Hello everyone,
I've been seriously considering the JET program for a while now and this October I'm deciding to take the plunge and go for the application.
My girlfriend, a Japanese national, recently returned to Japan and, of course, I'd like to put her city as my preferred option for placement with the other two preferences close by. My question is, if in the interview stage I'm asked about my preference, what is this best way to explain this without setting off red flags?
I don't want my interviewers thinking that I'm not fully committed to the JET experience and I know they very much want to know more what I can do for them than the other way around. I'm aware preferences aren't always considered but I'm just curious as to how to maintain my chances rather than minimise them if they question me. Is it best to mention it or not?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
