Same old hand full of interviewers to ask you questions via Zoom. If you're for CIR having N2 or N1 Japanese, then there would be a Japanese interview part, with also reading a Japanese passage out loud and answering questions accordingly.

It was professional, simple, and what I expected. I took the time to research what sorts of questions I might be asked and prepared for them accordingly. They also asked about things from my SOP which might be consider a little difficult to think of quickly but if you wrote your SOP with passion and knew what you were trying to say, it is not difficult.

Interview with a JET regional leader, former JET, and Japanese ambassador. Asked questions about teaching experience, why JET, and in the middle there was a short intermission to test Japanese language skills.
