Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I had a highly frustrating and unprofessional interview experience with this company. Originally scheduled as a virtual interview at 11:30 AM, I was informed last minute that it was rescheduled to 3:30 PM and would be in person, requiring a trip 8km from my location. Upon arrival, I was made to wait for 1.5 hours without communication. Only after I approached the receptionist was I told the HR had "forgotten" about me. After a brief five-minute conversation about my CV, I was told to wait again for the main interview. Eventually, I was informed that the interviewer was in a meeting and had no time for me.

Despite no technical questions or assignment, I later received feedback that I was "below average," a completely unfair judgment given the lack of any real assessment. This experience left me feeling like my time was disregarded and the entire process was mismanaged, which is disappointing, especially for a Japanese company where I expected more professionalism and respect for time.
