Secondly, calling is actually a telephone interview. The other party wants to listen to your Japanese on this phone and see if your character is good, so you can call yourself. Some stores use email as the first step, which may cover up that you don't know Japanese, but most stores still need to call after email contact. ...
I am also in Japan. Although my oral English and listening are good, I am just not good at making phone calls. The experience I have summed up in the past two years is that before making a phone call, I should write down the possible sentences, including words, neatly and put them in front when making a phone call.
Sentences commonly used in job interviews:
1. Ask for help in raising funds. View phone numbers, XXX and applications. Play the role of ใฎ๐ธใฏใใใฃใใใใพใใ.
2.XXX ใฎใพใ ใใใฆใใใฃใใใใพใใ.
3. ใใใคใฎใใใใจใใใใฎใงใใ, today, ใ
4.ใใใใจใใใใใพใใ X month, X day, X day, X hour, before noon.
5. Catch ใฃใฆใใใใฎใฏใใใใใพใใ.
Other words you need to use in particular can be looked up again. There are also many references for job interviews in Japan on the Internet.
But I learned the above passage from a Japanese recruitment magazine.
Don't give people the feeling of hesitation when you speak, but speak clearly. This impression is very important. If you are not sure about honorifics, use "ใงใ" and "ใพใ" because it is more impolite to use courtesy and honorifics backwards. But if you use honorifics well, you will definitely get extra points. I can't use this thing clearly for days.
If you don't understand, don't worry, just say "ใใฟใพใใใ, ใใ ใใ ใใพใ" generously. Especially about the interview time, be sure to listen clearly and confirm it clearly as above. If the interview time is wrong, I personally think that this opportunity is basically ruined. ...
If your Japanese is not very good, you are unlikely to do complicated work. Other jobs, in fact, do not require high Japanese. The store mainly depends on whether your personality and situation (such as time, holiday and place of residence) are suitable.
On-site interview is easier than telephone interview. Confirm with him what to bring when you call. Every store has different requirements. Moreover, during the on-site interview, he told you the details of the part-time job. If you don't understand, just say "yes" first, and then find a chance to confirm when you get the job. Don't say it before he finishes speaking, and you can only say it once, otherwise he will think you are impatient with him. Well ... then improvise. My classmate was fired. The only reasons I know at present are inappropriate time, poor Japanese, and too fat to apply for a hostess (= =).
It shouldn't be too difficult to find a job at this time. Many international students will return home during the winter vacation, which will make room.
It is best to introduce people who have worked in this shop. If there is no big problem, it will usually be recorded.
Be confident and relax, it will work best.
* Regarding what you said about making phone calls on behalf of others, I don't suggest doing so. I asked the Japanese and they showed disgust.
