第21回 ITER職員募集セミナー

I have worked for about four companies throughout my career due to changing jobs. Will this be seen as a disadvantage during the selection process?

Not at all. However, it depends on the case. If job changes are very frequent and each interval is very short, that can be seen negatively. But if you have stayed at reasonable duration for each company, showing consistent professional development, then it is viewed positively. Random “job hopping” can be viewed as negative. It really depends on the context and whether the changes reflect a clear career development path.

I found an open position with multiple grades (e.g. P4/P5/P6). Does this indicate that more than one person could be appointed? How is the final grade determined, and depending on the grade, are the roles different?​

Opening with multiple grade range is intented for a single position. We advertise it with a multiple-grade range to accommodate diverse profiles. The Director General will decide the exact grade based on the candidate’s qualifications, seniority and experience against to the scope of responsibilities required for the position.
For example, a candidate might be appointed as a section leader or project leader at the P5 level, or, if their profile is particularly strong, even at P6, which might involve roles such as a deputy division head while concurrently assuming the role of section or project leader. We keep our options open to identify the best fit for the position.
The hiring manager, in consultation with the panel, will propose the appropriate grade level based on each candidate’s profile.

If I am not successful during the selection process, but I want to try again for the next opportunity, will the last result affect the outcome of my next application negatively?

No, each position is managed independently. If you are not selected for one position, it does not affect your chances in future applications. So please, do not be discouraged—keep applying.

Which fields are expected to have an increasing number of open calls in the future?

We are actively finalizing the construction phase of the ITER project and moving towards commissioning and operation. Therefore, you can expect more openings for profiles involved in the commissioning and operation of nuclear installations. Additionally, there will continue to be positions in the corporate administrative domain to support the global project activities.
