Entrance Exam Preparation Week

Since the flight before mine was canceled, I was a little nervous, but I'm glad I made it back to Tokyo safely last night ^^

Starting today, it’s entrance exam week. I’ll be tied up from morning till night supervising exams and conducting interviews.

It seems like my robot double would be better at handling the exam proctoring, but I'll do my best as a flesh-and-blood human.

With the number of applicants continuing to rise, KMD has switched to all-online interviews since the pandemic. While the introduction of AI seems likely to lead to better matching, real people will continue to handle this for the time being.

To all the students taking the exam: Relax and do your best!
