Behavioral Technical
Got a screening call with a recruiter, then did a remote written assignment. After that, there was an in-person interview with the team, and another remote interview. Everything was handled professionally and communication was clear the whole time. The questions were relevant and the assessment was fair, letting me show how my experience fits with the team.

The interview included a Skype interview and a demo lesson to showcase teaching skills. You also needed to provide proof of qualifications, complete an English grammar test, and submit two references who would be contacted via email. The demo lesson itself wasn't overly difficult, as they offered examples. It focused on presentation ability rather than lesson planning. Formal attire was required.

Presentation Behavioral
I interviewed in Chicago, USA with an employee from the U.S. as a start for my career path in Japan. During the interview process, I highlighted my native fluency in Japanese and English, along with my Japanese background, education, and lifestyle. However, despite fully understanding the job requirements, the U.S. interviewer reacted unprofessionally, slamming her fist on the table and making aggressively racist remarks about having a Japanese mindset. This was shocking and made the experience very uncomfortable. Other review sites suggest the process has improved over the years, but I chose not to proceed with the company due to the interviewer's behavior.

The process includes submitting demo videos and also answering basic questions and giving examples related to your previous work experience. They also asked if you have dyed hair, tattoos or piercings and if you are able to cover your tattoos, dye your hair a natural color and take out piercings. My interview process was different because I went through a middle man (XploreAsia) who looked over my stuff and gave me the interview questions and then gave my information to Interac. They also reviewed my demo videos before giving them to Interac, so I didn't go directly through Interac. There was also an English test you have to take.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Have you previously worked with children?
- Do you have any tattoos, piercings, or dyed hair?
- Would you be willing to cover tattoos, dye your hair to a natural color, and remove any piercings if required?
