JET Applicants

Hi! I understand that the JET Programme is very competitive. With that, I’d like to ask—based on my qualifications, what percentage or likelihood might I have of getting an interview?

For context, I have completed 24 units in the Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language, hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education (Magna Cum Laude), and have four years of teaching experience. I’ve also received awards as an Outstanding Teacher and Outstanding Adviser, and I have tutorial, leadership, and community initiative experiences dating back to college.

P.S. Could you also please suggest how I might effectively start my Statement of Purpose? I’d love to make it sound sincere and aligned with the JET Programme’s goals.
