  • 187.「おじさん」に聞いた日本の面接対策!ビジネスマナーとよくある質問とは?Japanese Job Interview Tips from "Ojisan"! Business Manners and Common Questions Explained
    Jun 8 2025

    近々(ちかぢか)日本(にほん)の会社(かいしゃ)の面接(めんせつ)を受(う)けるという生徒(せいと)さんからアドバイスはないですか?と聞(き)かれました。「おじさん」はインドネシアでも日本(にほん)でも面接(めんせつ)を担当(たんとう)したことがあるので、日本(にほん)の面接(めんせつ)ではどんなことを気(き)をつけた方(ほう)がいいのか、日本(にほん)のビジネスマナー、面接(めんせつ)での質問内容(しつもんないよう)についても聞(き)いてみました。これから面接(めんせつ)を受(う)ける人(ひと)はぜひ参考(さんこう)にしてみてください。

    One of my students, who will soon have a job interview with a Japanese company, asked me if I had any advice. Since “Ojisan” has conducted interviews both in Indonesia and in Japan, I asked him what to be careful about in Japanese interviews, including Japanese business manners and typical interview questions. If you’re preparing for a job interview in Japan, I hope you find this helpful.

  • 186. 敬語ドリル再び!今回はおじさんと挑戦!実際のビジネス会話を聞いてみた。Keigo Drill Returns! This Time with Ojisan — Hear Real Business Conversations!
    Jun 1 2025

    今回(こんかい)からおじさんとのポッドキャストになります。
    まだ上手(うま)く進行(しんこう)できないおじさんですが、ご了承(りょうしょう)ください。
    以前(いぜん)、とらくんとやったオーストラリアの高校生(こうこうせい)の教科書(きょうかしょ)の問題(もんだい)、カジュアルな日本語(にほんご)を敬語(けいご)にするというドリルをおじさんとやってみました。
    長年(ながねん)日本(にほん)の会社(かいしゃ)で働(はたら)いているおじさんは、いわばビジネス会話(かいわ)のエキスパートです。
    実際(じっさい)に使(つか)われているビジネス敬語(けいご)を教(おし)えてもらいました!


    Starting with this episode, the podcast will be with Ojisan.
    He’s not quite good at hosting yet, so we appreciate your understanding.
    Previously, Tora and I worked on a textbook exercise for Australian high school students, where casual Japanese is turned into polite language. This time, I tried doing the same drill with Ojisan.
    Having worked at a Japanese company for many years, Ojisan is basically a business conversation expert.
    He taught us some real-world business keigo (polite expressions) that are actually used in the workplace!
