Without a local address, she is having a difficult time getting companies or organizations to interview her. She is originally from Washington, DC, so she does not have extensive networks in Hawaii to help her and she finds that this makes the job search more competitive. She also feels that interviewing via Skype does not allow you to have the same in-person presence that allows you to present your qualifications, personality, and enthusiasm for the job. Despite all of these challenges, she says, \u201cI\u2019ve been able to get interviews and positive responses\u2026this speaks to the reputation of the JET program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She is seeking networking opportunities with JET alumni in Hawaii.
