Read this article to study Japanese and get JLPT N1
This section provides detailed explanations of the words commonly used in interview and the proper way to use them in the workplace.
In fact, there are five major types of companies, and it is necessary to distinguish between them in each situation.
Kigyou / Onsha / Kisha / Heisha / Tousha
企業 御社 貴社 弊社 当社
There are 5 of them, so it’s very difficult…
However, the only vocabulary used in interview is Onsha, so it is good to memorize this only.
We will explain each in detail.
How to use each

企業・会社
The term “Kigyou” has the same meaning as “Kaisha“, but the Kigyou sounds larger than Kaisha. It is an image that there is a large Japanese company in the frame of a large company.
Japan’s only major business enterprise=Uniqlo Company Ltd. and Softbank Company Ltd.
Japan’s Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises =(Examples) “Nihongo kaisha”
御社・貴社
Onsha and Kisha are used to refer to the other party’s company.
Onsha: Used to mean “your company” in conversation with the other party.
Kisha: Used to mean “your company” in resume and e-mail correspondence.
When you are in a conversation with a interviewer, use Onsha when referring to the company you applied to.
For example, 「~なので御社を志望しました。」
Use kisha in the section of your resume where you write your reasons for applying for a job.
For example, 「~なので貴社を志望しました。」
当社・弊社
Tousha and Heisha are used to refer to a ompany that you are working in.
Tousha: Used to refer to a company you are working.
【私の会社は→当社は】
Heisha: This is a humble term to put a company you work in a lower position and your partner’s company in a higher position.
In situations where it is not necessary to be humble, such as speeches at company meetings or company websites, we use Tousha.
For example, 「当社の強みを活かした○○をしましょう。」
In sales business and in conversations with business partners, we use Heisha when we humble a company you work in and put the other company in a superior position.
For example, 「弊社のシステムを使っていただければ御社の業務効率も更に上がると思います。」

Interview practice is the key to success

The words you use to find a job or change jobs are completely different from the words you use in everyday conversation.
Many business Japanese words are used in interview.
Understanding and using these words will bring your Japanese to a more business level.
However, it is necessary to be careful not to use business Japanese unnecessarily, as it will make it too difficult to use them.
Preparation and practice are very important for a successful interview.
Prepare your answers to the interviewer’s questions in advance.
In addition, practice interview questions at least 10 times, or as many times as possible.
You can memorize the answers to the questions by doing repeatedly.
Even if you have the skills and experience, there is no point if you cannot pass them on.
Make a strong appeal and win a job offer.
