Well, let's start the last interviews. Hey, I'm
really not ready yet.
Why is it forbidden to ask
what kind of books they read?
Well, because one's thoughts and beliefs
are related to books.... Well, what about movies? Movies.
Is it alright if I ask what kind of movies they like?
Well, I think that's OK?
It's OK. Well then, movies they watch
also would reveal one's thought's and beliefs, right?
Like you say. Well, we're out of time, so.
Anyway, the prohibited items are written here,
please don't ask any questions that would cause any trouble.
If anything strange is asked, it will quickly
show up on the net and the company will get flamed
for asking such cruel things. I know, I know.
I won't ask anything. I'll entrust it to you, Director Akechi.
Please go ahead and ask the safe questions.
Well then, let's start with the first person. Please.
Thank you.
Of Hokosou University's Economics Department, I'm Kawamura Yoshihiko.
Please have a seat. Yes, Thank you.
Eh ~ Well, our first question to start with.
Hey !
Can I ask one thing? Yes.
Everyone that's come for an interview,
all of them have sat down exactly the same way, why is that?
I am Aoki Hideyuki.
Pleased to meet you. Please take a seat.
Thank you.
"Before you sit, be sure to bow, then take the seat."
There's a manual! It tells them how to sit !
What's wrong with it? They're just students,
frantically trying to find a job! But you know,
them all following the same manual,
they're all looking like the superhero Kintaro, all a bunch of clones,
Gives me the creeps. Huh, there's more? Huh?
"How to properly evaluate the interview."
"How to properly promote yourself." What's this?
I have an urge to break the shell
that all these guys have from looking at this crap.
Please don't follow your urge ! In general, were not a company
that can use any of them.
The interviewer guides, don't let you ask
any critical questions? We can't have a stressful interview?
Don't we ask uncomfortable questions on purpose to create stress?
After all, look, whatever you say,
if you can't get them riled up, you can't really see what they're like.
Well, that's why such companies get on the net,
one thing or another gets written about them.
It's strange, there's a manual they all follow.
We've got it. Thank you.
Huh, What's this.
The writings of students on the Internet about job hunting.
This website, Jobtrial Japan,
was established some years ago, however
it has the true opinions of students written there,
it seems to be pretty popular. And on the site
there's a page about how to recognize a black enterprise.
It says, "It's very likely it's black if there is a huge picture of the President."
Does Tres Fields follow this pattern? What's with this !?
What, is that such a big deal?
No big deal! This here.
Wow, certainly that is huge. Not huge !
It is huge. This is just normal, right.
Let's make it a little smaller. Hey, look,
how does a picture of the president, make us black?
It shows evidence the president has a huge ego.
What's wrong with the president having a huge ego?
It shows that your own satisfaction is more important
than the happiness of the employees. Well you know,
compared to a normal person, I suppose
I do have a big ego....
It is big, my ego.
It is powerful!
That's why I've been able to build this company.
No necessity to deny that, is there? Well, ah
it's alright to make the picture a little smaller.
...don't get bothered, OK. What else, huh?
"The President's secretary is beyond beautiful.
This also manifests the presidents huge ego."...
This is bad, she's beyond beautiful. Beyond beautiful.
You're beyond beautiful. That's just flattery.
Oh, what can we do with this... Society puts such restrictions on everything
we do, our official stance is so different from what's real!
The real intentions make us competitive. Now really.
Well we can't go against the grain.
Well, doesn't have much impact..
He is by no means the ideal person,
it's just that I've figured out he's not that bad a person.
Pretty tepid, nobody will read that!
Yea, with that, I was thinking
of letting this manuscript sit a bit , to see if some scandal might erupt.
What did you say? We already made plans!
Huh, didn't we talk about giving it some consideration
after I had written an interesting manuscript?
No, our president accidentally saw the proposal, and gave it the green light!
Our president is a dictator like that.
But.... Actually, anything is fine.
If Mitamura's no so bad,
just make him look bad in this book, OK.
Well that's.... We create the reality.
It'll be a best seller.
Well, anyway it's been decided,
we're asking for a manuscript.
Hi.
Huh? Who's this?
Dunno?
Hi~ . Hey, hey... here.
Huh? Who is this?
Huh? Oh, Nakanishi san.
It's Nakanishi san. Nakanishi, who's Nakanishi?
He's Nakanishi san, a Senior 1 year ahead of me.
