How to pass a con cafe interview? A former recruiter teaches you! A comprehensive guide to con cafe and maid cafe interviews!!

I want to work at a con cafe! But I have no idea about the interview! What should I pay attention to? This is a must-read for people like you!

We've put together some important information that can be used at everything from maid cafes to alcohol-focused con cafes!

In order to pass a Con Cafe interview, you will need to make special preparations that are different from those required for a typical part-time job interview.

During the interview, not only will you be thoroughly checked for your motivation and personality, but also your appearance and compatibility with the store.

Careful advance preparation is the key to success!

Preliminary research

The most important thing about a maid cafe interview is to have a deep understanding of the establishment you are applying to.

Interviewers gauge the applicant's motivation and seriousness by checking how much research they have done about the store!!

Before your interview, be sure to check the store's official website and social media to understand the concept, atmosphere, and characteristics of the staff!

We also recommend that you actually visit the store as a customer and experience the store's atmosphere and customer service style firsthand.

If you are required to submit a resume, it is important to write it carefully, prepare a photo ID, and fill in all the necessary fields properly. Avoid sloppy resumes or ones with lots of blank spaces.

To be safe, write your name on the back of your ID photo!

Appearance and grooming preparation

looks

Another important point to note when interviewing for a maid cafe or con cafe is that looks are a factor.

No matter how good the other aspects are and how well it matches the store, it's difficult to get a job unless the looks meet a certain standard.

Thoroughly research makeup, dieting, and the look that suits you! You can create a "cute" look!!

Tips for choosing clothes

You can wear casual clothes that suit the temperature!
Choose clothes that highlight your charm points, such as a miniskirt for your legs or clothes that show off your waist.

Let's wear new clothes, not old ones! It's better for your mental health too.

Makeup and hairstyle preparation

Use all your strength and apply your makeup with the utmost care.
The makeup that's popular at maid cafes is quite flashy, so it's okay to go a little heavier than usual!

This is generally useful information, but if you have long hair and aren't used to curling it, it's best not to do it! There's a risk of failure, and it could take time to recover, which could cause you to be late.

If you use a straightening iron, oil your hair and spray it with shine, it will look amazing!!


Also, let's all try our best to style our hair!! If you don't usually style your hair, don't overdo it!

OK? Let's go with this~~~~!!

Before the interview

Prepare for standard questions

The questions you'll be asked are pretty much the same!

• Self-introduction
• Self-Promotion
• Motivation
• Previous part-time work experience (especially in the Moe industry)
• Available working hours and days
• Whether or not you can show your face on websites and social media
  
  

It's a good idea to be prepared to answer any question you may be asked!
It's better to speak in your own words than to memorize everything.

In addition to the content of what you're saying, they're also looking to see if your face is lively and attractive while you're talking, so be sure to pay attention to your facial expressions too!

If the store has a cute concept, it's recommended to use gestures while speaking, as this will make you look cute!　

Tips to increase your success rate

Guessing and directing the "desired character"

It is very important to think about the type of person the store is looking for. Based on the information obtained from the preliminary research,The kind of people the store is looking forWe infer that...
A place to promote yourselfHuh?! What a coincidence! I am exactly that kind of person!Let's create this effect!

If a store has multiple interviewers, there will definitely be certain hiring standards, or in other words, a manual, so I think it's quite effective!

If the manager is conducting the interview himself, it is important to look at social media and think about what would be well-received during the interview and prepare accordingly!

Shift Conditions

The most helpful condition for a shift manager is, "I can come to work anytime, but I'm okay with fewer shifts."
If you can, say so. Even if you can only work two days a week, say "two to three days a week."

This can also be used in regular part-time job interviews! But don't lie!

Finally

Advance preparation is very important for interviews at maid cafes and con cafes! After preparing a lot, don't forget to smile on the day of the interview and actively show off your individuality!!

Working as a maid cafe staff member is a very fun job.

I hope that you, who have read this article, will be able to get accepted into the store you want to work at!
