Typical Job-Hunting Schedule
If you plan to apply for a job at a large company, either foreign or Japanese, you should begin the search by your junior year. Employers typically hire a year before graduation and for April and October start dates. Timing for your job-hunting can be defined by your expected graduation date. Please consult with the Career Development Office when you have settled on a graduation date.

Career Fair
Each year, TUJ organizes a career fair to provide our students and recent graduates the chance to meet employers and develop contacts for networking and future opportunities. For the last few years, we have invited 12-15 companies and approximately 200 students and recent graduates have attended each year.
When You’ve Finished Job-Hunting
We value our relationship with TUJ alumni very highly, as they are in the best position to be supporters of TUJ students facing job-hunting. It is important for us to have the correct information about your job-hunting and future employer. When you finish your job-hunting, please fill in the TUJ New Graduate Employment Contact Information and e-mail it to us at career@tuj.temple.edu.
