>> Home>> For University Officers (in English)	For Students (in Japanese)

Students in Japan usually start job-hunting in the fall of their junior year, when they embark on a succession of career guidance seminars, company seminars, exams and job interviews. Many receive job offers as early as a year before graduation. This timing conflicts with the academic schedules of overseas universities, making it difficult for their students to participate.
