Video Resume example

I don't have the JLPT certification...

I've lived in Japan for 10 years, so I can speak Japanese. However, I don't have the JLPT certification, so I was worried that no one would believe I could speak Japanese. I used the Video Resume to show companies my Japanese skills, and I was called in for an interview!

I,Sさん（Indonesia）

I practiced many times before I filmed it!

I just came to Japan, so I can't speak Japanese very well. I was able to practice a lot and retake the video many times. A company that saw me putting in so much effort into my speaking contacted me, and I got an interview. Now I'm working and continuing to study Japanese!

R,Nさん（Vietnam）

When I told them I love Japanese food...

I love Japanese food, so I talked about my desire to work in a Japanese restaurant; because of that, I now work in a Japanese pub! There are a lot of foreign tourists, so I get the opportunity to use English,too!
