“Please bear in mind that when you hand out your business card, you ought to introduce yourself first and have a brief conversation,” urged a female anchorperson who served as the seminar instructor at an exchange center in Yamaguchi in early September. The participants were women who had left their jobs to care for children or for other reasons and now wish to rejoin the workforce. At, a Yamaguchi-based Specified Nonprofit Corporation that organized the event, has held such seminars several times since 2019, connecting job-seekers with companies.
