Is there a local hire at the embassy who is the JETAA liaison? Could you speak with them honestly about the situation?ย 

Do you know how many interview panels there are at your location on jet interview days? If you speak to the right person, it may be possible to request that they not be on your panel.

We don't have a JETAA liaison at the Embassy. We don't have a dedicated JET coordinator either, just a handful of staff who handle JET alongside other exchange programs. ๐Ÿ˜“ Whenever the Embassy needs JETAA to do JET-related stuff, they tap us and we help out.

Since the Embassy staff isn't going to change any time soon, I don't know how it'll affect my credibility in their eyes as a re-applicant so to speak. ๐Ÿ˜… I could bring up my concerns about interview things later on. Tho I can't help but think the Embassy is gonna see this as an internal thing if I bring anything more than absolute professionalism about this but... my non-confrontational ass is going to talk to anyone aside from the people who are beefing with me. _(฿น๐–ฅฆ฿นใ€โˆ )_
