Is there any etiquette I should know for job interview in Japan?
Yes — Shitsurei shimasu — entering the room. When you enter an interview room in Japan, knock first, then say "shitsurei shimasu" (excuse me) as you open the door and step in. Wait to be told where to sit rather than sitting down right away. These small acts of politeness make a strong first impression. Japanese Talk adds a short culture note like this on the lines that need one.
