Recently, I went to Osaka to take part in a company interview which had us work in groups to assess our oral and leadership skills.The theme that was presented to us was this: there are 10 people in a spaceship and the spaceship has broken down. As a rescuer you have to help them, but you can only rescue only 5 people. Who will you rescue, and who will you leave behind? As extra information we were given lists of each person`s profile. All the passengers had various backgrounds: for example, one girl was a university student, and another person was a famous politician. We all had to come up with our own idea and present it to the group one by one. We discussed this for 30 minutes, and at the end we arrived at a conclusion by taking into consideration their age, not their background. It was the first I had such an interview and I enjoyed it very much. (written by student Mr. Kajitani, edited by Prof. Simon Smith)
