How to write a simple Japanese-style CV (rirekisho)
Ekanshu
In Japan, most employers expect a rirekisho (履歴書)—a simple, standard CV that looks different from Western-style resumes. It’s a clear, organized form that shows your basic info, education, and work history.

What to Include:

Personal Information (基本情報 / Kihon Joho): Name, address, phone, email, date of birth, and photo (passport-style, recent).

Education (学歴 / Gakureki): List schools from high school or university onward with start and graduation dates.

Work Experience (職歴 / Shokureki): List previous jobs with dates, company names, and brief description of duties.

Qualifications / Skills (資格 / Shikaku): Certificates, licenses, language ability (like JLPT), or special skills.

Personal Statement (志望動機 / Shibo Doki): Short note on why you want the job or what you can contribute.

Tips:

Write neatly or type in the official template format.

Keep it simple and clear—no long paragraphs.

Include a professional photo; appearance matters in Japanese CVs.

Use polite, formal language.

Using a proper rirekisho shows respect for Japanese work culture and increases your chances of getting an interview. Once you get the hang of it, writing one becomes easy!
