This template is very usual. All Japanese have used once for applying for a part time job. This can be bought at convenient stores. It means this is a standard and well-known template. You can buy it in any stationary stores and also you can buy it online. 

It costs cheap. They sell it by 1 set including 4 copies of a template. It costs like $3 for one set. You can make a mistake 3 times.

Or, you can get it from some websites which offers various templates. It is for free.

Handwriting or Typing

There is controversy for which is better, Handwriting or Typing. 

Many people write it by handwriting. But, I think, and some people might think that it is not effient way to make document. 

Handwriting advocates:

-Interviewer can know interviewees' personalities and characters from thier looks of handwriting. The more accurate and easy-to-read thier handwriting are, in the more accurate or reasonable way they can work. Something like that.

-Some interviewers accept only resume by handwriting.

 

Typing advocates:

-To submit resume in typing manner, it proofs your PC skill.

-Handwriting is slow way to make document. Thus, interviewer think that interviewee who use handwriting way is not efficiant person in terms of geting a job done.

When making it, you can make mistakes since you can fix them immediately. You can use it for another job interviews. Efficiant and rational.

-Interviewer can understand it well because typing writing is clear to be understood. If handwriting is messy, it's hard to read and it would become a time cunsuming and frastrating task for interviewers.

 

I am an advocater of using PC. So, I use PC to make it always. However, some interviewers having old-fasion way of thinking might not like this way. 

For full time jobs, I think a resume written in typing is more common than part time jobs. I applied for positions in IT related companies. So, of course, they prefer resume in typing.
