I’m Maezawa from the president’s office, and I’ll answer as well.
Ah, I believe I mentioned that before.
If you were rejected despite that, did you apply about six months ago and get turned down then? I don’t think I’ve said it recently, but if I did, sorry.
> So my question is: Is it possible to interview again?
> Once you’ve been rejected, are your chances low?
You can reapply.
However, whether you make it as far as the interview depends on why you were rejected at the time.
When you reapply, they’ll check your previous application history. For example, if it says you were rejected because you were overweight, there’s a high chance you’ll simply be turned down again without being told why, even if you reapply right away.
That’s because they don’t expect you to lose weight immediately.
If six months or so have passed, there’s a possibility that you’ve lost weight, so you may make it to the interview. But there could have been another reason, so it’s impossible to say for sure.
If it was a personality issue, it might be difficult unless at least a year has passed.
Also, if the reason was that you chose Relationship Type A, you’ll be rejected no matter how many times you interview if you keep choosing the same type.
Your appearance isn’t going to change dramatically.
> Would it be difficult to ask for more details about the reason I was rejected?
I don’t think we used to explain that.
For example, if we told someone the reason was that they chose Type A, and they later switched to Type B, got accepted, and went on a date with a man, they might say:
“I can’t do anything except dinner. I was told I couldn’t register as Type A, so I chose Type B.”
If she said that to the man, we would almost certainly receive a complaint from him.
Something like, “She says your staff forced her to choose Type B. What’s going on?”
Because we’re worried about that, we try not to discuss the relationship types as much as possible.
Sometimes a woman hesitates between A and B, then says, “I’ll choose A.”
The staff may think, “Oh, she won’t be able to register,” while replying, “Yes, I think that’s the better choice.”
Watching staff members do that from the side can leave you with a complicated feeling.
And then, sure enough, she fails the interview.
So, I don’t think we used to tell applicants the reason.
> Also, the types weren’t explained during the interview. Does that mean I had already been marked as a definite rejection from the beginning?
If you selected a relationship type yourself without the staff needing to explain it, they may have skipped the explanation because they assumed you already knew.
At some branches, they record a video explaining the relationship types. In that case, they may not explain anything beforehand and instead explain the types while recording the video.
I’m not sure why there wasn’t even a video, though. You may have been rejected the moment they saw you, or perhaps they decided during the interview that you were a person to avoid because you said or did something that raised a red flag.
However, you wrote that you were confident you’d pass, so I don’t think you were someone who would be rejected at first sight.
If so, perhaps you were rejected because of your personality—or your attitude during the interview—or because you chose Type A.
I’m Dai, a male member.
There are plenty of dating clubs besides Universe, so why not register with another one?
If you’re rejected at the interview, they’ve probably decided that introducing you to male members as you are would likely lead to complaints.
If you think about how you conducted yourself during the interview, the reason you weren’t accepted should become clear.
If it doesn’t, you may be being too easy on yourself.
