Which Template Do I Need?テンプレート診断 — find your rirekisho in 3 questions
Japan has several resume formats, and picking the wrong one wastes an evening. Answer three quick questions and we'll point you to the right template — ready to open and fill in.
Question 1 of 3
What are you applying for?
The formats, briefly
The JIS layout is the traditional standard most companies accept; the MHLW (厚生労働省) form is the modern government version without gender or commute fields; modern/English layouts suit tech and global firms; and part-time, new-grad, and career-change variants tune the emphasis for your situation. See all of them on the templates page.
Still unsure?
You can switch templates any time inside the editor without retyping — your data reflows automatically. Just open the editor and try a couple, or read how to write a Japanese resume.
