Application Submitted

So. After much toiling, I submitted my application to be a 国際交流員 a.k.a Coordinator for International Relations on the JET Programme.
I had the help of 3 non-JETers, 1 ALT and 5 CIRs. They looked through and commented on my SoP. With their help, I did about 10 mini-alterations, and a huge massive restructuring to change the whole flow so that it is neater.
Yes. There is no such thing as over-kill.

I won’t place my SOP here as I want to remain anonymous, but I will write down a brief overview and the structure of it to help whoever needs it as a reference.

1) Background on myself and the things I did so far that is related to international relations.
2) Motivation as to why I want to become a CIR.
3) Why I chose to be a CIR and join the JET Programme (instead of something else)
4) The skills that I have that would be useful as a CIR.
5) My hobbies that are CIR related.
6) What I would like to do in Japan.
7) A nice conclusion.

Now, it’s time to pray for an interview!
