January and February, right after the new year, are crucial times to prepare for job hunting: March marks the official start of job hunting for the Class of '28, while spring internships approach for the Class of '29. It is a period when you will be overwhelmed with creating ES (Entry Sheets) and researching companies, leaving you with much less time than expected.

The shortcut to receiving a job offer is to finish what you can prepare early, before things get busy. This time, we will explain "preparing your ID photo," a detail that many job-seeking students tend to overlook.

Let's look at the key points to gain an edge with a strong start after the new year.

3 Reasons to Prepare Your ID Photo Early

①Avoid the Peak Season

As the official start of job hunting in March approaches, studio reservations gradually fill up. Not a few job-seeking students are forced to compromise with photos taken in a hurry because they couldn't get a reservation at their desired date and time.

If you finish your photo shoot early, you can avoid the peak, allowing you to pursue the best possible finish in a relaxed environment.

②Immediate Submission for Early Selection Processes

Depending on the company, winter internships and early selection processes start running from an early stage. In these selection processes, photo submission is often required; without a photo on hand, your application gets postponed, and before you know it, the deadline has passed... sound familiar?

If you have the digital data ready, you can respond immediately to sudden selection starts or early ES submissions, ensuring you never miss an opportunity!

③Securing Mental Peace of Mind and Preparation Time

At this time of year, job-hunting students have a mountain of tasks: writing ES, preparing for SPI tests, and practicing for interviews.

By completing your ID photo shoot first, you can remove "photo preparation" from your to-do list and focus on other important preparations. Additionally, even if there are points you wish to retake, you can plan a reshoot with time to spare!

To Get Even Further Ahead

Since you are starting your preparations at this time, instead of settling for a quick photo booth, we recommend preparing a photo you are genuinely satisfied with from the very beginning.

At first glance, photo booths may seem more efficient, but leaving it to professionals often makes the process smoother in the long run.

The Peace of Mind of Being Able to Submit "With Confidence"

As internships and early selection processes progress, the awareness of students around you will also heighten. Amidst this, if you are using a photo you aren't satisfied with, a small seed of anxiety like "Maybe I should have taken a better photo..." might cross your mind. It is not uncommon for job-seeking students to rebook at a studio right before the main selection process begins, thinking, "I should go to a professional studio after all."

If you take a photo you are fully satisfied with by a professional from the start, such doubts will disappear completely! By having the confidence that "this photo will be fine," you can approach interviews with a more positive mindset.

Furthermore, it saves you the time, effort, and cost of taking retakes.

Peace of Mind with Complex "Web Submission Sizes" from Professionals

In recent web entries, photo data sizes and image ratios often differ from company to company. With a professional studio, you can get optimal data that can be used directly on your smartphone or PC! There is no need to worry about panicking during the uploading process.

No Need to Prepare Suits or Dye Your Hair Black Before Shooting!

"I haven't prepared a suit yet..." "I'm hesitant to dye my hair black right away." If you feel this way, don't worry.
At 19Studio, we can resolve these anxieties with professional technology.

Black Hair Correction (Free)

According to your preferences for job hunting, we can also apply a natural "dark hair correction" processing. Because we correct the shade to a natural tone close to your original hair, those who cannot dye their hair black right now can rest assured!
