How to Fill In the 本人希望記入欄 for a Part-Time Job

The 本人希望記入欄 (applicant's request field) sits near the bottom of the rirekisho. It is small, but applicants often either leave it blank or fill it with the wrong thing. Here is how to use it well for an arubaito application.

The safe default

If you have no special conditions, do not leave the box empty — write the standard line:

• 貴社の規定に従います。 (“I will follow your company's policies.”)

This shows you are flexible and easy to hire, which is exactly what a shift manager wants to read.

When you do have a real constraint

For part-time work, this field is the right place to state a genuine, fixed limitation — briefly and politely. Good examples:

• 勤務は平日の17時以降、土日終日勤務が可能です。 (Weekday evenings after 17:00 and all day on weekends.)
• 学業のため、週3日程度の勤務を希望します。 (Around 3 days a week due to my studies.)
• ○月○日以降より勤務可能です。 (Available to start from [date].)

Keep it to one or two lines. Detailed weekly availability belongs in the shift-availability grid of the part-time template, not here.

The mistake to avoid

Do not write salary demands or a long wish-list. Stating a desired hourly wage here reads as pushy for a part-time role, and pay is set by the store anyway. If you must discuss it, do so politely at the interview. Likewise, avoid listing many conditions — each one is a reason the manager might pass.

A quick decision guide

• No constraints → 貴社の規定に従います。
• Real schedule limit → one short, polite line about days/times.
• Fixed start date → state it clearly.
• Salary, perks, long demands → leave them out.

For the rest of the form, the complete rirekisho guide walks through every section in order.
