Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. What did you study in university
2. What do you want to do in company
Like most Japanese companies, the interview questions were mainly about personal experiences, followed by in-depth digging into those experiences, with few technical questions. It seems they value a person's potential more than their current abilities.
