The purpose of this study is to support foreigners living in Japan to get a job as "an independent language user" from the viewpoint of Japanese language education. Therefore, I investigated the characteristics of the vocabulary required to read job information and the characteristics of the vocabulary required to write a resume. As survey data, I used text data form "HelloWork internet service" and text data form sentences of resume written by native Japanese speakers, and analyzed it for the part-speech composition, frequency of appearance, and degree of characteristics. As a result, it was clarified that nouns were remarkably large as part of speech and words in the upper intermediate level were the most common in the job information, and that the tendency did not differ between industries. Regarding the sentences of resume, it became clear that there are characteristic words such as kisha, shibou, and tazusawaru. In addition, it became clear that there are frequent sentence patterns such as tai-to-kangaeru.
