I've summarized what kind of people become JOCV(Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers) members.
I think many people want to join the JOCV, but few actually do. I was also interested, but thought it would be difficult.
People who actually become JOCV members
- Have a strong interest in overseas countries and English conversation. That's why many of them have studied abroad.
- Are college graduates. Universities range from third-rate to first-rate.
- Are financially comfortable. They may be on paid leave, come from a wealthy family, be single, or have finished raising their children.
- Something that absolutely all have in common: They were dissatisfied with their current situation. This tendency is especially strong among volunteers who have quit their jobs. That's why JOCV members have strong personalities.
I think the important thing is how to make use of those strong personalities.
