Many of the problems such as 'I can't write a statement of purpose' or 'I don't know what job suits me' stem from issues with how one chooses a job in the first place.
This book systematically explains the statement of purpose required in job hunting and career change situations, not with superficial techniques, but from the perspective of career choice.
You can learn consistently from how to identify industries, occupations, and companies, how to create your own 'core values,' and the process of verbalizing them.
Furthermore, it includes 100 real-life examples of statements of purpose. You can concretely understand the difference between good and bad statements of purpose.
This is an essential textbook for those who want to acquire a 'statement of purpose that only I can articulate,' rather than a 'statement of purpose that works anywhere.'
*This book is an updated, partially revised, and edited version of 'Guaranteed Job Offer! Absolutely Writeable! Statement of Purpose' (Shuwa System), released in June 2020, with the latest information.
