Testimonials

Hear from some of our amazing customers

Thanks to JapaneseResume.com, what could've been a whole afternoon or even a day of frustration and fiddling was all done in a few minutes. It offers enough flexibility and guidance to be a time (and life) saver for both beginners and veterans to creating Japanese resumes and work resumes, or to those who don't even have the best Japanese language skills. For those who want to get a quick conversion done, it's probably faster than anything else you could find and requires little to no editing. For those who still want to customize and fine-tune, every step of the process is adjustable. I cannot recommend this enough!

Tomas D.
PhD., The University of Tokyo

I was honestly dreading the idea of writing a Japanese resume from scratch because it just sounded painful. Using JapaneseResume.com was such a relief. I uploaded my English resume and, suddenly, I had a proper shokumu keirekisho. The AI made it look professional and natural, way better than anything I could have pulled together with one of those generic AI translators. Total lifesaver.

Alex R.
UX Designer, Yokohama

Uploaded my old resume in German and it mapped it to a Japanese layout pretty well. Had to fix a couple of auto-translations after buying the pass, but it's way faster than starting from scratch. Glad there's a 1-day pass so I didn't get locked into a monthly thing.

Jan A.
Business Development, Germany

I was trying to jump from teaching to a corporate tech role. The AI gave a decent baseline but I got the manual review just to be safe. The consultant reworded some parts to fit the industry better, and used the 1 free revision to tweak the final draft. Ended up getting an interview shortly after so it did the trick.

David K.
Account Executive, Osaka

I liked that I could test the conversion for free first just to see how the layout handled my messy CV. Didn't let me edit it on the free tier but the preview looked clean enough that I upgraded. Fixed all my formatting issues instantly.

Elena R.
Product Manager, Tokyo

Recruiter suddenly asked for a Japanese version by the next morning. No way I could write that fast. Used the 24h pass, generated the PDFs, did a quick check and sent it off. Had to rewrite a couple auto-translated phrases but it worked for a last-minute rush.

Kirthi S.
Project Manager, Tokyo

Honestly didn't even know a shokumu-keirekisho was a thing before this, thought I just needed a regular resume for Japan. Finding this site was a lifesaver because it actually guides you through the whole process. I just uploaded my old CV, made some minor edits with the AI, and was completely done in like 30 mins. Really appreciated how it explains what you need along the way.

Anand S.
Software Developer, Tokyo
