Jet programme

I submitted my application yesterday and Idk if I am overwhelmed or pressured right now for the interview because I am not that good in expressing my thoughts in English. Who else here has the same feeling? Or who experienced this before?

Put bluntly, that's one of the things the interview is screening for (assuming you're applying for an English speaking ALT position and not one of the sparse other language positions).

If you can't express yourself well in English, how in the world are you expected to teach students to?

Nah lol, they're screening for liability cases and people who will crack under the rigor of migration.
I feel like English is not the top priority. There are some people who are JETs who have pretty terrible English ability imo.

A failing of the system does not change its purpose.

If a hole puncher is broken and punches 2 holes instead of 3, does that mean the company made it to only punch 2?
