The interview process was pretty straightforward, with some easy, basic questions about your reasons for wanting to teach in Japan and your previous work experience. It wasn't anything too challenging, so no need to overthink it. You might have an online or in-person interview, depending on how you applied and what they offer.

The process is pretty straightforward. You submit your application and answer some questions on the Interac website. Within about a week, you'll get a call for a phone interview. After that, it's an in-person group interview plus a presentation. This part can be a bit tricky because you might have to travel, and the interview could be held in a hotel room, often by former Interac employees. IMPORTANT TIP: Before the in-person interview, really WATCH and practice your presentation. It's the final stage, and you might even need to create your own props for it.

The interview involved an English grammar test, group exercises, a recorded lesson demonstration, and a group activity, followed by a one-on-one interview. The main goal was to assess your interaction with children, so it's important to be very happy and outgoing, acting like a kindergarten teacher even if that's not the specific role. They're looking for a cheerful foreigner to represent their company. The interviewers and other candidates were nice. Make sure to review your basic grammar beforehand because speaking and knowing are different things. Prepare a bit, or you won't pass. I got to the end but declined the Tokyo placement.
