"I think everyone struggles with this when job hunting, but I struggled with filling out the application form and the interview. I particularly revised my application form over and over again so that the applicant could get to know me better. During my job hunt, I was able to make use of the presentation skills I learned in my career design class and the marketing knowledge I learned in class when promoting myself. When deciding on my path after graduating from high school, I was interested in a variety of things. I was attracted to Otemae University, where I could study a wide range of subjects across departments, and enrolled. All of the subjects I actually studied were new to me and very stimulating and interesting. As a result, this wide range of learning led me to realize what I wanted to do."

Not knowing exactly what I wanted to do in the future, I went to Otemae University where I could study a wide range of fields beyond undergraduate studies. I actually made the most of this opportunity, taking a wide variety of courses and actively participating in extracurricular activities. As a result, I believe that my studies at Otemae have helped me to turn my vague vision of the future into a concrete goal. University life offers unlimited opportunities depending on your own will and actions. By proactively taking the first step, opportunities for growth and encounters beyond your imagination await you. Please take full advantage of this free learning environment and create your own university life. We hope that your challenge will become a story of wonderful growth.

Konno Rintaro
Graduated from Osaka Prefectural Hirakata Tsuda High School
I believe it is important for people to be conscious of interpersonal relationships and communication when interacting with others in life, but through the career design class, a required subject in the first and second years, I felt that the person I most need to face is "myself." Self-analysis, such as what I want to do now, what suits me, and what kind of person I am, is essential information to know in order to control myself. Personally, I felt that my job hunting had already begun from this class. Self-analysis is actually a necessary material for self-promotion, so for me, career design was a very meaningful class.

Osaka Prefecture Private Shitennoji High School
During my job search, I especially focused on company research, self-analysis, and interview practice. Since I applied to many airlines, I studied each company's appeal and the things that only each company and airport had to offer so that I could put them into words. I also went to the airport and looked for differences in the way each airline customer service handled the job. In addition, when practicing for interviews, I was conscious of the real thing from the time I practiced, making sure to convey what I was thinking at the time with a smile and in my own words. I recorded myself speaking on video and studied repeatedly how I looked from the interviewer's perspective, and whether my posture, facial expressions, and choice of words were correct. Thanks to that, I think I was able to speak in my own words during the interview, rather than using memorized sentences.
