ALT Interview Questions (Borderlink)

[@caltonmukahiwa1405]

Hi Michelle, how are you. I trust you are well. I am watching your video from Zimbabwe and it is giving me some insights and clear all the fears that I'm having. I am set to having my first preliminary interview with borderlink. Honestly I do not what to expect as I am watching all different kind of videos on youtube with different opinions. What advice could you say, just recently graduated from college. Thank you for your time explaining your experience with borderlink. I appreciate it a lot.

[@michellesenseienglishteach9194]

Hello Thanks for the kind comment

[@caltonmukahiwa1405]

@michellesenseienglishteach9194 it's okay, Michelle, any advice for my first preliminary interview that you would like to share with me. I would gladly appreciate it.

Hi michelle! you mentioned you'd post about the results. hope you cleared the final interview!

Hi. I was offered but I didn't accept. My salary now is 375,000 yen a month in my current company, and the salary borderlink offered was ¥220,000 before tax

@@michellesenseienglishteach9194 thank you so much for responding. I'm not sure if it is appropriate to ask, but i was wondering if the current company is interac?

[@michellesenseienglishteach9194]

@@ankitadutta6461 nope. I am an Eikaiwa. I have been with the company for 6 years now that's why my salary is higher than entry level. With the Eikaiwa school I am working in right now, we get salary increase every year

Hi, Teacher Michelle! Have you undergone two sets of interviews? The preliminary and one-on-one interview with Borderlink? Did they also ask you to do a short demo lesson? Thank you so much for allotting time to answer my questions.

Please reply . While you moved from your country to Japan how much money did you carry ? Did the company provided and helped you with all those Visa and needed documents for moving? currently I have zero balance in my bank account as I'm unemployed , 22 years, took english major and graduated just last year .

[@michellesenseienglishteach9194]

My situation is much different as compared to now. I flew to Japan way back 2017. Currency exchange was higher that time. And we know about the inflation of prices and commodities. I had 100,000 yen Pocket money when I flew in. Also, I am not an ALT. I am an Eikaiwa. There are other videos on my channel that would answer your questions about how I got hired. Please refer to those videos because I made them to answer questions like this. Have a good one!☺️
