Presentation Group Behavioral Other
The first stage was a group interview lasting 30 minutes. It involved 20 minutes of listening to a presentation and 10 minutes of discussing a topic amongst ourselves, likely to assess English speaking skills. Minimal preparation was needed. The second interview was a 45-minute one-on-one with an HR representative. The key here is to be able to hold a conversation and answer questions. Some preparation is recommended for this stage, including learning some Japanese.
