Resume Builder
Build the two documents Japanese employers ask for. Fill the form in English on the left; output renders in Japanese on the right. Nothing leaves your browser.
1 Header info
The 職務経歴書 header is simpler than the 履歴書, just today's date
(top right) and your name (right-aligned, below the date). No photo
required. We auto-fill today's date; you only need to type your name.
Convention is the date you finalized the document.
Leave blank to use today's date automatically.
2 Career summary (職務要約)
A 3–5 sentence overview of your career so far. Recruiters skim this
first to decide whether to keep reading. Cover: how many years of
experience, your specialty/industry, your most recent role, and the
impact you've had. Keep it factual and concrete (years, scale, results).
3 Career history (職務経歴)
The heart of the document. List companies in reverse-chronological
order (newest first). For each: company name, the period you worked
there, your role, the duties you handled, and the results/projects
you delivered. Use one bullet per line in the
Duties and Achievements fields, newlines render as bullet points
(•) in the output. Quantify wherever you can: "led a team of 5",
"cut response time from 800ms to 120ms", "drove revenue growth of
¥40M YoY". For your current job, check the
在職中 box
instead of typing an end date.
4 Skills (活かせる経験・知識・技術)
List transferable skills the company would value: technical stack,
languages (programming + spoken), management/leadership scope,
methodologies (Agile, OKRs, etc.). One bullet per line. Be specific, "Python (8 years)", "AWS (EC2 / RDS / Lambda)", "English: Native /
Japanese: N2 Business" beats vague labels.
5 Qualifications & certifications (資格・免許)
Same content as your 履歴書, list JLPT, Japanese driver's license,
and any professional certifications with the date acquired.
6 Self-PR (自己PR)
Longer than the rirekisho self-PR, typically 1–3 paragraphs. Open
with a single sentence about your strongest attribute, then back it
up with a concrete example from your career history, then end with
how you'd apply it at the new company. The format Japanese recruiters
expect: claim → evidence → contribution.
Tip for a clean PDF: in the print dialog, expand
More settings and uncheck Headers and footers so the
URL, page number, and timestamp don't appear on the exported PDF.
