With a well-written resume, potential employees can show themselves in a positive light to please the employer. If you are a resident of Japan or would like to submit a resume to that country, learn how to write a resume in Japanese correctly.
In Japan, CV is called Rirekisho (履 歴 書) .
Unlike resumes in many other countries, Japanese resumes do not include your past work volume and your accomplishments in previous companies. They only include the names of the schools you have attended and the companies you have worked for in the past.
写真 is the place for your photo
Make sure to use a recent photograph (taken no earlier than 3 months in advance) against a solid background and the correct size (usually 4cm x 3cm).
Here you will also need to write the date when you apply.
氏 名 is the place for your name.
Address and phone number 現 住所 ・ 電話

Education and work experience 学 歴 ・ 職 歴
Education and work experience sections are usually found in the same section of the resume. However, you should separate them by writing “学 歴” and “職 歴” at the top of each section in the center.
As a rule, you need to write from the earliest place of study / work to the newest one.
In the work experience section, list only full-time positions. Part-time work as a student, etc. is usually not listed.
At the end of the work experience history section, write “現在 に 至 る” if you are still working, and then write “以上” on the next line, right justified.
What is the difference between Cv and Resume?
Unlike a CV, a resume is a more concise document that lists the key, most important points of your professional career. Also in the resume, places of work are indicated in reverse chronological order. Emphasis on experience, skills and achievements can be individually placed for a specific job. Thus, the resume of one candidate may have different content depending on the vacancy.
