The interviewer was a cold lady who does not have any social skills. She talked in a very strange way and did not give any useful feedback about the demo lesson.

Entrevista
You are given a mere 10 minutes to give a demo lesson to two students at the same time. You are not given any information on their school teaching method. You are expected to read their minds of what they want. You must teach two students who have different levels of English ability. One is much higher than the other. You must use their antiquated materials. After your 10 minutes, they give you feed back on how you did in their eyes.

After the 10 minute demo lesson, they asked me why I did not teach more than I did in the 10 minutes they allowed?

Entrevista
I sent a resume with a cover letter, and they contacted me the next day. It was Obon, so the interview was set for after the holiday. I was told that I would need to do a 10-minute demo lesson. When I asked to see the demo material so that I could prepare, they refused, saying that they only give candidates 10 minutes of preparation time.

I was not asked any questions about my teaching philosophy or my teaching skills. The interviewer merely went over my resume and asked me a few questions about how long I had been in Japan, why I came, and how long I had worked at each of my past jobs. Then I was given a textbook, and the interviewer attempted to tell me how to use the textbook in the demo lesson. It seems she expected me to simply run through the text exercises. I then understood why they had not given me the material in advance - they were not expecting someone who would actually teach. They were expecting someone who did not know how to teach and would use the textbook as a crutch.
