I just had my interview this Tuesday and I’ve never felt so judged in my life haha. I know judging people is the job of the interview, but what good does it do if you make the interviewee uncomfortable and unable to explain things the way they want?
All this time, I’ve prepared for interview with the typical Japanese question formats. But this time, it was completely Western-styled stuff and I was really thrown off by the fact that they would ask these kind of questions in the first round of the interview.
Of course, it’s my fault for not preparing properly and I guess it’s also a part of my luck that the interview ended up this way. I did my best to answer the questions but because I was half panicking, I wasn’t able to explain things to their fullest and I kind of stumbled a lot of times. I’m pretty sure the interviewer was struggling to understand what I’m trying to say lol.
Oh well, I kinda fumbled up this time, better luck next time, I guess?
Edit: I don't know how, but I passed the first interview. I'm confused but I'm really thankful at the same time haha. Edit 2: Did my 2nd interview. Waiting for results.
Wow! That’s amazing! Congrats on passing the first interview! It’s funny how things like that happen. I know I went for a job interview with a donut shop and it was outside, in the rain. I was laughing because of the whole crappy situation and the franchise owner loved me and how I stayed positive. Too bad the manager I worked for didn’t like me lol. But I’m happy to hear you got a second interview!
