Abstract
Resolving the issue of employment mismatch is becoming important in the face of worsening job opportunities, owing to the economic slowdown and the increasing turnover rate of young employees. One way to resolve the mismatch is to determine the aptitude of graduates by performing genuine self-analysis through metacognition and reflection. The role model based e-portfolio (RMP) system, which we have hitherto proposed and developed, compares and analyzes role models (graduates) and their capability values. The document data (personal statements and job application forms), which the system has not utilized, contains subjective opinions and unquantifiable information. The occupation aptitude test and the diagnosis function of employment matching that use this document information can provide new insight, stimulating portfolio cycle by providing material for reflection. In this research, therefore, we conducted an analysis of the document data of role models, and developed and evaluated the occupation aptitude test and the diagnosis function of employment matching. These functions were then implemented into the RMP system to construct a career assisting system which promotes autonomous self-analysis activities.
