Only a few months until a new life! Icebreaker Assessment of your JET experience Difficulties to be prepared for How to explain your JET experience? Let’s talk about the CV/Resume Final step: the interview Last advice

Icebreaker What is your biggest achievement in the JET Programme so far? How would you describe yourself right before JET? What has changed? What’s one thing you really want to do but haven’t done yet? What’s holding you back?

Let’s talk about your background! Is JET your first professional experience? What was your major in university? Why did you come to Japan? (real reason )

What are your goals for after JET? Find a job in your country! Find a job in Japan! Go to a graduate school! Do you still want to be a teacher/work in a office in the future?

What are the difficulties in finding a job for a JET? Reverse Culture Shock A brand new start   How to use this experience and how to describe it to my future employers?

What are the difficulties in finding a job? What do I really want to do? A good CV / A good resume The interview

Reverse Culture Shock

Reverse Culture Shock 2 reasons: 1. An idealized view of home 2. The expectation of total familiarity 4 stages: 1. Disengagement 2. Euphoria 3. Irritability and hostility 4. Readjustment and adaptation What are the antidotes for each stage?

Getting ready to leave Busy with your preparations for returning home. Make sure to end your stay in Japan/Ibaraki well. Prepare little cards with your address/e-mail address and give it to your friends/co-workers/ people you want to be in touch with. (Facebook) Say good-bye to everybody (leavers’party!!)

Euphoria Same as when you arrived in Japan It will end when people around are not really interested in your stories anymore You will slowly realize that you are not the same but people expect you to be the same

Frustration, alienation, loneliness, disorientation, and helplessness? A feeling of not being accepted for being the new you. Antidote: Accept that you are not the same. Spend time with those who accept the new you and start making new friends. A feeling that you can’t share about your life overseas. Antidote: Try to share with people who have travelled like you. Spend time with your closest friends reminiscing about special time with them.

Readjustment and adaptation “Not better or worse, just different” Try to focus on the things you love in your country Keep on travelling in your own area, your country Create a new life path Consider your country like a foreign country at first

Starting again… Find a place to live Find a new job Food habits Clothes habits

How to use this experience and how to describe it to my future employers? Make a list of your activities Take particular experiences and make them more general Being able to transform anything negative in something positive JET Programme: a governmental program!

My experience and my cv / my resume Team-teaching and work in a Japanese school I’ve learnt Japanese here and I’m using it in my daily life/sometimes Being an English teacher Teaching to different levels and different schools. Member of IAJET or taking part in school’s clubs My students finished 2nd at the prefectural speech contest! In charge of English education with a team of __ teachers. Use of multiple languages (JLPT) Good knowledge of English (Comm.) Give numbers “ Taught to 4 different schools with 3 different levels” Organization of events , participation to events in Japan (Gunma, Hokkaido) or in the prefecture Improvement in school’s results for the annual prefectural speech contest

Basic points about my cv/resume Reverse chronological order You can put your professional experience or the education section first Don’t forget to get recommendation letters (from your supervisor for example) Be clear and honest in your resume. Don’t add information not relevant to the job (example: I love movies)

Time to compare!

Interview time!

A few tips for the interview… (icon partners) “Every time an interviewer meets a candidate he or she is hoping that this is “the one”. It is your mission to prove that your are this person” “In most cases the deciding factors are more about your personality and how well you will fit into their team” “You should not talk about your past achievements, you must convince the interviewer of your future potential!”

My personal advice for an interview You’re the best! Talk! Eye Contact Practice! Business Manners Active Listening

Find a job in Japan Hello Work Job fair in Tokyo (twice a year) JLPT 2 Strict rules in an interview
