I was told I passed the interview, but I haven’t heard back… Was I actually rejected?

Kida, the representative of Universe Group, will answer this question. I don’t believe we announce screening results in such a confusing way. I’m impressed by how tsundere that staff member must be. Ah, no—that’s not it. Sorry. It seems there may have been a mistake on our end. We sincerely apologize. If you haven’t already, please contact the club.

Maezawa here. If they told you that you passed during the interview, it’s unlikely that you were later rejected. Normally, they would say they’ll get back to you later, so if they told you on the spot that you passed, you must have made quite an impression. It may simply be taking some time to complete your registration, but has it been more than a week? If it has, please contact the branch where you had your interview. It’s also possible they’ve been unable to reach you and are unsure what to do. LINE delivery issues do occasionally happen, so you may want to contact them by phone or email.
