Now, this is the second attempt I made to move to Japan. I applied to Jet after graduation from college, and that was a few years ago now. Can't say if the situation has changed, but that's what they told me.

By "government job", do you mean you were applying for the CIR position, not ALT? Because CIRs are required to have pretty good Japanese skills, since translation is a major part of their duties. For ALTs, on the other hand, it doesn't matter if your Japanese is only at beginner level.
