This is a long question, so bear with me. =)
I recently applied for a job at a traditional Japanese restaurant (in Canada), and judging by the brief exchange on the telephone with the manager, a lot of the interview will be in Japanese, and the more I can handle, the better.
I took the JLPT1 for the first time this past Sunday. I have self-studied, so speaking practice is wanton.
When preparing for an interview in English, there are always staple questions such as, "What did you find most challenging about your previous job?" "How do you handle stressful situations?" etc. I know interviewing styles vary, depending on the job applied for and interviewer, but they all tend to have the same basic premise.
So, my first question would be: would anyone happen to know any standard interview questions in Japanese? Hearing anything at this point would be helpful just to mentally prepare myself. The more familiar I can become with the idiom, the better.
Also: honorifics. Are there any honorifics I should be particularly wary of using, aside from standard masu/desu?
