First, there was a Zoom interview covering general questions about the roles and mentioning a smart casual dress code. Following that, I had an in-person meeting with the manager, which was a very calm and professional setting.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview took place in the main building. It was quite formal, considering it's an English school that mainly serves corporate clients. I wore a cream suit, which I later learned is not typical for Japanese business culture. The interviewer was pleasant, and the overall process went smoothly. Despite the formality, the pay wasn't very competitive compared to other companies offering similar flexibility and better compensation without the strict dress code.

The interviewer was in a break room with a coworker talking the whole time in the background. I was unable to hear what the interviewer was asking sometimes. In addition, the interviewer didn’t specify the questions he was asking until afterwards. It was unprofessional to conduct an interview with someone talking loudly in the background and asking questions without the full instructions.

- Can you explain the difference between two similar words?

Behavioral Presentation
The success in this interview really depends on the interviewer. You should go in with the mindset that you are passionate about teaching and helping people. It's important to familiarize yourself with Gaba's website and use their specific language. My interviewer was pleasant, but it felt like she was looking for me to make a mistake, creating a somewhat uncomfortable experience. For the mock lesson, remember to speak clearly and slowly, while smiling. Towards the end, you'll be asked about your preferred work location, but be aware that you might not get your first choice. To secure the position, be prepared to accept whatever offer they extend. Crucially, if you get the job, make sure to research Gaba's union.
