Westgate Interview Questions
& Process

It was about a 60 minute interview where they asked me a bunch of stuff, like why I wanted to work for Westgate and why I wanted to work in Japan. Then we talked about my CV and they asked me some English questions to see if I could teach.

Nice company to work for and manager are cool . People there are very open with communication . I love to work there . You would love it too. Make sure your open to new ideas because it changes often

I applied online and had to upload my CV, teaching certificates, and diploma. Then, I was asked to upload these documents again to their online interface. They also asked me about preferred positions and why I wanted to work with Westgate. I had to send photos to head office with a short deadline and was reminded that missing it would lead to rejection. References were collected before the interview, and I had issues providing them as I only had references from my current job of 5+ years. I had a Skype interview where a non-native English speaker typed my answers, and I couldn't see what was written. I had to reconfirm all my personal information again. Some teaching-related questions were asked, and a webcam was required for part of the interview. I'm unhappy with how much personal information I had to share multiple times, and it has led to increased spam. It also seems domestic applicants have an advantage. The company questioned why I wouldn't live in their expensive accommodation and would need to take a bus to the subway. This seems like another company in Japan trying to exploit foreigners.

The interview process was quite extensive and thorough. It lasted over an hour and was very in-depth. They were transparent from the start, outlining what they planned to cover during the interview. The interviewer was approachable, yet direct, and showed a good understanding, making sure to answer all my questions.
