I don't know what happened with my JET interview. I only know what they told me at the time, and pretty much influenced me NOT to try to go through them again. Hence why I completely admitted there's a good chance I somehow came off as a complete doofus and got 86ed by the interviewer, even if there was nothing actually wrong with me. I've since been on the hiring side of things back in the states, and some times you get a feeling, and that's all you have, and you move on to another candidate. I hold no grudge against JET. Just not interested in jumping through their hoops.

My Japanese skills, beginner as they are, were a mark in my favor for my current position. My interview for this position was also conducted partially in Japanese.
