2. Concerns held before receiving interview coaching

▼Before (Before receiving interview coaching)

① My statement of purpose lacked specificity and persuasiveness. ② I had no knowledge of group discussions and felt anxious because I didn't know how to prepare for them. ③ I had a habit of talking too much. ④ Concerns regarding the differences from private companies.

3. Points that were good or helpful after receiving interview coaching (After)

▼After (After receiving interview coaching: Growth)

① I gained confidence by conducting mock interviews many times. ② By being carefully taught the foundational mindset and behaviors necessary for group discussions, I was able to handle the actual exam well despite being nervous. ③ I was able to make it a habit to speak concisely and slowly. ④ By clarifying which questions I was weak at, I was able to deepen my preparation for the actual exam.

4. Advice and practice content that was particularly useful in the interview

・I felt that the accuracy of speaking with a conclusion-first approach, speaking concisely, and speaking in a slow tone improved with each interview practice session. ・By thinking through answers based on the characteristics of being a civil servant, I felt my answers became content at a practical level (where they can see my humanity, such as how I can act or think in the job). ・By practicing deep dives into the content written on my interview card many times, I was able to think through the content I anticipated to some extent.

5. Things I was creative about in interview preparation

・Creating a notebook summarizing anticipated questions (while also anticipating deep dives). ・Practicing while looking in a mirror (smile, eye contact, etc.).

・Practicing speaking slowly.

・Appearance.

6. Difficulties in study methods and preparation

・Since it was necessary to solve many problems in a short time for the written exam, I struggled to get used to time management. ・Thinking of my own opinions and anticipated themes for group discussions.

・I felt that interview preparation was difficult in general.

7. The deciding factor for passing

・Being able to be conscious of speaking concisely. ・Being able to convey the feeling that it had to be that specific city. ・Being able to speak while occasionally smiling. ・Being able to respond immediately to questions asked so as not to create silence.

8. Message to those who will take the exam in the future or those who are hesitant to take interview coaching

By conducting mock interviews repeatedly, you can accumulate practice that simulates the actual event,
and since this also builds confidence in terms of your mindset, if you are hesitant about whether or not to take Homare-san's interview coaching, please give it a try.
