What’s inside
When I first interviewed for jobs in Japan the advice I read was spread across online forums, and was questionable at best. The lack of information was one inspiration for writing this eBook, and I wish I had a guide like this before I went to my first interview in Japan. I hope you can find something useful here that takes you closer to finding a great job in the recruitment industry!

What Readers Are saying
Working as a recruiter, I’ve dug into multiple books on interviewing techniques so I can provide worthwhile advice to my clients. The STAR Interview paints a far clearer picture in the head of the reader of how to properly sell yourself in a job interview, and comes with very concrete examples and pieces of actionable advice. It’s very thorough and doesn’t leave you with any “but what about…?” ‘s. Definitely recommended reading for anyone going into an important job interview.
Bobby Ghoshal
I highly recommend reading this book from start to finish. Out of all the writings I’ve ever come across regarding the STAR interviewing method, this has been the most comprehensive. It encourages readers to actively participate through self-reflection while providing a ready to go template with relatable examples. What I loved the most was one of the last sections that encouraged self-care. So besides gaining a more comprehensive understanding about how to approach interviewing, I got some life tips!

Why Recruitment?
In 2013 there were over 3,000 registered recruitment agencies in Japan. Five years later, the number has more than doubled to over 7,000 firms. There is a severe labor shortage in Japan, an increase in foreign investment, and a growing need for high quality recruiters. Since many of the recruitment agencies work with international companies, it’s a job that you can do with relatively little to no Japanese language ability.
