सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Japan, the transition from student to employee is a major rite of passage. The 'Simultaneous Recruiting of New Graduates' system means most students start their jobs on exactly April 1st. This creates a shared national experience of starting adulthood together.
The 'April 1st' Rule
In Japan, almost everyone starts their new job on April 1st. If you mention 'shuushoku' in March, everyone knows you're about to start your new life!
Not for Part-Timers
Never use this for a part-time job (arubaito). It sounds like you're claiming a burger-flipping gig is your lifelong career, which might confuse people.

What It Means
This phrase describes the big step of landing a career. It is not just about any work. It specifically refers to becoming a regular employee. In Japan, this is a major life milestone. You are transitioning from a student to a shakaijin. That word means a 'member of society.' It carries a lot of weight and pride.
How To Use It
You combine the noun shuushoku with the verb suru. To say you landed the job, use shuushoku shimashita. If you are currently looking, use shuushoku katsudou. You can also mention the industry before the phrase. For example, IT kigyou ni shuushoku suru. This means 'getting a job at an IT company.' It is a very versatile and standard collocation.
When To Use It
Use this when discussing your long-term career plans. It is perfect for graduation season in March. Use it when telling your parents you finally got hired. It works well in professional interviews too. You might use it when updating your LinkedIn profile. It sounds mature and focused on the future.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for a part-time job. If you work at a cafe, use arubaito. Shuushoku implies a long-term commitment to a company. Do not use it for a side hustle. It feels too heavy for temporary or casual work. Also, do not use it for household chores. That would sound very strange to a local!
Cultural Background
Japan has a unique job-hunting culture called shuukatsu. Students start searching for jobs a year before graduating. They all wear identical black 'recruit suits.' It looks like a sea of penguins in Tokyo! Getting your first job is a massive relief. Companies often hire everyone at once in April. This creates a strong bond among new hires.
Common Variations
You will often hear the shortened version shuukatsu. This refers to the grueling process of job hunting. Shuushokusaki is another common term. It means the specific place where you found work. If you quit a job to find another, use tenshoku. Shuushoku is usually for that first big career entry.
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी
This phrase is neutral and widely used in both daily conversation and professional settings. Just remember to use the particle 'ni' for the company and avoid using it for casual part-time work.

The 'Recruit Suit' uniform
During the 'shuushoku' process, everyone wears a specific black suit. It’s a cultural secret: wearing a navy or grey suit is sometimes seen as 'too rebellious' for a new grad!

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालShigoto just means 'work' or 'a task.' Shuushoku specifically means the act of entering a company as a permanent employee.
No, you should use arubaito for part-time work. Shuushoku is reserved for full-time, career-track positions.
You should use the term shuushoku katsudou or the shortened shuukatsu. For example: Ima, shuukatsu-chuu desu (I'm currently job hunting).
It is neutral. You can make it formal by saying shuushoku shimasu or informal by saying shuushoku suru.
When you shuushoku, you become a shakaijin (a member of society). It implies you are now an independent adult with responsibilities.
Usually, no. For starting a business, you would use kigyou suru. Shuushoku implies being hired by someone else.
It is the plain black suit students wear during shuushoku katsudou. It is meant to show that you can follow rules and fit into a corporate culture.
While most common for 22-year-old graduates, anyone entering a new permanent career path can use shuushoku suru.
Use the particle ni. For example: Toyota ni shuushoku suru (To get a job at Toyota).
It's more natural to say shigoto o mitsukeru (find a job) or just shuushoku suru (get a job).
