Japanese interview

Hello, tomorrow (June 10th) I'll be giving an interview in the morning to NYK Line ( http://www2.nykline.com/). They want me to be the general manager's secretary (i'm guessing ŽG–ð). I'm thinking it'll be a good idea to make business cards with my name on it in English and Japanese.... Any other tips? Maybe things to add on a resume/cover letter? How do the Japanese write resumes anyway? Also my keigo is a bit shabby... Any good phrases to use? Thanks ahead of time!

Do you know the special form of resume only for the Japanese? It might be help you. If you can access the Japanese book store near your place, you can get it and fill it out! Good luck!

You want to be or they want you to be? If it's the later then what are you worrying about =) Just be yourself, you already have it by the sounds of it.

ok i had the interview! *phew* I forgot to tell you that i'm in the US and it's a branch of the company here.
How i found the job was actually another company called Top-US. They suggested me to NYK as their secretary and organized an interview.
I did the best I could.. but I forgot that in Japanese business, there's many men that are older (60s) and I can't understand ojisan japanese for the life of me! The younger one looked like he was in his 30s and I understood him just fine... but the older one has a higher position (of course) so he did most of the talking. Though... he mostly explained about the company and rarely asked me any questions. I dunno how i did.. I don't have a good feeling about it.
Now I'm looking for a book that can help me with Japanese business (including interviews!!). Anyone know a good one? Something interesting to read?

thanks for the suggestions but I was thinking about a book more language based? You see, I'll probably be working for a company that's Japanese but is in America... But I'll still need my Japanese language. I've been to Japan already for a long time, so I'm not a beginner to their culture.
