A survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare revealed that one in four university and graduate students who are looking for a job experience sexual harassment.Sexual jokes, meals, relentless invitations to dates, questions about sexual facts, etc. can affect the mind and body of job hunters, such as feeling angry or anxious and diminishing their motivation to get a job.
