Target for 自己PR (Self-PR): 200–400 characters. Start typing to check the length.
How long should it be?
There is no official limit, but the box on a rirekisho is small and reviewers skim. As a guide, a 自己PR of roughly 200–400 characters and a 志望動機 of about 150–300 characters fit comfortably and stay focused. Aim to fill most of the space — a box that is nearly empty reads as low effort, and one that overflows looks cramped.
Make every character count
Because the space is tight, cut filler and lead with substance: one clear strength, one concrete proof, and why this company. For the full structure and editable examples, see how to write your 自己PR and, for part-time roles, the 志望動機 examples by job type.
How to use it, step by step
- Paste or type your 自己PR or 志望動機 into the box.
- Choose the target: 自己PR or 志望動機 (or no target if you only want the count).
- Edit until the count sits near the target: cut repetition if you are over, add a concrete example if you are short.
- Copy the finished text back into your resume.
Frequently asked questions
How many characters should a rirekisho 自己PR be?
It depends on the box size, but a typical rirekisho box fits roughly 200–300 Japanese characters. A 職務経歴書 allows a longer 自己PR.
How full should the box be?
Common Japanese advice is to fill at least about 80% of the box. A half-empty box suggests little effort, and text squeezed into a tiny font is hard to read.
Do punctuation marks count?
Yes. In Japanese character counts, 、 and 。 and brackets each count as one character, so the counter includes them.
What if I write in English?
Character targets assume Japanese text. English takes more characters for the same meaning, so treat the target as a rough guide and check how it fits on the preview.
What makes a good 自己PR?
One strength, one specific example that proves it, and one sentence on how it helps in this job. Specific beats general.
