Applied through a recruiter. You get a phone call from Keyence's HR dept. after initial screening. Questions are just standard availability, do you own a car etc. No pressure in this phone interview apart from "where do you see yourself in 5 yrs" type of question, where you should answer accordingly. After the phone call you have to pass the BMCT-II, study up on it but its High school level physics. take the online tests beforehand if unprepared, they are cheap. Afterwards interview with Hiring manager and sales manager. One interviewer was from the location I was applying for, the other was in Osaka, where the main office is. I would stress to learn a bit about the company, but not to vomit the information. The interview has questions you might not be ready for, but answer truthfully and there shouldn't be an issue there. If you pass this round of interview, you get scheduled a 2nd interview where it's a mock sales pitch. They give you a product brochure and you must present it to a potential customer. READ PRESENT NOT "DO A PRESENTATION". Having a bit of experience in sales through a mentor, the first thing NOT to do is vomit technical jargon and features. You are trying to help the potential client, not bombard him with info. Again, I didn't get the job offer, so if this factor is what disqualified me, the fact I didn't try to shove the product down the customer's throat, that says alot about the sales tactics at Keyence, but I am just speculating, they seem like a great company to work for. The interviewers are there to see potential, not perfection as somebody else so aptly mentionned. I never felt over-scrutinized by the interviewers and they all seemed very nice and professional, ready to give me feedback after the mock sales pitch. From what I've seen, they are looking for new guys to train and mold to the Keyence's way of doing sales. Nothing wrong with that, but one error I did and I am quite certain was a faux-pas was the fact I mentionned I was mentored in sales previously, and I had quite an extensive knowledge of the company and its business practice. Also, I may have been too "cocky" during interview as stress transformed into confidence. If I were to redo it all over again, I would try to fit more their expectations as a "fresh off uni, new hire".
