Studio Ghibli director and co-founder Hayao Miyazaki is as famous for his accomplished repertoire of world-famous anime films as he is for his outspoken opinions on the anime industry.
Itoso, who worked for Miyazaki at Studio Ghibli, recalled the time when he first applied for the job and attended an interview for the company, back when he was just 19 years old.
Upon hearing this, Miyazaki smiled, and after the interview Itoso was the sole successful applicant who landed a job with the studio.
So if you want to apply for a job with Studio Ghibli, or any anime studio for that matter, don’t be afraid to show some original thinking when it comes to answering questions during the interview process.
