tasukete kudasai.

hello guyz. i think this is my first post as a returnee. it was a long long time since my last post to the point that i need to create a new account coz i cant remember my username and my password for that matter. anyhow, i have a favor to ask to my fellow friends here.

i passed JLPT level 3 recently, so i do have a little knowledge about nihongo. But i still need some of your help coz maybe my translation (in my mind) is not accurate.

ご連絡又CV送付頂き、ありがとうございました。
ご年齢もお若く、可能性はあるかと存じます。
ただご承知の通り、現在日本国内でも大学生、高校生の
卒業後の就職が厳しい状況です。

失礼ながら日本語検定３級で日本国内でのお仕事は大変難しい状況です。
上述の通り、日本人の新卒ですら就職率が６０％、７０％というのが現状です。

フィリピン人の技術者についても各社減員している状況をご理解下さい。
幸い就業中とのことですので、是非勉学に励まれ、最低でも検定１級を取得されることをお勧めします。

私もフィリピンに行く機会などありましたらご連絡させて頂きます。

末筆となりますが、重ねてお申し込みお礼申し上げます。

勉学、仕事に励まれるよう願っております。

ごれんらくまたCVそうふいただき、ありがとうございました。
ごねんれいもおわかく、かのうせいはあるかとぞんじます。
ただごしょうちのどおり、げんざいにほんこくないでもだいがくせい、こうこうせいの
そつぎょうごのしゅうしょくがきびしいじょうきょうです。

しつれいながらにほんごけんてい３きゅうでにほんこくないでのおしごとはたいへんむずかしいじょうきょうです。
じょうじゅつのどおり、にほんじんのしんそつですらしゅうしょくりつが６０％、７０％というのがげんじょうです。

フィリピンじんのぎじゅつしゃについてもかくしゃげんいんしているじょうきょうをごりかいください。
さいわいしゅうぎょうちゅうとのことですので、ぜひべんがくにはげまれ、さいていでもけんてい１きゅうをしゅとくされることをおすすめします。

わたしもフィリピンにいくきかいなどありましたらごれんらくさせていただきます。

まっぴつとなりますが、かさねておもうしこみお礼もうしあげます。

べんがく、しごとにはげまれるようねがっております。

i hope i converted the kanji's properly into their hiragana form.....actually, i am applying for a job and this was their reply. the content in the email said that even japanese college graduate find it hard to look for a job...etc etc....in one of their sentneces, i thought they were saying that i need to pass another exam or level, am irght or wrong? can someone please explain some 3 to 4 sentences from the last part? im having a difficult time connecting the thoughts, so im a little confused on what they are trying to say...are they refusing my application but not in a direct way?? thats why im confused...pleasee advise...thank you.

i hope someone will help me. thank you very much in advance.

***********
the last sentence : bengaku, shigoto ni hagemareru you negatte orimasu (study, we hope to strive to work)....something like that thought...lolz!......if im right, maybe my interpretation might be correct...

*************
i think i did get the thought from the last 3 sentences. (watshi mo...kara bengaku made part)....
what i am still confirming is the 'firipinjin no gijutsusha...phrase"...

To summarize the response, the person regrets that you can't be hired, especially because of the current job situation where even Japanese graduates have a hard time finding jobs. The chances are lower for foreign and Filipino engineers.

Your youth is an advantage in finding a job, but it is not possible with only JLPT 3. He recommends that you study hard and pass at least JLPT 1.

---------------------------------------------

You're having problems understanding because a letter of refusal is usually very polite and indirect--something that happens in English, too.

What this person writes is very true. Jobs are scarce, and a lot of Japanese fresh out of university can't find jobs. Tougher still for high school graduates. With the intense competition for jobs, employers aren't going to choose a foreign national over a Japanese who understands the language and culture natively. If you want to be hired in Japan, you need something exceptional you can offer employers--outstanding skill in some field (engineering in your case, I assume) and near-native competence in Japanese (reading, writing, speaking and listening).

oh thank you so much for the reply. so my interpretation of the message was almost correct. i do have a feeling that he wanted me to pass another level for proficiency.....or something like that thought. oh i see, at least my feeling was confirmed.

youve been very helpful. 本当にありがとうございました。

Isn't 励まれることを願って a lot more common for this ?

よう is appropriate and actually often used in those formal documents; ご配慮賜りますよう、宜しくお願い申し上げます or like that.

OK, thanks. Another formality thing. Yeah, I don't have a good example handy but it's all the time in the paper as よう努力 or something. So I knew it was appropriate, just not so common with 願って ....
