14th October, 2008 Job interview in Japanese


Today I had a job interview at the Japanese company which publishes a free Japanese newspaper named 'Oops' in Vancouver.

A start was that I talked with a Japanese woman who had worked as a salesperson at that company.
She was like she had visited some local companies in Vancouver without appointments and invited to make advertisements.
I was really interested in that job and decided to apply at once.

But the result was terrible.
I felt totally nervous and answered to their questions like robots in spite of the job interview was in Japanese.
I couldn't impress myself well.
Even I haven't had a job interview long time, I should have done well.
Although they would tell me the result later, I guess I will fail.

I have to be ready for answers and practice more.
Then I will try to apply a job as a salesperson to other company again.
Before it, I need to analyze myself.
I remember job hunting in the time I was an university student.

今日はバンクーバーで’ウップス’という日本語のフリーペーパーを発行している会社にて面接。
きっかけは、その会社で営業として働いたことがある日本人の女性と話した事。
彼女いわく、バンクーバーの会社に飛び込みで行き、広告を載せてもらうよう勧誘していたとの事。
それで興味をもち、早速応募することにした。

が、結果は散々。
日本語での面接にもかかわらず、緊張して、質問への回答はまるでロボット。
上手く自分をアピールすることが出来なかった。
長い間、面接をしていなかったとはいえもう少しうまくやるべきだった。
結果は後に連絡するとのことだが、多分だめ。

質問への回答を用意し、もっと練習しなきゃいけない。
そして他の会社にまた営業職の応募をしてみよう。
その前に自己分析が必要かな。
大学時代の就職活動を思い出してしまう。
