Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 3 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en JET Program (Londres, Inglaterra)
Entrevista
Very long application process but easy enough if you're organised, it can be draining financially though (£75 for a mandtory TB check).
The interview I attended was held at the Japanese Embassy in London - make sure to bring all required documents - Passport etc. (I was with another applicant who literally got kicked out for not bringing everything!)
Easy process, get taken through to a room where you complete an English test - grammar, corrections, word meanings etc.
You then sit with a previous JET and ask any questions.
Afterwards you are accompanied to your interview. I was personally interviewed by one Japanese lady and one British former-JET.

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.
