From here, I will consider the system of job hunting in Japan. First, I would like to think about the fact
that the job hunting period has been accelerated. This year, when the interview ban was lifted in June,
the job offer rate was already 59.2%. This is very strange. Personally, I think it's natural that students want
to start job hunting early in order to stand out from the crowd, and I think companies also want to acquire
good people as soon as possible. However, I think that conducting job hunting activities at an early stage
may cause students to neglect their studies. This is because internships and interviews are held on weekdays
and students cannot attend classes. Therefore, I think it is necessary for companies to correctly follow
the period set by the government.

Also, in Japan, most of the questions asked in interviews are fixed, and students assume the answers
beforehand. However, there are many students who exaggerate their experiences to suggest greater achievements,
and I sometimes wonder if students are being evaluated correctly or what companies want to know about the students.

Finally, I would like to give some advice to younger students. The first is to look at many different industries.
There are many students, myself included, who end up working in industries that are different from the ones they
initially wanted to work in. Secondly, if you are interested in something, just apply for it. This is related to the first point.
Also, the more interviews you have, the more you can get used to them. You can also analyze yourself through interviews.
I believe that the only way to get through an interview is to practice!