He already retired from the club, and is looking for a job.
Oh, is that right? He looks really tired.
Heh. His suit's getting wrinkled.
Got it~! Wow, Don't scare us.
What's that Oh crap, it's only a dream.
Same as ever, so loud. Oh sorry, been a while.
Long time no see. Crap...
What did you see in your dream? What's happening?
Oh, Nakanishi san. Oh.
Well, I came to school to get a copy of my transcripts,
and decided to drop by. Oh, right.
Oh, here, this person?
Well ah, I'm Mitamura, a freshman working adult returning to school,
pleased to meet you. A working adult.
Hey, hey.... How's it going, your job hunt?
My job hunt...
Well to sum it up,
It's hell!
Huh? Hell?
I started in December of last year, but.
It already seems like forever.
I still haven't found anything!
How many company's have you applied at?
Because it's the age of the Internet,
it's really easy to apply.
Job websites just keep you always applying,
and so I have applied at over 300 companies.
Huh, 300?
It feels like groundhog day.
But I haven't found anything!
No matter how many times you call for an interview, you hardly ever get one.
You always know it's over when they wish for your success!
Wish? What do you mean?
Sorry to say, I'm having no luck,
"We hope for your future success." is how they reject you!
That's clever ! That, saying they "Hope."
Did you know that? Hey.
Oh, sorry, that was rude. No matter how hard I try,
I can't even get a little interest, never even gotten to a final interview.
Even though my friends have steadily been getting offers.
I'm thinking that I'm no good. No, no...
Am I a worthless person!? Now, now..
I'm so worthless ! I'm so worthless !
That how I'm feeling.... I'm so tired of it.
But it won't end.
It must be hard.
It's easy for you to say that now.
Pretty soon, you'll all start job hunting.
Then you'll be in hell ~ !!
Oh, I'll just tell you one thing.
At least be careful of the black enterprises.
Yes. Someone like me,
who can't get a job offer, is what the black enterprises go after.
We are forced into feeling any place would be fine
when we get no offers.
And that's when the black enterprise gets you.
And once they get you, your life is over.
Hey, this, this, black enterprise, whatever,
it seems there's a way to recognize them, on the company's website,
if there's a huge picture of the company president, it might be a black enterprise...
Is that right? Really, really...
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I've got to get to my next interview.
Give it your best. Of course,
I'm giving it my best !!
Don't look at me like that!!?
What are looking at!?
Scary. It sucks.
Because it's not going well for him, he's taking it out on us.
Is that how we're going to be in a year?
I've seen on the news, that the job hunting conditions
have gotten better this year, but...
They're just talking about the top universities, right?
Somehow things have gotten more gloomy.
What's so funny?
Well, well, it's funny you're all so afraid of job hunting.
Well just because you're on the other side of it.
Look, a company's future
is dependent on how they use the talents of the people they hire.
Then there's the money, do you know
how much it costs to hire just one person.
You can't understand what we worry about!
Yes, yes yes. It's fine with me,
if you all keep on worrying like this.
And like that, you'll all descend into hell~.
Hell, it's hell.
As ever, that bastard pisses me off.
What? Well... This might be bad, but?
Mitamura having that kind of attitude.
What of it? Well he is a president.
It might be somehow be an advantage when it comes to job hunting?
Yea, like what they look for. Yea.
Well then, suck up to him. You don't need to suck up,
just ask him? "Please give us job hunting advice."
Huh? You mean ask him?
You want me to ask him?
Huh, Yuri can?
Well, things lately with Mitamura, well you know.
What do you mean "you know."? Bye, see you later.
Hey, Yuri!
How are we..., going to find jobs.
Kyoko Sensei. Yea?
This is a rumor. It's only a rumor, but.
What? Hurry, spit it out! It seems
the university will be restructuring and letting some lecturers go.
Huh!? Well, Kyoko Sensei, you're alright.
Don't just say that to console me.
It's just that like this, I won't become a lecturer!
It's no big deal to lose,
something you never had.
Yes, that's right.
Actually, this tell all book on Mitamura san,
they're urging me to get the manuscript, cause it's being planned.
Huh, isn't that good !?
It's good, but it's bad.
If you get that book out,
it will absolutely become a bestseller.
Huh?
How do you get off on simply saying things like that?
Think about it before you start flapping your jaws!
Yes, sorry, sorry.
Hello.
Hi, Akiyama.
Oh, Tajima kun.
