The procedure of searching for a job is basically the same as that of the Japanese people. Gathering information using various methods on companies you would like to be employed by, to study the information, and to contact the companies of your interest.

You should gather information on firms that will hire Senshu students from abroad, as well as data on companies you would like to work for. Facilities, document material, and the internet will come in handy when collecting these data.

●Practical use of the internet
The internet is very useful when searching for a job. Each company provides information on their own website. The information listed by the company itself is very important when seeking employment.
●Making a call
When requesting document material from the company of your concern, you would make a call unless it is specified otherwise.

Visit graduates from the same Senshu School you attend, or graduates of the same nationality.
Meeting graduates is an effective way to find the actual state of the company.

You should attend company information sessions and seminars as much as possible. It will give you a good opportunity to see many companies and know what kind of human resources they want, and where they want them by talking directly to the person in charge.

To apply for a job you will need to write a resume or application form. This application form is one of the tools to make an appeal.

Written examination/interview
In addition to these interviews and academic tests, some companies will implement aptitude and character evaluations.

Once you have passed the evaluations and the interviews you will wait for the answer (accepting or rejecting your application).
