It is fresh in our memory that the employment situation for newly graduated students worsened immediately after the Leman Shock in September 2008. Even at the present (2017), the environment surrounding the employment of newly graduated students is quite harsh. In addition, recently, the importance of career-oriented education in universities with the grand design in mind is being emphasized. Taking these situations into account, this study designed and conducted a questionnaire survey aiming to extract insights that will assist undergraduates with their job search. This paper discusses the result of the analysis performed on the 114 responses gathered. The particular point of interest is that there was a difference in how the students coped with their job search, and the classes they found useful, depending on the type of occupation they were hired for.
