How to Identify Undesirable Part-Time Job Listings

For the 2026 academic year at Tokyo Senju Campus, undesirable listings include jobs with unclear conditions, group-dependent hiring requirements, or unreliable employer decisions. The details vary by faculty.

Future Science Faculty: Listings to Avoid

For students in the Future Science Faculty, a listing is considered undesirable when its working conditions are unclear. This includes listings that do not clearly state details such as wages, working hours, location, job duties, or payment method, as well as listings based on a registration system. Listings that make hiring conditional on a limited number of people are also undesirable. One example is a condition under which, if even one person is missing from a group of 10, the other nine people are not hired. A listing is also undesirable when an employer repeatedly fails to tell referred students whether they were hired or repeatedly does not hire them without a legitimate reason.

Faculty of Engineering: Listings to Avoid

For students in the Faculty of Engineering, avoid listings that make hiring conditional on a limited number of people, provide unclear working conditions, or involve unreliable hiring practices. Unreliable practices include repeatedly failing to notify referred students whether they were hired or repeatedly not hiring them without a valid reason.

Faculty of Engineering, Second Division: Listings to Avoid

For students in the Faculty of Engineering, Second Division, listings are considered undesirable when employment depends on a specified number of people being available. Listings with unclear working conditions are also undesirable, including those that do not specify matters such as wages, working hours, location, job content, or payment method, and listings based on a registration system. In addition, a listing is undesirable when an employer gives no notice of whether referred students were accepted or repeatedly does not hire them without a legitimate reason.
