Preparing for an Interview as a researcher

Next week, I will have an interview for a researcher position at a company in Tokyo. This is my first time changing jobs, so I am nervous.

In the interview, I will surely be asked about my reason for changing jobs and my strengths. So I decided to prepare answers and practice saying them out loud.

Interviews in Japanese are not easy, but a senior gave me advice that if I speak slowly, I will be understood. Apparently a sincere attitude matters more than perfect Japanese.

At the end of an interview, there is always time for questions from the candidate. I plan to ask about the company culture and how the team works.

Start with all layers on. Once you can follow the story, hide English. Then hide furigana and try reading the kanji alone. Romaji is off by default — lean on kana as early as you can.
