What's different about a Japanese resume?

Japan uses two documents

The 履歴書 (rirekisho) is a standardised personal-history form, while the 職務経歴書 (shokumu keirekisho) carries your detailed work history. Your translated resume maps most closely to the shokumu keirekisho.

The rirekisho follows a fixed template

The rirekisho is a prescribed form with set fields — photo, date of birth, education, and a motivation section. Translate your content, then transfer it into the standard template rather than free-form layout.

A photo is expected

Japanese resumes conventionally include a formal passport-style headshot in the designated box. Add one after translating rather than omitting it.

Formal, humble phrasing wins

Japanese business writing favours restrained, factual phrasing over self-promotion. Review the output for tone — aggressive marketing language reads poorly to Japanese recruiters.
