Unless things have changes, I can't imagine JET is still accepting applications for 2011. If I remember correctly, they will be conducting interviews this month after a couple months of processing applications.

It all depends on where they place you too, some places they have contracts with which force them to give certain benefits to the teachers, if they can avoid it and pocket it instead they will.
For example, don't expect to see a bonus when all your Japanese coworkers do.

Honestly, the jobs you can get are 100 times better if you look for them from Japan, and simply walk into the workplace with a resume in hand.
A school contracted with Interac is not going to hire anyone off the street.

Also JETs do not get bonuses either.
