i've heard that speaking japanese and having been to japan/lived in japan can actually hurt your chances to become a JET. Cos, remember, they're aim at hiring you is to promote foreign culture and all that sorta stuff..not necessarily to speak to the kids in Japanese (when there's always another teacher with you who does anyways). Not sure how true this is, but some of the past JETs can probably confirm (MMM, ect).
