CVJapan resume transformation showing Western CV converted to Japanese Rirekisho format
Anian founder

"I spent months crafting the perfect resume." Great projects, solid experience, clean design. But Japanese companies kept ignoring me. Turns out, I was playing by the wrong game entirely.

The Problem

Why qualified tech professionals struggle to get hired in Japan

"It's not your skills. It's the format, the culture, and the hidden rules."

The Resume Format Barrier

Sending a western-style CV? It might be ignored. Japanese firms expect a specific Rirekisho format that highlights stability and detail.

The 'Silent' Rejection

Cultural expectations are rarely written down. One wrong phrase or missing section can lead to rejection without any feedback.

Wasted Applications

Job descriptions are vague about language needs. You waste hours applying to roles that strictly require 'Native' Japanese.

The 790,000 Talent Gap

By 2030, Japan is projected to face a shortage of 790,000 IT professionals. This creates a massive "seller's market" where the right candidate can command higher pay and better benefits.

"I was mass-applying on LinkedIn for 4 months straight. 12 rejections, zero callbacks. Turned out my resume was getting auto-filtered because it wasn't in Rirekisho format. CVJapan fixed that in 20 minutes. Got my first interview request the same week."

"I wasted 2 months applying to jobs that said 'Japanese preferred' only to get rejected for not being N1. CVJapan's filtering showed me which companies actually hire N3 speakers. Applied to 8 jobs, got 3 offers. Wish I found this earlier."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about CVJapan.

No. CVJapan is built for both overseas applicants and candidates already living in Japan.
No! CVJapan is designed for all proficiency levels. Our job board filters roles by actual Japanese requirements, and many tech positions in Japan require minimal or no Japanese. Our resume builder also supports creating bilingual documents.

The Founder's Story

I applied to 50 companies from Bangladesh. Zero replies.

"I had the technical skills, but I was applying with a Western mindset. My standard resume was getting filtered out before anyone even looked at my GitHub."

I realized that in Japan, the format is the filter. Once I switched to a proper Japanese Rirekisho and aligned with their hiring protocols, the interviews started coming.

"I built CVJapan to solve that specific problem. It handles the formatting and cultural nuance so you can focus on passing the technical interview."
