If I were to give anyone thinking about applying for JET right now advice it would be this: have patience!
Throughout the whole process it is nothing but one waiting period after another. It is impossible to predict when you will be contacted after each step of the way, and if you spend the whole time worrying about it you will be miserable for months!
I'm kind of having fun imagining where I might be sent while I wait to see what the final word is. I know that either way I will have a blast, but a small part of me is really hoping that I will at least not be on some remote island. At this point I just have to make do with my final waiting game to find out when and where I will be going.
Also, while it seems kind of common sense to say, don't put all your eggs in one basket! Look into other jobs, the worst that could happen would be that you would need to let them know another opportunity has come up. If anything this would probably be the one thing I would change about my experience. I was so obsessed about this process that I didn't look much into other job opportunities. At the very least I kind of wish I would have taken a part time job to help set aside some extra cash.
