Apply for a Job in Japan with a Video Resume!

“Writing a Japanese resume is so difficult...”
If you feel that way, we recommend trying a video resume—also called a “self-introduction video.”

■What Is a Japanese Video Resume?

A video resume lets you show your motivation and Japanese speaking skills to companies.
It helps companies understand your personality, not just your written information.
In fact, about 50% of Japanese university students create one when job hunting. It’s a very common and effective tool in Japan today.

■Why Is a Video Resume Important?

・It shows your Japanese conversation level clearly
・You can show your charm and personality, which are hard to express in writing

Candidates who submit a video resume have a higher chance of getting hired compared to those who don't.
Companies are looking forward to watching your video!

■Tips to Make a Great Video Resume

① Speak with energy!

Do not wear a mask. Speak brightly and cheerfully.
A smile creates a strong, positive impression on hiring managers.

② Speak in Japanese!

Try to speak in Japanese as much as possible.
At minimum, say your name, where you live, and what kind of job you want in Japanese.

③ Face the camera directly!

Set your camera or phone at eye level and record from the front.
A clean background (like a white wall) makes the video easier to watch.
