1. The interviewer (the boss) was very direct and did not beat around the bush, so the overall conversation was relaxed. For the most part, applicants are expected to ask the interviewer questions themselves, so it is recommended to do your homework before the interview.

2. The boss said that after joining, employees’ preferences would be taken into consideration when assigning suitable brand-related work.

3. If you have many ideas about brand licensing or want to introduce innovations to this industry, you can discuss them with the boss, who seems quite receptive to new ideas.

4. The job places strong demands on English proficiency, so those who consider their English skills good are welcome to give it a try.

1. The interviewer represents the company’s overall image. Although the boss may have been trying to create a relaxed impression, the approach was misguided and came across as somewhat casual and overly fond of joking. (That might be fine with familiar employees within the company, but behaving that way toward job applicants meeting him for the first time may not be acceptable to everyone.)

2. Again, regarding the boss: I applied for a position involving the licensing of European and American brands. During the interview, the boss asked, “If the company were to represent adult films in the future, what kind of language talent should it look for?” He also repeatedly mentioned the “adult business division” (although he said it jokingly), which made me feel quite uncomfortable.
