Incoming JETs
From WikiJET, the interactive website for the JET Programme
This page is designed to help outgoing JETs (predecessors) find incoming JETs (successors) who are going to replace them. For the opposite, see the Outgoing JETs page.
Different BOEs have various policies for allowing predecessors to contact their successors. Some will drop hints about their identity but not release contact information, so this page aims to help outgoing JETs get in touch with the person replacing them as soon as possible.
Incoming JETs should leave their details here, and when outgoing JETs get some information about their successor they can search this page and get in touch with the right person.
Note: 2007 information has been moved to Incoming JETs 2007

[edit] Incoming JETs
- 1) Create an account - just choose a username and password. Don't forget to include your e-mail address if you wish to be contacted via e-mail. Your e-mail address will not be publically viewable.
- 2) Return to this page and add your details to the relevant section in the following format:
* INITIALS, Where you're from, [[Special:Emailuser/WikiJET username|WikiJET username]] - Other info
- So for Joe Bloggs who comes from New York and registered BananaMan as his username this would give:
- J. B., New York, BananaMan - I majored in Japanese at Berkley.
- Please note that these entries are organized by country, then state/province (if applicable), city, then initials. Therefore, look at the list already existing and make sure you're putting yourself where you belong so that you may be found easier.
- 3) Sit tight and wait to be contacted. Once you find out your placement information you can search for your predecessor on the Outgoing JETs page.
[edit] Outgoing JETs
