Hey everybody, also in the getting ready to interview phase.
I guess for me I'm a little more concerned with the English sections than the Japanese. I feel as far as Japanese goes, I can only know as much as I do now and cramming would be wrongheaded (what exactly do you need to memorize now? <- to myself) but I have been doing some Japanese Shadowing to work on pronunciation and fluidity of speech.
Though more worrying for me is the idea of being 'caught out' on things and yes, I know that's part and parcel of the screening process and the job itself. So I'm trying to nurture a kind of roll with the punches and don't let snags get in your way sort of mentality (which will take time and work). Though on the subject of Interview topics are there any good lists of kind of related questions? I kind of want to know what sorts of things I might need to be out of the box on (if that makes any sense).

I kind of want to know what sorts of things I might need to be out of the box on (if that makes any sense). Hi, congrats on getting through to the interview phase.
They're not trying to catch you out, the interview is genuinely meant for them to figure out how suitable you actually are and for you to ask questions and make sure it's still something you want to do. Don't try to learn off answers that you think they want to hear, you won't get your true personality across that way and in a lot of cases, they'll know you're regurgitating something you learned. The English questions I was asked were fairly standard "Why do you want to do JET?", "What do you think you can bring to Japan?", "When you finish on JET, how do you intend to use the experiences you learned there in your future?" etc. If you say something they're particularly interested in, they might go down a road of asking about it. Like, I mentioned that I had done Kendo for a few years and they asked some questions about whether I thought that was useful for understanding Japanese culture and stuff.
I have heard of people being asked to give a mock English lesson, even in the CIR interview, though it didn't happen to me. So, I'd say be prepared for something like that. Otherwise, just give a good bit of thought to what you really want to get out of the program and why your skills make you suitable for the position and genuinely, just be yourself. If you show your true colours, you just need to trust that the interviewers have enough experience to know whether the job would suit you or not.

Make sure you have answers to the typical interview questions like: Why JET (this company)? Why CIR (this position)? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are you hoping to accomplish during your time on the JET Program? After the JET Program? How do you plan to connect with the community you'll be placed in? Since I also checked the "ALT" box on my application, I also got questions like: What would you do if you were accepted as an ALT instead of a CIR? What grade levels would you prefer to teach and why? Good luck on your interview! |

To add to the topic of checking the ALT box, some CIRs do end up either teaching English or doing cultural lessons in Japanese. You may want to think of an answer to "What would you do if some of your tasks included stuff you don't want to do?" (or what to stay when they explain you may work with kids even after saying you don't like them, hue)

You may want to think of an answer to "What would you do if some of your tasks included stuff you don't want to do?" (or what to stay when they explain you may work with kids even after saying you don't like them, hue) Oh yeah, definitely think of how you'll put a positive spin on the "What will you do if you end up (thing we think you would hate)?" question. I didn't get one about teaching kids, but they did ask me what I would do if my job were translating boring pamphlets no one ever reads.
(Honestly, that kind of work sounded pretty okay to me, so they missed the mark with what they thought I would hate doing, but this type of question could definitely come up).
Also, I would add that in my interview (and, according to Reddit, in a lot of interviews), there was 1 interviewer who was particularly antagonistic. In my case, it was the former CIR. So, I guess, just know that they may be doing it on purpose and try to stay calm and don't let it rattle you.

I checked the ALT box just in case, but I They didn’t ask me about it past “if you’re hired as an ALT and not CIR will you still accept the job?”
They did ask me something about telling people about cultural stuff (or maybe it was food?) from my home. But that could easily be CIR or ALT work.
But yea, like everyone else has said they will ask you the normal questions a job asks you. Outside of that, they might ask you a political question too! Mine was something like “a person tells you that they hate Tr*mp and they think Americans are ruining the world. How do you respond.”

Oh! I never had political questions! I definitely had stuff like "what 3 things will you bring with you to present your culture?", "Which famous Canadian would you introduce?" (I said Guy Laliberté, who founded Cirque du Soleil, and they didn't know he was Canadian, haha) and stuff like that. I also had to teach emotions once and the weather once!
Oh, also, you may have an ALT instead of a CIR in your panel. I don't think there were any CIRs at my embassy.

I expected a political question cuz Tr*mp so it wasn’t too surprising thankfully.
During that time I probably said something like “oh well I’d say, I understand your feelings and that’s valid, however despite the fact that Tr*mp is our President, he doesn’t represent the wishes of every American, since not every American voted for him. Everyone has their own beliefs, but the most we can do is try to respect each other despite our differences.”
But now that I’m here, we people ask me I’m just like “fuck that dude lmao” but that’s because I know the people I’m talking too xD

Oh, hey, do we have a thread about hard questions people have asked us? I did a presentation to adults the other day, and one lady compared equality in Japan and in Canada (like she knew how half of our Cabinet had been women on purpose) and asked me why it was so much more advanced back home...
I don't think they would ask anything like that during the interview, but it would be so interesting if they did!

I ticked that box, and my whole interview was kind of geared towards ALT from the beginning. One of the questions were, your SOP mentioned that you had brought hulemdos to tour around your country,can explain how you would go about conducting a tour to your students in their own town?
And with my background having studied abroad in South Korea, I got asked if I felt Japanese culture is laid back with the Korean culture being up and rising. (it was definitely an unexpected question) then they asked me, if I knew there were similar programme in Korea too. (thank god, I do. But I know this was the way they re-phrase - why jet)
My japanese article was about remote robot surgery. (I think if I am not wrong) so my 1st question was what is this robot surgery about. 2nd question was what are the merits of this. 3rd question didn't answer because I wasn't sure of it. But I think it meant if you were to be top in any field what it would be? (I couldn't understand or I was totally nervous till my mind went blank) so the question got changed to where would you bring your Japanese hulemdo to when they are visiting.
It was a short 15mins interview in total.
What are my chances.

