What is the Annual Income Simulator?
This simulator displays the estimated annual income in central government ministries and agencies when you enter information such as your desired occupation, current age, and dependents.
The civil servant salary system is inherently complex, and the salary structure and ranges in central government ministries and agencies are often difficult to visualize. Furthermore, in recruitment exams for central government ministries and agencies, salaries are often not presented even after an offer is made, which has been a source of anxiety for those considering a job change.
Based on laws related to the national civil servant salary system, as well as information from former national civil servants including CEO Yoshii and current national civil servants, the Company has built a mechanism to visualize estimated annual income in central government ministries and agencies.
With this renewal, it is now possible to make estimations based on the latest Reiwa 7 National Personnel Authority Recommendation. Please make use of it.

VOLVE's Services
In addition to the annual income simulator, VOLVE also provides the following services for those aiming to change jobs to central government ministries and agencies.
1. Job Change Counseling Service
We provide comprehensive counseling, from creating resumes, CVs, and essays to interview preparation, to bring out individuals' experiences and strengths. Some clients have received job offers from central government ministries and agencies such as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry after undergoing our counseling. If you are interested in service details, please check below.

2. Job Search Function with Hints
This service allows you to search for job openings in various ministries and agencies. Its biggest feature is the ability to search by rephrasing specialized Kasumigaseki terminology into common expressions.
Kasumigaseki terms such as "experienced hire" and "selection hire" are unfamiliar to those from private companies, and it is often difficult to grasp the content of job postings. This function allows you to search after converting such terms into easy-to-understand expressions, making it smooth for even first-time job seekers in ministries and agencies. It also has a function to save set search conditions, allowing you to check daily updated government job information in a timely and efficient manner.