Why are you here? No, same question for you?
Huh? I'm a lecturer here. Serious?
What, is it that strange I'd be a lecturer?
No... Don't think it's strange.
Your bad.
Well, you Tajima kun? I've just a little
business at the school career center.
Career center? What?
Everyone doesn't really want me coming around do they?
Well, I think everyone really wants to hear
your advice. You think so?
Of course.
Well, if Yuri chan says so, I guess it's true.
Why are they all so meek now...
If they want my advice, it's fine if they'd ask,
Right ? Right.
Right.
kept you waiting ~. Hi !
Oh you came. Huh?
Why are you here? Huh, really...
Oh, who's this ?
Oh, glad to meet you.
I'm Tajima of Jobtrial Japan. Oh, thanks.
Jobtrial Japan?
I've heard that somewhere... Oh !
"It has the true opinions of students written there,
it seems to be pretty popular."
We're a company that provides service to students in job hunting.
It's still just a young company.
Oh. Very pleased to make your acquaintance.
Are you the president of this company?
It's an honor that you would think so.
Oh, excuse me. Sorry, I don't have a card with me.
Don't worry, you're President Mitamura of Tres Fields.
Huh? I heard from Akiyama.
Akiyama? Yes.
We were classmates in business management.
Oh~ . Well ~
Somehow I'm happy I was able to meet you.
Oh no, same feeling too.
Right, I have looked at your site,
there's some things on it that were interesting.
Really ? Well yea.
Thank you very much. Tajima san
is teaching us some job hunting secrets.
Anyhow, he's a person that knows something about job hunting services.
Our motto is "We get students job offers."
This is hard to say but, ever since we started,
I haven't heard much good about your enterprise.
Well, yea, yea.
He's talking to us free of charge,
aren't we lucky. Yea that is lucky, isn't it.
Mmm, about that? I don't think I have anything...
No, no, no. If you have something to say.
Really, I like to hear directly from someone in business.
Oh, is that right? Yes.
Well...
Well, well, tell us what to do, for job hunting?
Well in a word,
you need to follow the manual.
No matter what, it's important to follow the pattern.
Oh, when following the manual
there are a lot of things you need to remember to say and not to say.
Yes. But because you're still students,
there's still many things that you're still imperfect at,
so before becoming a full fledged member of society,
you need to learn how to give a good impression,
that's very important. Oh I see.
Well that is how it is.
Learning the manual will give you a sense of security.
That is really important.
Looking for a job is nerve racking.
What? You have a different opinion?
The manual's fine, but you know,
when everyone looks like the same superhero Kintaro
there's something funny.
There all just a bunch of clones in navy blue suits.
I know what you're saying, but
if one person comes in that's different,
what does the company think of him?
Don't they get dropped right away
because they think they're uncooperative?
Therefore it's safe to dress like everyone else.
It's not unreasonable to think like that as a student.
When you guys go out into society,
how will you make it if you go so timidly?
But reality is, if you go study abroad in your third year,
your job hunting will start late,
and it puts you at quite a disadvantage, don't you think.
There isn't any value to the added knowledge and experiences.
This is also because of the negligence of business!
Negligence?
Well, you have a rebuttal?
Anyway, this thing job hunting,
worrying about it this much is useless.
If you think about job hunting,
it's the same as a marriage meeting. It's basically the same.
If you're both putting on airs, what's going to happen?
What do I want to do? What would I be good at?
you think about that, then you look for a company to fulfill that,
and hit them up. That's all there is to it.
Studying abroad? Studying abroad is the same.
If there's something you really want to study,
Even if it's detrimental to job hunting, if it's your interest, go for it.
That's just irresponsible.
Can I ask something else?
A student is accepted at several companies.
But naturally in the interview, they are asked which company they prefer.
Yes. Isn't that just a lie.
What do you think of such a lie?
That kind of lie, you kind of have to tell.
I don't hire such wimps.
I see right through lies like that.
Then, what if they say you were their second choice?
"Your company is my second choice." Saying that's fine.
Do you drop them? Yes, we drop them.
That's right. We're their second choice, those guys,
why would we hire them. You do get it, don't you.
Just the kind of things we expect Mitamura san to say.
What is this. Can't tell lies,
But if you tell the truth, what do you mean, you won't get the job?
Because the world is filled with such paradoxical things,
it's good to get a taste of such paradoxes.
Yes, this is a corporation's true colors.
