I’m the woman who interviewed recently. It’s been several days since my interview at one of your Tokyo branches, but I still haven’t heard back. It’s almost been a week—does this mean I wasn’t accepted?

Maezawa from the Business Planning Office here. If you haven’t heard anything a week after your interview, I think there’s a good chance you weren’t selected. That said, if they complimented your figure during the photo shoot, I do wonder whether they would really reject you. (Although it may have just been flattery >＜) The LINE message sent after the interview is basically a template, so I don’t think that part is particularly relevant. However, it’s also possible that failing to contact you was simply a mistake, so I recommend contacting the branch directly. If you’ve contacted them via LINE and still haven’t received any response after more than 24 hours, there may be something wrong with the LINE account, so please contact them by phone or email instead. You can also contact me, Maezawa, through the inquiry form below the question box, and I can look into it for you.
