So my progress is still developing, so I thought I’d post an update of sorts! God willing I don’t jinx it lol
So my meeting with the first Jimusho didn’t result in anything, not even a kind rejection letter D: But later the next week I had gotten two more interviews. A little discouraged I debated not going to either of them but then I figured I didn’t really have anything left to lose.
The first interview was actually in a cafe (it was Sunday so most traditional offices are closed) and after being told about the job and conditions they gave me my managers line contact information and if there were any jobs available I would be contacted. I got an offer a few days later with a pay site called Caribbean, Ive seen it around a few times.
I wanted to accept the offer, but it came after my second interview with another jimusho (on the following Monday, so I went to their office proper). The first thing the guy said was “you know this an AV agency right?” He seemed really surprised haha Same as my very first interview, basic information, questions about what I want to do/don’t want to do etc. In this case I was expecting a few snaps same as last time and having to wait for an email.
The man told me however that he was going to schedule a proper studio shoot for photos (to make profile for the site) and it’s set for next Monday (28th). After the shoot, he said he would like to schedule a meeting with a maker soon during my next available day. I was told to wear a nice pair of panties, and come with no makeup on, as they do hair/make at the studio. I think this will be my first time wearing a mask in Japan
Back to the Caribbean offer, it sounds like Jimusho number two is serious about adding me on, so I’m unsure if I can take freelance work outside of the company while I’m with them. I’ll be asking the manager who interviewed me last week to confirm during the shoot, and asked them to wait for my response. All in all a very quick and exciting turn of events, I didn’t expect any of what’s happened so far so fingers crossed everything goes as planned!
Edit: I apologize for writing a novel orz
