My diary 10/17 : Staring Job Hunting but still thinking

I’m a 3rd-year-university student in Japan. In Japan, we have to start hunting a job once you become a 4th year in July. However, in general, we should prepare for the job hunt from summer vacation of 3rd year. We find some internships, and attend some seminars to know what kind of job suits us. For me, I searched for some internships and applied to them. The problem is I don’t know what kind of job I want to work for in my future. In addition to this, I’m interested in studying the relationship between Southeast Asian countries and Japan. If I could go to graduate school to get a masters degree and study them, that would be the best choice for me. However, most of university students don’t go to graduate school, especially students who major in liberal arts like me. Plus, it is said that after the Olympics in Tokyo, Japan will come to be in an economic depression. Therefore, job hunting will become harder and harder. If I could go to graduate school, I would want to go to a university in Taiwan or China . By then, I can improve my Chinese skills at the same time (I had been to Taiwan as an exchange student )

The biggest thing that makes me feel troubled is the custom of job hunting in Japan. Many people like to do the common things and hate do things that no one does. I’m so frustrated about job hunting.
