Most companies start recruitment activities from March. But how can we get information even though there are innumerable number of companies? This article will introduce 5 useful and recommended web sites for job hunting.
CAUTION! All sites introduced in this article are written in Japanese.

If you want to know basic information of companies or schedules of events….

1. マイナビ Mynavi

Most of all students doing job hunting use this website. You can find information of over 20 thousands companies.

The website provides many joint information sessions (合同説明会) and web seminars. Even if you live in the countryside and you can’t go to Tokyo or other big cities, you can get the same information with web seminar.

• 

Finding suitable jobs is very difficult and many students wander which companies do they want to work. You can use the service to find suitable jobs by answering some questions.
Many Japanese companies set a web test or SPI test and this site provide many questions enable you to practice tests.

2. リクナビ recnavi

This site is as big as マイナビ however it provides information of over 30 thousands companies. I recommend you to register your membership because sometimes I could find companies couldn’t be found in マイナビ. Of course it provides events, web seminars and practice questions for web test and SPI test.

3. キャリタス就活 career-tasu

This site is slightly smaller than previous two sites. However it will help you in many ways. For example you can know how to write ES (entry sheet) manners and interviews.

If you want to focus on information of global companies….

外資就活ドットコム Gaishi-shukatsu.com

This site gives information of some Japanese companies but it is competent to provide information of global companies. Most of global companies have their own schedule of recruitment and usually they start before March so I recommend to use this site if you are interested in global companies.

I have another reason to recommend to use this site. A useful service of this site is that you can read ES written by older students got an unofficial offer. This is very helpful when you write ES. And you can know very detalied information of selection stages like how long did an interview take or how many interviewers joined.

If you want to know true information of each company ….

Vokers

I guess most of people want to work with high salary, nice people and enough company benefits. However you can’t know truth from web site of each company so vokers is very useful to get such information because many workers write reality about incomes and overtime work etc.. However your membership will be expired within a few month if you want to use for free.

If you want to make your account, you can use this page.

How to register

Lastly…
I strongly recommend to make an account for job hunting only.

I get over 20 e-mails related to job hunting everyday so to separate these e-mails from other important mails, I recommend to use an account for job hunting only.