They're inconsistent, after all, they only think about their own circumstances.
Stop.... Now look,
I am not a representative of all the other businesses out there.
I am just giving you my opinion. I apologize.
But this kind of argument is not new is it?
Oh right.
Coming up, we're doing a seminar on job hunting for 3rd year students.
I'm inviting all of you, absolutely, please come.
Huh? Thank you very much !
Oh and we'll be doing mock interviews.
Please come participate.
A mock interview?
There's nothing to worry about.
Until then, each of you, take a look at yourselves,
find out what you want to do, what you're good at,
think hard about it one more time.
And to that extent, you should also think about what Mitamura san has said.
What do you say to someone like that? For things like that,
the manual is necessary.
Learn that carefully.
That's great. It'll be great practice.
Yes, go for it. Let's do it.
Free fansub by evbo. Do not hardsub or stream.
What? Why are you here?
Oh, welcome home. I'm home.
Yes. What, where's Masami?
Well you know, she left on a trip, that's all.
What? Because her marriage meeting didn't go well,
she went on a "get over a broken heart trip"? Don't know about that.
Somehow, she's OK, look.
"I made up my mind to make an early summer trip to Hokkaido."
I'm envious she has the time to take a "get over a broken heart trip."
What ~ ? You have a broken heart?
Not at all.
It's just that my adrenalin is up, because a rival character has come on the stage.
A supporting actor.
Not yet.
It's still too soft.
Yes.
We're also at the point of selecting candidates.
You will have some good looking new people this year, right.
It feels like so long ago that I was job hunting.
Saejima san, why did you want to become a private secretary?
Didn't particularly want to.
I just wound up in the secretarial division, doing that,
I thought it might be interesting to become his private secretary.
Miki san, why did you become a doctor?
When I was in junior high,
the doctor that operated on my appendix,
was so good looking.
And? Oh, what?
What, that wasn't a sufficient explanation? Oh, no, no.
Well the thing is, I get the feeling that both of you
didn't make a mistake in choosing your careers?
Kyoko san, you chose your path because you like business management, right?
Well I...
Mitamura san has already said it, but.
"Until you've been out in society, don't say you're a full-fledged member of society!"
How cruel. But
that may be true. Huh, you think so?
If I look at how much the students are worried about their futures,
I really want them to be emancipated from that as soon as possible,
or they'll have no choice but continue to graduate school,
somehow, that kind of feeling.
There's always the possibility, to change your life at any time.
If you like what you have, push on.
If you want things to be different, get on a different train.
It's the same with love and work.
Oh...
Push down on it more. Yes?
Right in the middle. In the middle like this?
Right. Like this?
So it's flexible like yakisoba. Oh, yes, huh?
What do I want to do? What would I be good at?
Suddenly everyone's in that mode.
What is it that I'd like to do, and
what would I be good at,
it's hard to figure that out right now.
It's pointless, pointless.
Kenta, you haven't thought about it?
Well, I know what I want to do.
Movies?
Yes.
It's good that you found what you want to do.
Well having found it,
it's a different problem whether I'll be able to do it or not.
It might not be possible.
Huh ~?
Well, I have no talent.
I immediately get rejected in each movie competition I enter.
Being a movie director, is just a dream after all.
Well then, what do you want to do?
Yuri, what do you want to do?
Mmm, I've thought about it, but
somehow... just whatever I guess.
Just whatever?
Whatever, yea.
For footwear, let's go with this wedge sole sandal.
Yes, got it. Yes? Everything else OK?
Yes, it's OK. Well take care of it.
Yes. Good, go with that.
President, there's a small problem. Huh? What's wrong?
What? It's Kobayakawa, what's wrong?
It's this.
"The reckless remark of Tres Fields head of HR"?
It was me ! I'm really sorry !
Huh, what is it?
Yesterday, when a student came to receive a tentative offer,
I suddenly said some harsh things to him.
I'm really sorry. Now, you're turning down our offer!?
You went through the fourth wall!
You like pro wrestling?
Oh, yes. That's why you said, fourth wall.
I didn't! If that was done,
it would be a police matter.
Even thought it's just words, it could be considered extortion.
Just like this, rumors that we're a black enterprise,
will only spread more. Because one job offer was refused,
and you said one sarcastic remark.
You just said one little thing.
As the officer in charge of HR, I apologize. I am so very sorry.
Why did you say such a thing?
