Applying to the JET Program - Vlog #6- The Letter of Intent or SoP
OK - here is a topic many of you have been asking me about.
The two-page essay you have to write as part of your application, basically selling yourself as a good choice for the JET Programme.
The American online application guidelines specify three areas they want you to cover in the letter:
1 - WHY do you want to be a JET and come to Japan?
2 - What experience do you have with teaching or internationalization that makes you a good ALT/CIR candidate?
3 - What are your goals while in Japan? What do you hope to gain from being in the Programme?
I go over these points and offer advice.
It's November already - how are your applications coming along??

PS - sorry for the inconsistent lighting - I'll pick a better spot for vlog #7.
