Recruitment process

4.Japanese oral test (it takes only 15 min, carried out automatically through a phone call)

Video interview. Basic. One question in Japanese. I was very prepared for the Japanese questions as I have read reviews about it. Other questions are pretty easy but this was my first job interview so I got very nervous and felt like I did not do that well. Still waiting for an answer.

Entrevista
I applied through Rakuten's recruitment website where I was required to submit an ES (Entrysheet). On there I had to answer questions about what my job seeking criteria is and why I want to work for Rakuten. There was also an optional question that asked me to describe my experiences using Rakuten's services. The last part of the ES was to fill out information about my education background and any work experiences I have. After submitting the ES, there were also an aptitude test and a personality test to complete.
Rakuten informed me through email 2 days after I sent in my ES and told me to do a pre-recorded interview since I am not located in Japan. For every question I was given about 30 seconds to think about my response and roughly 2 minutes to record my answer. You can choose to answer in either English or Japanese. There were 5 questions in total that were pretty basic and expected but for the last question I was specifically asked to answer in Japanese.
I'm still waiting for the result as I just finished my first interview.

Entrevista
3 rounds of interview, with 1 online test, 1 Japanese oral test, 1 essay and 1 video recorded interview for Japanese language level test.
Basic questions through the interview. And I did the first round on site in the career forum, and the rest of them through skype.
The first two rounds were 70% the same, but deeper illustration and new thoughts are necessary so that the answers would not be exactly the same. The last round only last 15mins for me.
