Guidance for Transitioning to Civil Service Careers

On October 8, 2025, from 19:15 to 20:30, TAC Ikebukuro School will host a valuable guidance session catered to individuals considering a transition into civil service, especially those with prior work experience in the private sector. The key focus is to address common concerns such as job security and long-term career satisfaction that many professionals face today.

Background of the Event

In recent times, the quest for stability and meaningful work has led many individuals to ponder a career in public service. However, the uncertainty about whether one can still pursue civil service roles at a later stage can be daunting. To alleviate these concerns, TAC will welcome former civil servants as speakers to share firsthand experiences and insights into the civil service examination process. This event is tailored for participants predominantly in their late 20s and beyond who have substantial professional backgrounds and are contemplating the civil service as a viable career path.

What to Expect

The session will begin with an overview of civil service examinations available to working professionals. Topics will include the differences in examination systems, an introduction to key examinations specific to seasoned applicants, and the current trends in civil service roles. These discussions are designed to simplify the process and foster understanding for those new to this field.

Special emphasis will be placed on unique aspects of the experienced candidate examinations, particularly the foundational academic tests, pivotal writing assessments, and interview preparations tailored for experienced applicants. Participants will gain essential knowledge on how to navigate these challenges through targeted strategies and focused preparation.
