When would be a good day for you to come for the interview?

How to answer in Japan

★ Offer two or more days you can come. If you give only one, and it does not suit them, the call gets longer. ★ They are asking which day you can come for the interview, not which day you can start working.

⭕️ A good answer

I can come next Wednesday, or Friday afternoon.

❌ Not enough

“I can start work tomorrow!” — they asked which day you can come for the interview, not which day you can start working. This mix-up is common.
