Japan and learnt the language.

I actually wish i couldve spoken to a former JET. I talked to a Japanese lady at the stall about it and although she was very kind she didn't have a lot of tips. Other than they like people who love Japan and they want people to show they are capable of what it entails (like moving overseas).

I know some former JETs, current, and potentially future. So I can always ask people about it and pass along the info to you. I'm really unsure why so many JETs are actually from my area. Even my best friend's teacher in Japan was from my area but he wasn't a JET (I think he was a full time teacher living permanently there). She told me she'd try to get his contact info for me and another teacher friend of hers, I think a Japanese teacher of English.
Also, I just randomly meet people who taught there or lived there. Often. I'm not really sure how/why. Maybe a weird sign since I wanted to go to Korea first but everyone keeps telling me to go to Japan.
One of my friends is waiting to hear back and several others. My friend over there is planning on renewing for the whole five years. She wound up in a really good school despite it being kind of sketchy at first. lol Not for obvious reasons but some really out there stuff that made her wonder how the heck she wound up there.

Arguably, if you are working towards a JET program, it's only natural to bump into JET people.
So, define "sketchy". Don't skimp on the details, it'll make my popcorn taste bad *munch*

This sounds like an anime plot. Were the kids there selected because they had special powers?

Haha.. I messaged Cal what happened. I don't really feel I should post that on the forum. They were instances that could occur anywhere that just happened to when she first started working. She didn't get to really know her coworkers for a few months as a result. But now she's on pretty friendly terms with them.
My Japanese friend got into his teaching program. ^0^ I want to see him so bad and some of my other friends. He was worried he wouldn't be able to get in, but he did. Now I'm super pumped if I get to go and we can share teaching experiences together!

saviour, I would ask that you delete your post about the child killer. Speaking only for myself, I am as shocked as anyone would be, but I don't feel that it belongs in this Forum...
I see no reason to post it merely because of the Miyasaki name.
Thank you, Husky...
no husky it was not posted for that reason. actually miyazaki is a very common name
the actual reason is ; in the case it was taken as a valid argument that anime (broadly with associated things) has an effect over human mind.
however that does not mean he is a lunatic. he just lives in a fantasy world.
i posted only a link. roar is free to delete the link.
i think it does not hurt because we are exposed to more violence in anime. and still considering that just art
@husky
i have full respect for your concern and i actually did not wanted to post it. i just happened to find it for a research. i might myself remove it after someday.
