I think most useful and common Japanese phrase meaning “nice to meet you” is Hajimemashite.

This sounds not so formal nor too casual, so you can use it to almost anyone (even to your would-be employer).

If you are John Smith, say;
 
Hajimemashite (John) Smith desu. Yoroshikuonegaishimasu
 
Yoroshikuonegaishimasu could be mean, “thank you,” “cordiary yours”.
 
Only hajumemashite can work when you meet someone.

Konbanwa is not used often. Maybe least frequent among greetings.
amaterasu
Kami is very casual in Japan, but full of respect

Frequently used “daijoubu” could be ambiguous (which I don’t like)

Japanese people do not bow so often. Instead, we do eshaku.
