J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 6 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez JET Program (Auckland, ) en janv. 2016
Entretien
As many others have stated, this programme took several months. The initial screening process is the shortest, and you are contacted about a month or so after initially applying with an offer to an interview.
During the interview, there are three interviewers: a former JET, a Japanese language teacher and a member of the Japanese Consulate. The interview is about 30mins long and you are asked a series of generic interview questions (eg: why did you apply for this programme?). You also have to do a mock lesson (in English) and a short self-introduction in Japanese.
After this, you wait for a few months before being contacted again.

Entretien
Smooth. Interviewers were kind. Asked questions about why I wanted to join, asked me some questions in Japanese, asked about ways I could contribute as an ALT, and that was that.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What methods do you plan to use to get students interested in English outside of the classroom?
Panels consist of three to four members, stay calm and remember what you wrote in your SOP, you will do fine! Just be professional and polite. Don't worry about the Japanese portion, it does not effect your acceptance.

Question 1
How would you teach a lesson about animals to elementary schoolers?
Quite straightforward- questions came by no surprise. Just have to know yourself well and show enthusiasm for both Japan and Teaching. It lasted around 20 minutes and was conducted by both an alumnus, as well as someone from CLAIR.
