先週末に申し込んだ新しいポジションのための面接準備。
I spent today preparing for an upcoming interview for a new position I’m applying for.
まずは、人事との面接なので、志望動機などの基本的な回答を準備した。
As a first step, I focused on preparing my responses to basic questions that I anticipate will be asked during the interview with the HR representative, such as my reasons for applying for the position.
久しぶりの転職面接。ネガティブなことは絶対に言うまいと、退職理由などを整理しつつも、いまの状況を説明するためには、どうしても少しネガティブな要素が入ってしまう。
It’s been a while since my last interview, so I revisited the lessons I learned from previous job changes, particularly the importance of avoiding negative language.
そうならないような回答にするため、少し無理くり感があるものの、なんとか準備できた。
Drawing from my experiences, I crafted responses that address my current situation without resorting to negative wording, even when explaining my reasons for leaving my current company.
今回は日本語での面接なので、難しい言い回しがあっても大丈夫だけど、もしパスしたらそうはいかない。どこかで英語面接が待っているので、その時には再度練り直しが必要になるだろう。
While the upcoming interview will be conducted in Japanese, allowing for more nuanced explanations, I recognize that this approach won’t suffice for an English interview, should I progress to that stage. Since an English interview is required before receiving a job offer, I’m taking this opportunity to revise and refine my responses accordingly.
To be continued.