During any of your interviews, did you ever talk about what kind of Canadian foods you would like to introduce? Talking with exchange students at my school, my mind always draws a blank to this one after I talk about poutine, maple syrup, maple snow taffy, and kraft dinner haha |

But yet, here we are  it so hard to not over analyze your interview in your head while you anxiously await the results. |

Talking with exchange students at my school, my mind always draws a blank to this one after I talk about poutine, maple syrup, maple snow taffy, and kraft dinner haha Aaah, I think I did talk about food! The thing is, though, because I'm from Québec, we have a whole subset of food! Like when I do cooking classes, I always make pâté chinois (plus something else, like soup (ginger carrot and sweet potato) or dessert (croustade aux pommes)) That question is a good place to talk about family traditions or about Canadian diversity (like how we have so much food). Oh, something that's always really funny to explain is beaver tails, too (they almost always think it's really a beaver's tail, haha), since they're from Ottawa and the city's "official" dessert, and you can combo it with Ottawa's "official" food, shawarma  |

Getting questions about robot surgery sounds TOUGH. You're making me nervous for my interview, haha. I feel perfectly comfortable with my spoken Japanese but my kanji is just so lacking, especially when it comes to specific topics like medical vocabulary or...anything besides those nichijou kanji if I'm being honest.
Did any Canadians get any politics questions? I'm a PoliSci major so you'd think it'd be easy but I feel like I'd probably get too ranty...
On a somewhat related note, I hope my embassy gets back to me with my interview time soon. My work's deadline for day off requests is coming up so I need to book the day off in order to catch the boat to Vancouver. If I don't get my specific date and time soon then I'll probably have to book all three days off, just to be safe.

It was just saying that there is such a thing and what it was...(ps, I don't even know if I understood it correctly) if you are fine with your Japanese, you should be good to go. Won't say the level is difficult for the reading, just my standard isn't there yet. |

Thanks for the replies! Wow so there are a lot of CIRs in SHIKOK.
How would you guys handle if you were told 日本語上手ですね
I am the type who automatically says, no. But then this is an interview. If I were to say no then am I selling myself short? Or am I just thinking too much?

I reeeaaally don't think anyone will say that during an interview, hue Feels like that's something Japanese people say in Japan because they can't fathom foreigners learning their language, so it's a way of saying thanks and starting a conversation. Someone both living abroad and expecting you to speak Japanese (since it's a CIR interview) would probably never say that naturally... I guess if they do, they're testing your reaction, since you'll get a lot of it? Long story short, don't fret about it!

Just to throw my hat in, I literally got asked "How would you feel if you were offered the ALT position instead?" and "If you were to teach English, what level would you prefer to teach?" but here I am. Also, I literally as part of my job take students back to my home city every year and show them around for a week, so it's not that far-fetched a question, honestly. |

i felt like i bombed my interview when i took it but apparently i did well?? well enough that when we had our pre-departure orientation at the embassy i walked in and all the personnel seemed to know who i was and specifically directed me to speak with certain people @_@ i dont know how this process works. the thought that people are speaking about me and i dont know about it also freaks me out.
if im not mistaken, i also got asked an ALT question (whats a grammar point youd like to teach?) and i think i spoke about "the" vs "a" articles because my parents mix those up and i just sat them down and taught them the difference like the night before hue
so i dont think getting asked the question lowers your chances. if anything, theyre just seeng how well-rounded a candidate you are and whether you can handle whatever is thrown at you. because the cir job is very much just constantly being pelted with balls and dodging them.

When I was lunch with my coworkers earlier they told me I was JOE ZOO and I said MADAMADADESU. But hue, sometimes I just reluctantly say thanks. One coworker was complimented for always being so diligent and really on top of her stuff and she was making this weird sort of OH JOE SAMA voice while saying “oh no, not at all.” She’s always like that though, so I can’t speak on other people saying stuff like that less and less. Then again most people around me don’t get complimented xD |

Haven't practiced reading Japanese ONCE since finishing my Japanese final and taking JLPT in December and my reading is already going to shit x-x. Need to get back on that Easy News train. Any other good resources for articles? I feel like Twitter doesn't actually help my reading.
I feel like an お世辞ですね usually gets a chuckle after an UPHAND.

So I will be in Europe for the month of May travelling. If I were to get accepted into the program (non-early departure), would my travel plans complicate getting paperwork done? Not sure as to what extent there is pre-departure training either...
I mentioned this when some JETs ran a booth at my school, but they said it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Do any of you current CIRs recall having to get a lot a paperwork done?

I don't know what the schedule is like for normal people who get straight through to the shortlist, but since I was a reserve I didn't even get notified until mid June, and then had to rush through the paperwork and getting medical documents etc. But this makes me think you might be okay with paperwork if you get accepted, since they have to allow for late paperwork from reserve JETs? I don't know if they give a different deadline or anything to the first set of shortlisted JETs though so you might be expected to get yours done earlier ^^;;; |

If you're really worried, you can always email the embassy who would accept you (after you've receieved the results) and let them know about your plans, so at least they would know?
