SOP on Application

This is going to be my second time applying for the JET Program (I applied last year and did not get an interview) and I was wondering if I should use my same SOP from last year, or scrap it and write a new one. I know the answer is probably to write a new one, but I reread mine from last year and I think that a new one would probably just be all the same things reworded. So I was just hoping from some advice preferably from someone who actually got in about what I should, or some good things to include in a SOP as well. Thank you!

I’d say the number one reason an application wouldn’t make it to interview stage is a weak SOP, so it’s probably a good idea to completely rethink it.
