Can someone more knowledgeable about Japan than me please explain the 'Let's buy an application form'? Is some kind of buy-in employment agency normal in Japan?
@SpacyRicochet In Japan most companies will require that you fill out a resume/CV form (rirekisho) when applying for a job. Since the form is standardized you can buy more-or-less universally accepted blank forms with all the required fields at stationery stores.
Wow that kind of standardized resume form is nice. I hate needing to make a resume.
Also I think that hang up about appearing childish is itself childish.
