Japanese Class for Job Hunting (August Basic Class)
劉　怡孜　(Liu, Yi Tzu）

When I decided to start job hunting, what troubled me were things like how to write the CV, how　to express the reason for applying for the job and how to present myself, all in correct Japanese. After thinking it over, I made up my mind to join the‘Japanese for Job Hunting Class’at The Naganuma School. The teachers really know very well the problems that the foreign students face in the process of job hunting in Japan. Other than the skills of self analysis, writing CVs and one’s motivation for applyi
ng for the job, I was taught honorifics and polite expressions used in job interviews. In the practice sessions, my interview manners were corrected many times. They also taught me how to effectively appeal myself and finally I felt I gained confidence in expressing my selling points in Japanese.

Why not speak Japanese and participate in an amusing conversation using what you have learned far! The class is recommended for:

- Those who understand basic Japanese grammar but are not fluent in Japanese conversation.
- Those who wish to practice conversation but have no need to study kanji !
- Those who have not many opportunities to converse in Japanese in real life
- Those who wish to practice Japanese but are not certain they can continue it for a long time.
- Those who wish to practice Japanese but have no time to do it.

Ten lessons in five weeks are a moderate way to start and the small class will give you ample time to practice speaking in Japanese. The class will raise the level of your fluency by increasing vocabulary and expressions based on the knowledge of grammar that you have now.
