This sample is for structure only—no upload, grading, or ghost-writing. The on-device tool isolates drafts by current account/guest scope but does not sync them to the cloud.

PITFALLS

Pitfall quick-ref

Freshness, order, proofreading, submission format — points that can't be circled on one spot, gathered as a read-only reference.

Photo freshness: The ID photo is usually a recent one taken within about three months; for most job-hunting cases a recruit suit + plain background is the safe choice, but follow the applying company's specification [要確認]. A cropped casual snapshot makes the whole resume look unprepared.
History order & gaps: List history chronologically with official school names; international students most often omit home-country schooling, language school, and research-student periods. Don't force-fill gaps, but expect them in interviews.
Typos & proofreading: A wrong character in the company name, misused keigo, or a leftover previous-company name are instant-rejection reasons. Set it aside, then reread character by character after a break.
Submission & deadline: PDF upload, email attachment, or a mailed sealed original? Get the format wrong and it never arrives. The deadline, days-to-issue, and submission method vary by school and company — follow the application guidelines and the school window [要確認]; the date on the sample is an example.
Residence status & work: Wording for post-graduation plans and work eligibility must match your actual residence status; never put a residence-card or passport number on a resume. This is exactly the field international students get questioned on.
Name & school-name consistency: Keep the romanized name, furigana, and the official + translated name of your home-country school consistent across all materials; use a uniform polite style (です・ます) and avoid translationese.
Which form: Even among resumes there's the MHLW form and a company's free format, the latter sometimes adding research-content or specific sections. One extra note: even one company may switch forms across selection rounds, so re-confirm which they accept before each submission.

SPEC

Size specs: ID photo & seal

Sizes are common guidelines — the employer's or municipality's specification always wins [要確認]. Diagrams are hand-drawn mockups; the three seals share one scale.

ID-photo dimensions

Resume photos are 36–40 × 24–30 mm — 40×30 is the standard; don't grab a passport photo (45×35 mm) by mistake.
Taken within 3 months, plain background, chest-up facing front with a little space above the head; a recruit suit is the safe choice.
Write your name on the back before pasting (a fallen photo finds its way home); for online uploads follow the specified pixels and file size [要確認].

Seal diameters

Nin-in for everyday sign-offs (10.5–12 mm), bank seal for accounts (12–13.5 mm), jitsuin registered at city hall (13.5–15 mm as a guide); larger reads more formal.
Self-inking stamps (shachihata) are usually rejected on formal documents — use a carved seal with red ink paste.
Modern resumes mostly have no seal field — follow the form if one is required. Katakana/romaji seals can be carved, but jitsuin registration rules depend on the municipality [要確認].
