Admin’s Note

I think the news about the impact on Fuji TV’s new graduate recruitment reflects the current state of the industry. In particular, the way issues surrounding popular talent can directly affect a company’s image highlights the significant influence of the media. The fact that there are fewer applicants suggests that the factors new graduates prioritize when choosing a company are changing, and companies will need to consider how to address this. It was also striking to see how genuinely surprised Chako was during the conversation.
