What NOT to Do While Interviewing for a Job in Japan

[benitofinito]

My question is about number 8

So can you over dress?

@benitofinito A nice suit will do. Cover up tattoos if you have them. If you are interviewing in person, keep in mind that you might be asked to teach a sample lesson to the students. This means that if you are interviewing at a preschool, you will want to wear a suit you are comfortable moving around in and avoid accessories that the children might grab at. For example, I have a friend who almost had a kid rip part of her ear off by pulling on her large earring.

@waigugi Thanks for your help

That was funny as hell, but at the same time very sad to know that people do these things.

I'd interview for your job but you aren't hiring a chemist and you know how I feel about children.

a.k.a Common Sense.

[waigugi]

@lateblossom You would think so, but it's surprising to see what people do during interviews.

mental note: silent keyboard....

[waigugi]

@ElevenColors I need one of those. I type with unusual volume.

[ElevenColors]

@waigugi I need a silent keyboard with nothing written on the keys so I can learn to type quicker.

seriously, both you and shotamerican needs to stop making me laugh! it's not helping with my cough! lmao

[waigugi]

@Daichen Wait, isn't laughter the best medicine? Hope you feel better soon.
