I’m a male member.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. > How about making this a mandatory interview item at all branches? When something becomes mandatory and standardized across every branch, there will always be senior employees who act as though nothing else is allowed (lol), so I don’t think that’s a good idea. I believe it’s precisely because each branch has some discretion that people come up with ideas and new initiatives emerge. If something seems like a good idea, people will adopt it without being told.

I’m Mamiya, manager at East Customer Loyalty Group, and I’ll answer this. The priorities men are looking for are as follows: 1. Terms of the arrangement 2. Conversation 3. Looks 4. Personality I agree that this is an easy-to-understand and helpful comment. In Tokyo, our veteran female staff members Imai, the assistant chief, and Takasaki conduct a considerable number of interviews, so I believe they have a good grasp of the information men want to know. We also have these items on our interview questionnaire. Personally, I hadn’t considered them important at all. I thought, “The terms come first, so everything else is probably just a lie.” From a man’s perspective, however, I’ve discovered that this information may be just as important as the details of the offer.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. I just checked it. I’m a regional member, and in my area there have been women for some time who used similar wording in their videos or had comments from staff included. Even at the Tokyo branch, not everyone listed their priorities regarding what they were looking for in men—some did, while others didn’t. It may have been the interviewer’s own initiative, but I think it’s a good approach. I believe it’s important for each branch to use creativity and ingenuity in carrying out its work, taking its local circumstances and environment into account. I’m not sure I’d go so far as to call it a “required interview item,” though... My perspective is only one small part of the overall picture. I think “commitment” is the most important thing, and that’s what should truly be a required item.
