upgraded to short list candidates may be required to submit a health certificate again.
^ This is directly from the information document on the Japan embassy website. So if you've submitted it with your application chances are you won't need to submit it again. I don't recall there being requirements of when the check had to have been done as long as it's recent, only the lung scan required for the health certificate had to be taken in the last 3 months or thereabouts.
I would still call the consulate for confirmation, the JET desk is very helpful.
That they are... Still camped out by the post box Shelia? I know our postie comes by around 1:30-ishQuote:

The postman arrived 20mins ago and was the bringer of bad news. With that, good luck for the rest of us and hope you enjoy your experiences and we'll see if I apply again for next year's intake
Sticks - Sorry to hear that. What's your plan B if you don't mind me asking?
Jintor - At my old place the mail would be delivered twice during a day (but that was when I lived in a big complex) so don't lose hope yet? I have an appointment after work but I just want to bolt straight home and check my mailbox. Sigh. Work is going awfully slow.
There was no plan B per se as I was applying for jobs in my industry (Sport & Exercise Science) for the time being to fund the initial start-up costs in Japan for JET. Now that's not happening this year, it'll be the same plan. Unfortunately it's not just Japan that doesn't want to hire me, it's also Australia.Quote:

Congrats! Guess I'll be seeing you again at PDO.Quote:

Hello,
My name is Daniel. I am one of the applicants from Perth. Still no news yet. Just that we will be contacted by email. The wait is killing me. Congratulations to the applicants who were shortlisted
Welcome Daniel. Hope you hear back on Monday!
Went to the doctors for my health certificate and lung scan today, expecting everything to be finalised next week so that I can send off my reply form.
Thank you I hope so too! Perth only had 15 interviewee's, how about you guys? ? That's great your organised. Can I ask where you guys put as your prefrences? I have okinawa, Hiroshima and nagasaki.

On my day there were around 25 interviews (did a quick count when the JET coordinator was crossing my name off) and Sydney interviews were over 3 days so around 70 ~ 80 interviews maybe.
My preferences were Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka.
Wow that's a lot. Our interviews ran for 3-4 hours and there were two interview rooms. I was the first in and had a good chat with the staff that were in the waiting room. I wish I had found this forum earlier!! I couldn't find anything about the other australians
