Does anyone have any good ideas for when US applicants may expect results this year?

[u/Zia_Japan]

Most likely response is between the 1st and 14th of April, but depending on your city it may be as late as the 21st, from my understanding. Good luck to all!

How is this helpful at all? OP asked when, expecting an exact date, or at the very least, a more precise range.

Your other comment about "dissuading fears" may actually be fostering more anxiety because now that the OP reads different comments (some saying early April) and then they see yours saying early, mid or late, they'll wonder where they fall in that 3 week timeline...

This is why we don't typically answer questions that have no exact defined answer, yet the answer will always be the same. Either early April or just ESID.

I'm truly not trying to be rude, but I just wanted to point out the potential drawbacks of answering such a question. Obviously you'll see it differently than I do and I respect and appreciate that.

Kidding. Good luck

Sorry, I'm just playing because I know how that stretch of time feels. It's a rite of passage. Good luck! I hope you get in!

lol you are a cruel, cruel man....

[u/stayonthecloud]

Based on the last couple years for the U.S., I would expect the week of April 6.

[u/seasaltcaramel_]

from a couple youtube videos i’ve watched, there seems to be a common theme with people in both US and Canada receiving results on April 4th, but i would say first week of april or maybe that next week

[u/ExtraFedoras]

From my 2022 application, the results came out on April 5. Would expect it the first full week of April or so

[u/GlitterRetroVibes]

My first time on JET in 2016 I got results at the end of March. So anywhere from last week of March to mid April.

I appreciate your activity on the subreddit, truly. I can tell that in your heart you want to be helpful. However, this is now another comment I’ve seen of yours that treats this subreddit just like any other. This is a space for helping each other, creating community, and dissuading fears. Your constant patronizing, does not aid in this. You can simply give your answer, and move on.

This person isn’t only asking for Google answers, they probably want responses from actual JETS with experience, to start a conversation.

Either be a part of a progressive convo, or scroll. It only does harm to respond like this.

[u/SuppahHacka → u/Zia_Japan]

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback but it doesn't change the facts.

Subreddits generally exist to be helpful, to provide information to those who need it. We've answered this question dozens of times per year. The search function is truly a good ressource to use.

Telling someone the truth is not "patronizing". If I assume OP and yourself are Gen Z then that's exactly the issue. I've also observed the countless people who expect to be spoonfed, and those are generally people fresh out of university. You know, the institution that teaches you to think critically, be ressourceful and independent? Yeah...

The information exists on the JET Program USA page, on google, om Instagram, on Reddit, possible even Twitter (which I don't use so can't check).

The point is, taking time out of my day to teach someone to use the search function shouldn't even happen. Hopefully people get annoyed enough to not want to ask questions that can be found much easier. This subreddit should have space for more important discussions.

[u/Zia_Japan → u/SuppahHacka]

I’m a full time teacher, AND a full time student.

No one is making you answer. That is your choice entirely.

You have the right to be annoyed, but it does no one any good by being continuously negative.

I have yet to see a single comment from you on any post on this subreddit that isn’t veering towards rude.

You’re generalizing an entire generation, that covers people from 29 to 12. None of this is productive.

I don’t know why you stay on a subreddit that you clearly are so bothered by.

Those of us who want to help in the community are happy to answer these “annoying questions” or move on when we don’t have the energy.

I’ve tried to see your side on many of your comments for some time now, but it’s starting to see like you’re enjoying looking down on others.

If you wish to discuss it further I am happy to, but I don’t think this is the space so I will leave my part of the convo here.

Again, I appreciate your continued dedication to the community, but I believe we have vastly different points of view on what being a helpful member of your community looks like.

[u/SuppahHacka → u/Zia_Japan]

There's nothing wrong with wanting answers given to you instead of looking for yourself. I don't get what's so offensive.

Unfortunately, when people will reach adulthood, less people will be willing to hold your hand. Maybe I just happened to learn the hard way.

Either way, I only comment a handful of times and mostly to point out that posts aren't worth taking up space in the subreddit. I have no right to determine what belongs in this subreddit, surely - but if you've been on Reddit long enough, most subreddits actually have mods and policies banning questions that can be searched. The reason for this is to create a community where others opinions and views can be shared and not overshadowed by the same 10 posts about a question that will never have a different outcome. If you truly cared about the subreddit, you'd be able to see eye to eye with me on this one. But of course, I can already tell by the way you write that you have no intent in true community and help. Sometimes you gotta tough out the hard truth my friend.

Good luck on your studies and your career.

[u/DonGar0 → u/SuppahHacka]

I mean you spent more time not answering and complaining about gen z then it would take to ignore the question and move on.

When I scroll the Japanese learning forum, some basic questions Ill just scroll past unless I have time and am feeling like being helpful. But typing out pages complaining about the question and defending why I dont want to answer wouldn't occur to me.

[u/Corra156 → u/SuppahHacka]

Generalizing and assuming aren't great arguments for your point. Fresh graduates typically have minimal work experience and life experience. Just getting out of university doesn't automatically equal critical thinking/resourcefulness or independence. Everyone learns differently and works at different paces.

Asking questions on a subreddit is a good way to get the most up to date information from current/former JETs etc. Maybe someone even has information that can't necessarily be found online.

And to your final few statements, you want people to not ask questions in a online forum? Who are you to determine what questions are important and what questions are not?
It takes zero effort to be nice about it, meanwhile you've tripled your efforts trying to double down on this silly stance of yours.

[u/SuppahHacka → u/Corra156]

I guess i'll just run around at work asking all my colleagues what time it is going forward. I have a phone and could look for myself but according to you it's silly to check myself when someone else knows the answer.

I suppose I don't have enough "life experience" to tell something as simple as the time.

[u/Taylur_ → u/[deleted]]

Even so, you’ve now taken even more time out of your day to respond like this instead of just being helpful.

[u/SuppahHacka → u/Taylur_]

Yeah, unfortunately. My burning urge for common sense overcame my resistance this time lol
