J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez JET Program
Entretien
Had to fill out an initial application that was quite basic and factual (must include a photo). If you were deemed an acceptable applicant you are invited to interview at a major city. I was in NYC. It is important to remember that this is a job interview. Many treated it like it was an internship or the like. For example (true story): a girl who applied at the same time with me sent a photo when her hair was blue. At the interview she had it covered but they asked her to show her hair (still blue). Then she went on to say she was interested in ninjutsu and other anime type things. Needless to say, she didn't make it. Take it seriously, it's a job interview as serious as any other.

Question 1
Q1: Asked me to improv teaching a holiday of my choice.
Q2: Asked me why Japan and not teach in India if I was interested in Asian culture.
wirtten personal statement, online application , then face to face interview. Sometimes they ask you to take a simple japanese test too to check your level. The time between applying and finding out you have an interview was about 3 months. After the interview it took about 3 months before ifound out if i had been offered and position and an additional 3 months before I found out where i was being placed.

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.

Question 1
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.
