Glossary
- Resume (Rirekisho)
- The universally standard Japanese timeline-based biographical document required for virtually all job applications in Japan. Its rigid, tabular format contrasts sharply with flexible Western "CV" designs.
- Work History Document (Shokumu Keirekisho)
- An accompanying document detailing your specific duties, projects, and achievements. While the Rirekisho confirms your basic timeline, the Shokumu Keirekisho highlights your actual career skills to recruiters.
- JIS Standard Format
- The standard Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) layout. This is the most widely accepted rirekisho format in Japan unless the employer provides their own template.
- Motivation / Self-PR (Shibou Douki)
- The critical essay section outlining specifically why you wish to work for this brand and summarizing the unique value you immediately bring. It is arguably the most scrutinized section by hiring managers.
- Client-side PDF Generation
- The secure technical architecture underpinning this tool. The PDF processing logic operates fully within your local browser ecosystem rather than pinging a remote server, guaranteeing absolute data confidentiality.
- ID Photo (Shoumei Shashin)
- The professional portrait affixed universally to the top right of Japanese resumes. The tool provides a built-in cropping utility that enforces the strict 4:3 official portrait ratio automatically upon image select.
- Auto-save (Local Storage)
- An invisible browser function that aggressively persists your inputted text dynamically into your device memory, preventing heart-breaking data loss if your browser crashes or a tab is mistakenly closed mid-typing.
FAQ
- Q.Is it completely safe to type my sensitive private address and phone number here?
- Emphatically yes. Security is our paramount design principle. 100% of the PDF rendering and cropping math runs offline inside your own CPU. Your private biographical data never actually touches the internet.
- Q.Does "Auto-save" mean you are secretly storing my drafts somewhere?
- No. The "Auto-save" feature utilizes HTML5 localStorage, essentially caching the text securely within your own hard drive locally. Erasing your browser cookies or cache will destroy the saved draft instantly.
- Q.How do I print this for my interview tomorrow?
- Tap "Save PDF" to save it to your device. You can then open it at a local print shop or convenience store printer (in Japan: 7-Eleven, FamilyMart) to print it out.
- Q.Do Japanese companies prefer Western years (2025) or the Japanese Imperial Era (Reiwa 7)?
- Unlike decades ago, both formats are thoroughly acceptable universally today. The iron-clad rule is simply absolute consistency: whichever era system you decide upon for your birthdate, fiercely stick to it for the entire timeline.
- Q.Can I manually attach a printed photo to the document later?
- Yes. Simply leave the photo select section empty. The generated PDF will include a dotted outline box so you can easily glue a printed photo in the correct spot.
- Q.Should I legally print this on B5 (Japanese traditional size) or A4 format?
- A4 is currently the undisputed modern corporate champion standard in Japan. The tool inherently outputs optimized A4 geometry allowing you to easily print two single A4 pages.
- Q.Is there a spelling/grammar checker connected to the input fields?
- No, to preserve the strict lightweight, offline-first serverless architecture, we refrained from integrating cloud spell-check APIs. We advise proofreading with our specialized Proofreader tool before finalizing your PDF here.
