ガクチカ
Significado: What you worked hard on or devoted yourself to during college — a key concept in Japanese job hunting (就活).
ガクチカ is an essential term in Japanese job-hunting (就活) culture. It abbreviates 学生時代に力を入れたこと, referring to the experiences, achievements, and efforts a student highlights during job interviews. Preparing a strong ガクチカ narrative is considered crucial for landing a job in Japan, and university career centres dedicate significant resources to helping students craft theirs.
