Yes, I too have an interview with JET. Two weeks from today in the NYC.

I will be dressed the part for sure. Just wondering if I should read up a bit on Japan, like knowing who the prime minister is and things like that?

Or something like that...

JET is not a company. Please understand that from the very start. It is a government sponsored program.

Try searching this forum for the plethora of threads that already asked that question. I, for one, have provided an enormous number of links to answer that.

The fact that JET is not a company might be the most important realization you could have about it!

Some might even say, JET is not a program, it's THE program.
