Mr. Kiyotoshi added: “Completing a successful interview has several requirements and your responses will greatly affect the result. According to the “Mehrabian” rule, the most important factors in a conversation are body language, at 55%, voice tone at 38%%, with only 7% attributed to the words you actually use. Do not give unnecessarily long answers, stay positive, smile and control your body language.”
Mr. Kiyotoshi then answered questions and spoke about other notable points that Japanese employers care about during interviews. He provided further information on current job opportunities in Japan and the benefits and conditions to prepare for before working in the “Land of the Rising Sun”. He also recommended that, in particular, they should always concentrate on improving their teamwork and time management skills.
