I interviewed with this company and wanted to share my experience to help future candidates.
The interview started approximately 20 minutes later than scheduled, and there was no acknowledgment of the delay. While delays can happen, a brief explanation or apology would have helped set a more professional tone.
During the interview, I found the overall communication style to be quite intense. Some responses and facial expressions made the conversation feel more confrontational than collaborative, which made it difficult for me to fully articulate my experience and qualifications. The repeated use of strong language left me feeling overwhelmed rather than encouraged to engage in discussion.
I understand that different companies use different interview styles, and some may prefer a high-pressure approach. However, for me personally, the environment did not feel conducive to open communication or mutual understanding. As a result, I felt I was not able to present myself as clearly as I would have in a more balanced setting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"What makes me happy"
and other uneccessary questions.
There are 3 interviews
1 with the recruiter, in person with the lead teacher, and lastly with the management.
Questions were general and there was little information from the screening interview.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Yumekana (Shinjuku) in Mar 2025
Interview
First they have a recruiting company do the pre screening interview. Then, there's 2 more interviews, one with an hr person and the last one with the CEO. I only got through with the first two. In the first interview, the agent will ask about the reason to leave your current job, confirm your experience and current visa status. On the second interview, they ask you about every single piece of experience and the reason for leaving your current job (again), they ask so many things. They even asked me what makes me happy. All that to not even tell me the reason to not hire me. Such a waste of time.