We interviewed him several times, thought he was a good student,
certainly thought he's capable.
President, even you had been at his last interview.
Oh certainly, this student did seem to have some good points.
I thought it would be good to make him an offer,
Then he surprised me yesterday when he refused.
Then he said, "Further, because a tentative offer
isn't legally binding, so there shouldn't be a problem." and such.
I'll take responsibility, and submit....
Wait a minute, what are you doing? You can't give me that.
Kobayakawa, put this back in there.
Don't do that, OK.
Oh, yes as the president says. Yes.
But this company called Jobtrial Japan,
this company really irritates me.
Well it's things like this, that progressively tarnish our reputation.
Well there's always something. Can't stop it all...
Oh.
But it really was fun back then.
Yes. We both had our dreams, it was genuine.
But Tajima kun, aren't you doing well.
You started your own company.
I too, was looking for a job once,
Somehow, companies were just full of lies.
Lies?
Well, that is, so much is whitewashed,
I know businesses have to do it, but
actually for me to get into that,
I really had doubts whether I could do it or not.
Because of that, I decided to start my own company.
Tajima kun, you always were an idealist, even then ~.
It's honorable you stick to your principles.
There are principles I didn't stick to. What?
You know,
I was in love with you then.
Huh?
Well, not just that, I had planned to tell you my feelings,
but I completely ignored you. No way.
I never had a clue. Well, I never thought I had a chance,
so I gave up right away. Well look, if you
never say anything...
If I had said anything, was there a chance?
Oh... I wonder?
Hey,
Would you be interested in working for me?
Huh? Why? With your knowledge of business management,
I think you could put it to good use.
Well, that might be impossible.
You are aiming to be a full professor here, right?
Oh, yes.
Oh, excuse me a sec.
Yes.
Thanks President Mitamura. Huh?
Yes. Oh, yes, got it.
I'll ask. Yes, well thank you.
Who? Was it Mitamura san? Yes.
What was that about? Oh it's about work.
It seems he has some interest in me. Oh is that right.
Sorry to be late. Thanks for taking the time.
No. Please, please.
Oh, I'll have the same. Yes, coming right up.
What business did you want to discuss?
Yea.
On your company's website, Our company is....
Oh, about the reckless remark of the head of HR? Yea.
With that, you have some request? Could you please remove it?
Huh? The person has given it some reflection,
It wasn't particularly to the level of an assault.
Certainly it's not a good situation. As it is, your reputation will deteriorate,
and you won't be able to attract talent,
and the reputation of the whole company will be damaged.
Yes that's right.
Understood, I'll remove it.
Thank you very much.
Then, is it alright if we talk some business?
Yea, please, please.
This here is the price list
for covering the cost of removing unfavorable criticism from our website.
Of course.
Oh it costs quite a bit, doesn't it.
Thinking of the amount of damage, it's quite cheap.
Understood. We'll pay it.
I'll have someone else from my company contact you.
Thank you very much.
Well, after all, you do have a good business.
How did you know?
that we're this kind of business.
I just took a look at you company's balance sheets.
Your student job hunting activities are heavily subsidized
and not very profitable,
most of your profit comes from advertising. Then
and then it hit me while I was looking at your various websites.
You were getting paid by companies to remove from your site
the unfavorable criticism of those companies.
I guessed that was your company's main source of income.
Not surprising, President Mitamura.
If this business doesn't make money, it's reputation will deteriorate.
If it brings in money, the image gets better,
I can attract talent too. It's not like I'm breaking any laws either.
Do you despise me?
Despise ? Not at all.
It's a brilliant business model, don't you think?
Like that, you can revive a company, you've created a truly original business model.
I love things like that!
Thank you for your praise.
But I'm really annoyed about having to pay!!
But, cause we're on the brink, what can I do.
From now on, we'll become good business partners.
Really.
Well, so we're paying.
We'll pay. Then we'll start the process.
Please.
Are you sure you're fine with it? Paying money for that.
It's irritating, but what can we do.
Yes. Oh thanks.
Huh, what's that.
Somehow this feels wrong, you buying me a drink.
It's OK, once in awhile.
About job hunting?
What's the forecast? Are you worried?
Yea, I am.
What? But Ryosuke, you
said you wanted to start your own company, am I right?
Yes, I said that. Oh.
But, recently, somehow, what is it I really want to do,
what would I be good at? Oh.
