I guess I'm just in that "business major" mindset where I'd feel bad having graduated without working at a "business job" that will make me more "marketable" to more businesses. But you're right, I probably shouldn't be too picky. I'll also look into formal classes. Has anyone else had this problem (having to bide time while waiting a semester for JET)? How did you cope?

A job that won't make you more marketable to potential employers still may be better than no job at all, though right?
Lots of people have had this same problem. Lots of people actually apply for JET twice, because the first time through they are put on the waiting list (alternate list) and are never upgraded, or else they are turned down either with or without having done the interview. I've heard of the odd person applying three times. |
