I asked Job Interview Questions to the students of the university of Otago with Nguyen. It was my first time to interview strangers. I was a little nervous but Nguyen has so much confidence. I asked to some people, but I couldn't hear what they said. So I was lucky to be her partner.

Because Japanese tend to think formal suit is important for getting a job, I was surprised, too.
