日本大学毕业班学生和研究生的求职面试正式开始。 但一项调查显示，他们中的许多人已经收到了初步工作邀请。

根据政府制定的指导方针，日本将于6月1日正式开始求职面试。 但由于劳动力短缺，企业每年都在加大招聘活动。

A survey shows that as of May 15th, nearly 80 percent of students had already received job offers. The government has been asking businesses to follow its guidelines so searching for work will not affect the students' education.