I've always thought, I want to start a company,
even though I seriously said it, somehow I don't have the confidence.
It's just that starting a company,
I can't even think of what to do, nothing comes to mind at all.
After all, I want to become rich,
want to be popular with girls, Somehow, because of that,
is why I said I want to start a company.
You want to be rich, be popular with girls?
That's really stupid of me, isn't it?
No, that's noble! Huh?
Motivation like that, to satisfy your desires, is very important.
With all you young people now, those desires are weak.
Just be normal, take the easy road.
Your desires can be be a motivating force
for you to do great things.
Is that right? It is. You know,
starting a company yourself, and having it survive,
is no ordinary feat!
Of all the companies started, there are only a few that survive.
They get loaded with debt, and most go bankrupt.
It is then. Your own desire,
makes you take risks, it gives
you the strength to overcome all the troubles.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know, what my real feelings are.
Much less to say, what is it I can do, no idea.
Somehow, I'm envious of you.
Huh? I'm a bit older
and such, I've come to understand a few things.
Like... like at these times, doing this would be good,
if I go there, it's dangerous, when it's good to stop and such.
Little by little, I've learned a little more, maybe.
Well, that's fine, OK.
Sometimes it's a pain to understand ~.
Huh? When you don't know,
it's fun to just plunge in with your heart pounding.
Is that right? Of course.
As much as you can, have fun with what you don't know.
Well, even though you say that...
Well, somehow that's cheered me up.
You think?
Hello. Oh Natsumi, what's up?
Uh, oh, really? Oh, what company?
Oh got it. Thanks, bye now~.
Nakanishi san got an offer.
Nakanishi? Yea.
"I'm such a worthless person."
"I'm so worthless!"
He put in an application to a highly rated company he found on Tajima san's website,
and was given a tentative offer.
Nonetheless, Tajima san's place has some credibility
in assessing things.
Nevertheless, it might be easier to do that than start a business.
Oh, right. What company was it?
I think it was called Staff Hit.
Staff Hit? Yea.
It seems he got his wish, maybe..
A wooden bear. And then this
Salmon. We can't eat all that.
It's OK.
Your freezer's big enough for it.
And we can eat it with mom.
My freezer is just a storage locker.
The man at that market, he was unusually kind to me!
Could it be that I've fallen in love...
Of course he'd be kind to you, buying all his stock.
Don't say things to wreck my dream~!
Get a grasp on reality. ... really.
"never even gotten to a final interview."
"I don't know, what my real feelings are."
"Much less to say, what is it I can do, no idea."
"Do you despise me?"
Well, today, we're going to
do our best to help out the students.
Yes. Yes.
Oh, can I make an introduction?
This is a fellow student from my college days,
a current lecturer at Jyoto University, Akiyama Kyoko san.
Oh thank you.
Today at the invitation of all my younger students,
I came to get a tour of the place.
Actually I'm putting my moves on her. Huh?
I want her to work here.
But you know, she hasn't answered me.
Everyone, discreetly give out an aura, "come work here."
From your environment, what kind
of things have you come to value?
Yes, my motto is
I will be proactive in tackling anything.
Therefore I'm seen as a positive, proactive person.
My friends have said that I'm a real straight shooter,
I think you will find that I am that way.
Oh, I see.
This answer right now, is very exemplary. Even his strong points,
were asserted without a degree of arrogance,
and the main points were easy to understand.
Thank you, great job.
Well, let's move on to the next person.
Is there anyone that would like to try a mock interview?
Yes, yes, yes !
Is there anyone that would like to try a mock interview?
Yes, yes, yes !
Well.... you are.... Yes, please.
Please.
Eh, ~ I'm a freshman at Jyoto University in business management, Mitamura Yukio.
I would like to try doing a mock interview,
Glad to make your acquaintance. However....
Well, it's fine isn't it, after all I am a student.
Right?
Alright, let's do it.
Great! good. Thank you.
Is that right, well then.
This mock interview is for this company, in other words,
you'll be interviewing to join Jobtrial Japan,
I will conduct the interview as president.
Understood. Then let's get started.
Yes. First off,
Can we ask the reason why you would like to join our company?
Reason, yes.
In the marketplace of job hunting, I admire the splendid business model
where profits can be gained by selling shovels
to both business and students,
certainly, it is my desire to be helpful
in that pursuit. Shovel?
