Cultural Context:
Emphasize company stability, growth opportunities, and how you can contribute (貢献). Avoid mentioning only personal benefits. Show you researched the company thoroughly and align with their values.
Japanese Business Approach:
For weaknesses, show self-awareness and improvement efforts. Use humble language (謙遜). Example: 「完璧主義的な面があり、時間管理に課題がありましたが、優先順位をつけることで改善に努めております。」
Tip:
Show commitment to the company (long-term employment is valued in Japan). Mention skill development and contributing to team/company success, not just personal advancement.

日本語面接の準備には：1) 会社と職種について詳しく調べる、2)「自己紹介」「志望動機」などの定番質問を練習する、3) 敬語（けいご）を正しく使えるようにする、4) 具体的なエピソードを準備する（STAR法）、5) 逆質問を用意する。AIツールを使って業界別の質問を生成できます。
Common Japanese interview questions include: 「自己紹介をお願いします」 (Please introduce yourself), 「志望動機を教えてください」 (Why do you want to work here?), 「長所と短所を教えてください」 (Strengths and weaknesses), 「5年後、10年後のビジョンは？」 (Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?), and 「何か質問はありますか？」 (Do you have any questions?).
Keigo (敬語) is extremely important in Japanese job interviews. Using proper honorific language shows respect and professionalism. You should use sonkeigo (尊敬語) when referring to the interviewer or their company, and kenjougo (謙譲語) when referring to yourself. Common keigo expressions include 「おっしゃる」 instead of 「言う」, and 「いたします」 instead of 「します」. Practice these forms before your interview.
For Japanese job interviews, wear a conservative business suit (リクルートスーツ). Men: dark navy or black suit, white shirt, conservative tie. Women: dark suit or dress, minimal jewelry, natural makeup. New graduates typically wear the standard recruit suit (black suit, white shirt). Avoid flashy colors, strong perfume, and casual clothing. Grooming should be neat and professional.
Japanese interview culture differs from Western culture in several ways: 1) Greater emphasis on humility and teamwork over individual achievements, 2) Long-term commitment to the company is highly valued, 3) Formal bowing (お辞儀) and business card exchange (名刺交換) are important rituals, 4) Group interviews and multiple rounds are common, 5) Questions about personal life (marriage, family plans) may be asked (though this is changing), 6) Demonstrating company research and loyalty is crucial.
