I went to the salon for an interview and didn’t get accepted.
This content is machine-translated.
The staff member who interviewed me started giving me strangely excessive compliments toward the end, so I had a feeling I probably wasn’t going to be accepted. It was disappointing, but I tried to take it positively and finish the interview. However, I didn’t sign the agreement form that you’re supposed to fill out at Universe.
I was told, “If you pass, we’ll contact you by [date] at [time].” Does this mean that I had already been rejected at the time of the interview?
The staff member was very considerate and kind.
I’m sorry the interview at the salon didn’t work out…
I’ve never applied myself, so I can’t say whether I would’ve passed, and I’m active in a different area, so I’m afraid I can’t offer much useful advice. Still, one thing I do think is that taking on the challenge was wonderful, even if you didn’t pass the interview! Isn’t that a step forward compared with doing nothing and continuing to worry or feel unsettled?
The result was disappointing, but it can also be an opportunity to reflect on yourself. Let’s use that frustration as motivation and keep striving to become even more amazing women!(^^)

You have a sharp eye for detail. The interviewer acting unnaturally isn’t a good look either（笑）
Even if you’re not accepted, don’t worry about it too much. Just the fact that you’re thinking about going in for an interview at a salon suggests you’re a woman of a certain caliber.
Don’t let it get you down—keep at it.
As for me, I just keep taking on the challenge again and again, but I’m on good terms with a woman I’m seeing who used to be a Universe member. She always boosts my confidence, which gives me the motivation to try again（笑）

Before COVID, I think they probably decided whether to go ahead with someone based on their first impression before even sitting down. The more attractive the woman, the more that was probably the case…
Now, with masks, maybe the final decision is made the moment she takes it off…

Great job getting through the interview.
Only the staff know whether your rejection had already been decided on the spot.
All of the staff members are genuinely kind. When I interviewed, the staff member was a man. He explained everything clearly to me even though I was nervous, and we talked a lot, so I really enjoyed the interview. He was definitely good at giving compliments, listened carefully to what I had to say, and made me feel comfortable throughout the interview.
I interviewed about ten months ago, so things may have changed and my memory may be a little unreliable, but I believe I signed something—perhaps an agreement. I was also told that I would be contacted with the results within a few days.
By the time I got home after the interview, I had already received an email. The person who interviewed me told me that because I seemed like such a wonderful person, they had fast-tracked my application and decided to accept me. I still remember how happy that made me.
Whatever the result, it seems you’re already registered with Universe, so I think you may actually receive more offers through them.
