Japanese Resume ( Rirekisho )

"Rirekisho" is a traditional Japanese resume in a standard two-page form. It is more of a personal profile than a way to show your talents and what you can bring to the job. Rirekisho need to be completed, preferably in your handwriting and in Japanese language.

  Based on a hand writing the Japanese recruiters can learn a lot about a person. If you are unable to do this, then ask someone else to write it for you, but you must indicate this on the top of the form. Your photo should be attached.

 
A rirekisho, should accompany any application to a Japanese company to show awareness of and respect for Japanese custom.

The japanese rirekisho can be purchased at any stationery store, the stationery department of the supermarket, or even the 100 yen shop.

If you have never tried to fill out a rirekisho before it is probably a good idea to buy the first package at the 100 yen shop for practice.
