Have any DegreeForum alumni went on to teach in Japan?

I have considered applying as well, but since I just applied to TESU in the last month, it does seem like a bit of a crunch to get any documentation to JET. If not JET, then I will apply to other companies/schools down the road. I am also open to other countries, but have been to Japan twice, so I do have an interest in the country.

When they are asking for your transcripts, all they need is the one from TESU is what I gather. You don't need your ACE transcript etc. TESU should be able to issue you a transcript, it's just not going to have any actual grades on it. Do they charge for this? (I would assume so).

I would need some sort of letter of expected graduation as well. I am not sure how this would work, as I still need other classes, plus the capstone. It's not as structured as it would be to obtain in a normal B&M college. I read that the degree is only required by July for JET, so there is definitely time.

One thing about the JET program is, while the pay is decent and I heard the job is fairly easy for the most part, you don't have any choice about where you will end up. I heard basically nobody ever gets their 3 choices of preference. Most people get placed out in the countryside in the middle of nowhere, where they actually need English teachers. Very few people ever get placed close to the major cities, as everyone wants these places.
