Consult

Career consultation

We offer a wide range of consultations, including consultation regarding career paths and qualification acquisition, as well as concerns about impatience, anxiety, and worries during job hunting, as well as guidance on specific job hunting methods such as correcting resumes and entry sheets and mock interviews. It doesn't matter how trivial it is. Please feel free to use our private booths, where your career counselor will take care of your concerns. Online consultation is also possible.

How to effectively utilize career counseling...

You can make your consultation more meaningful by doing what you can and researching in advance, such as organizing your consultation details, preparing the necessary materials, and drafting your resume and entry sheet.
Particularly from fall to spring of the following year, when preparations for job hunting are in full swing, consultations become crowded and it can be difficult to make an appointment. Be sure to use it in a planned manner and with plenty of time to spare, starting in the early grades.

Seniors come to us for advice like this

  • “I don’t know how to self-analyze” “I can’t think of my strengths”
  • “I don’t know the industry I want to work in” “I can’t narrow down the list of companies”
  • “I would like to see your resume and entry sheet.”
  • “It’s difficult to get documents approved” “I can’t promote myself well”
  • “I would like to practice for the interview test (mock interview).”

If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult the staff.
