Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 5 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en JET Program (Tempe, AZ) en feb 2009
Entrevista
A panel of three (a former ALT and two Japanese) posed a series of questions relating to the contents of my formal application. When I walked in there was no indication of where I was supposed to sit, which was awkward. I was expecting either bowing or hand-shaking, but received neither. The interview began in Japanese, and though I was quickly caught off guard by the speed of the language, I did my best not to blink. I had listed an award, so they asked how that came about. They asked about my interest in the program as well as my professional goals. A few questions in, the conversation shifted to English. Overall, it was a pretty quick and straightforward process.

Would I be willing to work with elementary school students--and, if so, would I be willing to sing, dance, etc. to warm them up to the English language?

Smooth. Interviewers were kind. Asked questions about why I wanted to join, asked me some questions in Japanese, asked about ways I could contribute as an ALT, and that was that.

What methods do you plan to use to get students interested in English outside of the classroom?
Panels consist of three to four members, stay calm and remember what you wrote in your SOP, you will do fine! Just be professional and polite. Don't worry about the Japanese portion, it does not effect your acceptance.

How would you teach a lesson about animals to elementary schoolers?
Quite straightforward- questions came by no surprise. Just have to know yourself well and show enthusiasm for both Japan and Teaching. It lasted around 20 minutes and was conducted by both an alumnus, as well as someone from CLAIR.
