Verified facts

First confirm the facts shared by every version. Personal responsibilities, team results, and project status must stay consistent.

Shared facts from one experience

Experience provided by the applicant

Project and dates: September to December 2025: a campus library reservation app built in a software engineering course.
Team and personal responsibilities: Four-person team. The applicant was a member responsible for backend interfaces, the database, and organizing integration information.
Problem encountered: Different interpretations of reservation times, book status, and error response rules caused the screen and backend to produce different results for the same action.
Personal actions: Organized operation steps and checked fields, types, blank values, and error responses one by one; adjusted reservation and cancellation interfaces, added input checks, and recorded edge cases.
Team results: Checked 28 input combinations and recorded and fixed three types of mismatch. The team presented a working version on schedule at the end of the term and submitted interface documentation and test records.
Scope of results: A class presentation. No evidence of a production launch, user numbers, or commercial benefit was provided.

Self promotion

Self-PR

Use one specific action to show the strength, then explain how the applicant hopes to use it at work. Preserve the evidence when changing the length.

Self-PR · Current draft

自己PR: 私の強みは、曖昧な問題を確認できる手順に分け、周囲と情報をそろえる力です。ソフトウェア工学の授業で、四人で図書予約アプリを制作しました。私はバックエンドを担当し、画面側と予約ルールの理解が異なる問題に対し、操作手順を整理して項目ごとに確認しました。チームで入力の組み合わせを検証し、不一致を修正して、期末に動作する版を発表しました。仕事でも、不明点を共有し、仕様を確認しながら実装に取り組みます。

Support the strength with action

This wording emphasizes breaking an unclear problem into steps that could be checked. When adapting to a character limit, keep at least one personal action and its result. Testing and the final presentation remain team results.

Student experience

An experience answer should explain the problem, personal actions, and outcome. Identify what the team did together so the applicant can answer follow-up questions in an interview.

Student experience

学生時代に力を入れたこと: 学生時代に力を入れたのは、授業のアプリ制作でインターフェースの認識をそろえることです。ソフトウェア工学の授業で四人で学内図書予約アプリを制作しました。私はバックエンドのインターフェース、データベース、接続確認の情報整理を担当しました。予約時間や図書の状態、エラー応答の理解が異なり、画面側と処理が一致しないことが課題でした。一人での調査に時間をかけすぎたため、私は現象と根拠、確認事項を先に共有する方法に変えました。操作手順を整理し、画面担当者と項目名、データ型、空値の可否、エラー応答を確認しました。予約と取消の処理を修正し、入力チェックを追加して、不確かなルールはチームで確認しました。チームは28個の入力の組み合わせを検証し、3種類の不一致を修正しました。期末には予定どおり動作する版を発表し、インターフェースの説明と検証記録を提出しました。

Prepare to explain a change in approach

The Japanese draft describes a change from investigating alone to sharing the issue, evidence, and questions first. In an interview, be ready to explain why the approach changed and how that helped move the checks forward.

Application motivation

Motivation

This draft explains the applicant's motivation through personal experience and an interest in software development, without relying on company traits that have not been provided. For a specific application, check the question, role, and recruitment materials separately.

Motivation

志望動機: 私は、仕様を確かめ、周囲と認識を合わせながら、確実に動作するソフトウェアの開発に携わりたいと考えています。授業で四人で学内図書予約アプリを制作した際、私はバックエンドのインターフェース、データベース、接続確認の情報整理を担当しました。画面側と予約ルールの理解が異なる問題に対し、操作手順を整理し、項目名やデータ型、エラー応答を担当者と確認しました。不確かなルールは打ち合わせで確かめ、予約と取消の処理を修正し、入力チェックを追加しました。チームで入力の組み合わせを検証し、不一致を修正して、期末に動作する版を発表しました。この経験から、実装だけでなく、確認事項と根拠を共有することが開発を進めるうえで大切だと学びました。入社後も業務知識と開発技術を学び、周囲に相談しながら、実装と検証に貢献したいと考えています。

Checks before applying to a specific company

The draft gives a complete account of the applicant's priorities and development experience. Before a specific application, consult the recruitment page for that year and check the role's tasks and the question. Add a company connection only when the materials support it; do not guess at business strengths or placement.

Use and submission

Use and submission checks

Adapt to the actual question and character limit. Check consistency across personal actions, team results, and other documents before saving the final version.

Pre-submission check

Individual contribution	Check each sentence to see whether it describes the applicant's action or a team result.
Company information	The company name, role, and connection to its business need an actual source.
Complete draft	Make sure the text makes sense on its own and contains no blanks or writing instructions. Keep unverified company details outside the draft.
Consistency across versions	Keep dates, role, team size, and results consistent. Do not change facts to meet a shorter character limit.