At the time of the California Gold Rush,
the most profitable person was not one who struck gold,
but the person who sold shovels to the prospectors, that story,
you know that, right?
Oh, oh ~ that shovel? Right right , that.
Then I assume these words are a compliment?
Of course !
Well then, if you have an opinion on how we can improve
our business model? To improve,
President, haven't you personally thought of some things?
Huh? For example, yesterday,
a certain student got a unofficial offer from a company called Staff Hit.
This company several years ago, was the prototypical black enterprise,
when an employee died from overwork, the president of WH Holdings
reorganized it as a new company, right.
Huh?
Then I did a little research on this company Staff Hit.
Then, unbelievably, it's a black enterprise too!
they think nothing of exploiting there employees and throwing them away, further
they are ingenious at covering up the truth,
and appear to be an ideal company.
Wasn't your company started
to gain the trust of the students and use that
to send these students to these so called
black enterprises, am I wrong? Right.
Well, right now in society,
the pressures on black enterprises are quite strong.
And it keeps getting worse.
After this, the real black enterprises
need to keep up their appearance, as if they
they are not a black enterprise, if not, they can't find employees.
That is where, your company is the agent,
using the students to help out.
Well ~. Aren't you just a mirror manager?
If I was a student, absolutely, I would want to join a company like that.
After all, being so deceived,
it would be better to be the one deceiving.
Right, right, right.
Tajima san?
Did you just come do this, to say that?
It's only a mock interview, right.
I was only stating my reason for wanting to join your company.
Yes, well the interview is over. Is that right?
Well then....
why don't we stop with the game we've played till now?
You have something?
Our negotiation the other day. Forget it.
I won't pay you anything. Huh?
Do you know why I said I would pay you?
I don't have time to waste doing business
with a punk like you!
If I had paid you,
you would just think of other ways to get more.
If I were to pay you, you would start thinking other companies are the same.
You're not just satisfied with the companies,
you eat off the plates of the weak students too,
you're the lowest scum.
I can't overlook such a guy.
You too,
are a genuine black son of a bitch!
He's screwed us. We've been deceived !
Ha, what...
What is black.
Me...
I haven't done anything wrong!
Everyone, it seems he has something to say, let's listen to him.
In this world, you either eat or be eaten.
If you are timid, you are finished!
You losers, you're just food to be eaten!
You gotta be kidding.
Hey, hey... Hey, just wait wait,
why you leaving, hey wait.
Listen, hey!
Hey, this world,
is controlled by those that have money and power !
To get a part of that,
you have to do some things that are not pretty.
Listen? I was just trying to help you all get out in society,
that was my goal,
we have a success model ! Sucking off students?
You just don't understand, really,
You and you and you, all of you,
all of you are, are losers !
Hey, wait, hey listen to me.
I'm not finished with the speech yet.
Say Akiyama. Akiyama, stop for a second.
Stop them, everyone.
You liar !
Let's go. Yes.
Well, that was really intense.
You think I'm an idiot, don't you.
I was so deceived by that man.
I think one of your good points is your purity ~.
Stop messing with me. It's true !
I'm completely the opposite. You get hurt believing people.
I don't think it's bad being like that. Oh Mitamura san,
what is real about you and what's a lie,
I really don't know. Humans are like that, aren't they.
You're an extreme case. Oh, right.
Hey Kyoko Senpai,
didn't you say you were writing a book exposing my company
as a black enterprise? Well how is it coming?
Oh, I was thinking of giving up on that.
Huh, why ? Well, just that
your company doesn't seem to be all that black,
and you personally, well, I'm really not so sure.
Is that right? Yes.
Mmm, is that so?
You should do it.
Huh?
I'll collaborate.
What do you mean by that? It's a book exposing
that bad things about you and your company! It's alright don't you think?
It's better that there's one book like that,
so I can be informed. I don't know what you mean.
The boundary of whether it's black or not,
actually, nobody really knows, do they?
And despite this, well, saying this isn't black,
just to keep up appearances, what purpose is there in that?
If it's black, then call it black.
So then, when I hear you say black,
what the heck does it mean to you?
I'm just thinking it would be interesting
to ask that of society once more.
Are you really serious?
Let's see, am I?
White or black want to find out?
You want to get married? That's really irritating,
please stop. Always nagging, get married, get married.
You don't want any retribution, now do you.
It's useless to threaten me.
It's already to late for treatment.
Even in the teachings of Buddha, I am totally opposed to this.
