Mynavi x note is hosting a submission contest: "#ChallengeForTheFuture"!
[Updated April 16]
The judging results have been announced! Please check them out via the article link below.
In an era where ways of working and living are diversifying, everyone has their own unique way of building a career. Beyond major turning points like finding a job or changing careers, the accumulation of daily decisions—such as studying abroad, transferring, or graduating from child-rearing—leads to the future.
We are looking for the next step you found after facing yourself, following those decisions, in a collaboration contest between Mynavi and note called "#ChallengeForTheFuture". Please tell us about the thoughts in your heart, such as records of taking stock of your strengths, your determination when jumping into a new environment, or the realistic vision you want to achieve.

Message from the Sponsoring Company
Mynavi wants to support each individual's career at various milestones in life, such as entering school, finding a job, or changing careers.
The theme this time is "#ChallengeForTheFuture". A challenge is not just about big decisions or achievements. A step taken while feeling lost or a secret desire to "try something" is also a genuine challenge.
It doesn't matter if it's a step you've already taken or something you want to challenge yourself with in the future. Please feel free to write in your own words about what you are thinking now and what kind of future you are trying to envision.
We hope this contest will be an opportunity for you to face yourself and think about your next step. And we hope that your thoughts will become a force that gently pushes someone else forward.
We look forward to your submissions!
