Are there example Japanese responses for typical interview scenarios

Yes, there are example Japanese responses for typical interview scenarios. Common responses include self-introduction (自己紹介 じこしょうかい), discussing strengths and weaknesses, explaining reasons for applying, and answering behavioral questions. For example:

• Self-introduction: 「はじめまして。私の名前は山田太郎です。これまで営業の仕事を5年間してきました。」
• Strengths: 「私の強みはチームでのコミュニケーション能力です。」
• Weaknesses: 「私の弱みは完璧主義なところですが、その分細かいところにも気を配ります。」
• Reason for applying: 「御社の企業理念に共感し、ぜひ貢献したいと思い応募しました。」

Behavioral interview questions often require storytelling about past experiences, focusing on specific examples and outcomes. Polite language and humility are key in Japanese interview responses. ^{6, 18}
