Round: HR Interview
Experience: I entered the interview room and saw 2 Japanese people along with a translator to facilitate the conversation. The interview was mostly HR revolving around leadership skills and slightly touched upon tech when I pitched about my research paper. 
They were mainly looking for people who would adapt to the Japanese culture. Since I had read some information regarding japan and the long term vision of their company just before coming to the interview, I pitched my ideas very well and linked it to the core values of their company. 
They seemed quite impressed with my knowledge about the healthcare industry and asked me to choose whether I would like to work in a business role or an R&D role since they felt I had credentials for both. I told them that I preferred the business planning role and the interview concluded after 5 more minutes of general discussion about healthcare.
Outside the room, I still had lingering doubts that I would be rejected yet again due to some reason. Finally, the HR came out of the room and started asking me more details like my full name, birthplace, father’s name etc and started filling up my offer letter. At this point, I felt elated. It started to sink in slowly and steadily. After a lot of failures over the past few days, finally I had some closure….I too had a job.
