I told him that my Japanese wasn't very good, and that's when he said that it's better to learn it when you can apply it someplace, like in Japan.
He's a very nice guy, and I'm sure after he realizes that I want to join the JET program, that he'll probably be glad to write a reference letter for me. I hope so, anyway, since I don't have anyone else that I know of who can write me a reference letter.
Cross your fingers and hope I keep this job indefinitely. 
Oh yeah, another question. Has anyone ever been in a situation where you end up with an interview panel where you knew one of the panelists? What would happen then?
I'd find it so ironic if I met up with the guy I met last year that's on the Tochigi Board of education if I ended up with an interview. |
I think the panelist would either recuse himself, or they'd send you to a different panel. In SF, they had 4 different panels of 3 people each going at the same time, so they could just ask you to interview with another set of panelists.
