How often do you want to go home?

How to answer in Japan

★ In some countries, people are taught that answering “every year” makes employers uneasy. Answer honestly, but know how it will be heard here.

⭕️ A good answer

I would like to go home once every three or four years.

❌ Not enough

“I want to go home every year.” Honest, but employers hear it as “this person will not stay long.”
