Job Hunting

Many new students and younger students are anxious about their future job search. However, there is no need to worry about job hunting unnecessarily. First, “deepen your understanding of fundamental and specialized knowledge through your studies and acquire the ability to think logically and in a logical manner. Next, through social experiences such as extracurricular activities and work experience, try to actually use the abilities and thinking skills you have acquired through your studies. Once you have actively acted and experienced, the next important step is to look back. Think about what motivated you to do things, what you gained and how you grew from this experience, and how you interacted with society. Through repeated “experiences” and “looking back,” you will acquire the ability to carve out a life that is uniquely your own.
