[Resume creation] Automatic calculation table for elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university entrance/graduation years

Regarding the ``year of admission/graduation'' that is always confusing when creating a resume for job hunting or job-change activities, we will explain in detail the year discrepancy due to Ronin, repeating a grade, or being born early, basic manners for writing a resume (unifying Western and Japanese calendars, noting dropouts, etc.), and how to use automatic calculation tools.

1. Sympathize with this problem: Do you struggle every time you write the educational background section on your resume?

When I started writing a resume for job-hunting and job-hunting, I kept doing calculations in my head, asking each time, What year did you enter and graduate from high school?'' and What year did you graduate from university?''

Since I am an early born,'' born between January and March, I am very worried that my calculations will be different from those of other people and that I may have made a mistake in my calculations.

Additionally, there are ronin and repeating periods, so the calculations are very complicated, and I'm tired of spending hours creating my resume.''

Creating a resume and job history is the first step in changing jobs and job hunting. However, going through the trouble of recalculating past years just to fill out the academic background column is a stressful task that requires more time and mental strength than you might imagine.

2. Explanation of the cause: Why do errors in calculation of enrollment/graduation year occur?

There are several points that can be confusing when calculating the year of admission and graduation.

  • Disparity for early births (born between January 1st and April 1st):

In the Japanese school system, people born between April 2nd and April 1st of the following year are in the same grade. For people born early, simply adding the number of years from the year of birth will result in a one-year difference in calculations, making it easier to make calculation errors on your own.

  • Difference in the progress of ronin/repetition:

The number of ronin years taken for university entrance exams, as well as repeating a grade or taking a leave of absence while enrolled in school, will shift the relationship between a person's age and yearly progress. If you try to adjust these only in your head, the year numbers will be off and your resume will lack credibility.

  • Wall of resume etiquette:

It is necessary to use the Japanese calendar (Heisei, Reiwa, etc.) or Western calendar (20xx) in the same way throughout your resume. Also, careless writing such as "same as above" is prohibited, so the exact year and month must be written on every line.
