Via JETAADC:

The JET Program Office is gearing up for application season. Applications for the 2009 JET Program have already begun to trickle in and we anticipate another busy winter with thousands more to follow! We need YOU to help process these applications with us! Do you have some extra time on your hands? Come help the JET Office!
Work Term: November 12 through mid-January 2010.
Hours: 9:30am to 5:00pm, with lunch from 1:00-1:30pm.
Pay: $70/day
Requirements: You must be ineligible to apply to the JET Program.

We are seeking enthusiastic, professional, and quick learners with strong organizational skills. You also must be ok sitting for long periods of time and doing repetitive work. Even if you can only work the morning shift or the afternoon shift, we might be able to use your help; of course, individuals who can help full days, Monday-Friday are especially needed!
Each year, JET Program Office temp staff is a mix of JET alumni and Japanese citizens. It’s the most hectic time of year for the JET Office but we always have fun reminiscing about our JET days while we sort through the thousands of applications. We also usually have a few native Japanese speaking temps as well, so it’s a great opportunity to practice Japanese while you work! (Japanese citizens may apply.)

New JET returnees who have not yet found full-time work, this is a great opportunity for you! Other JET alumni – even if you are already employed, does your job allow you to work part-time? Working mornings-only or afternoons-only IS an option!
Even if you are a Japanese citizen FOJ (Friend of JET), living in the DC area, we can use your help so please let us know if you’re interested.

Please send your resume and a short e-mail to jet[at]embjapan[dot]org including the following information:
1. Proposed start date
2. Your availability – which days per week and whether you can work full days or just mornings/just afternoons
3. Whether you would be available for overtime occasionally ($10/hr)
4. Days you would need off for holiday travel if you know them already
5. Your cell phone #
