Howtelevision, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yosuke Otonari), which operates GaishiShukatsu.com, a career platform supporting students who aspire to challenge themselves globally, and Liiga, a career support platform for young high-class professionals aiming to become global professionals, released a joint special feature article titled "What Does It Mean to Be 'Jiatama ga Ii'?" (6-part series) on both sites on February 19, 2021 (Friday).
What does "Jiatama ga Ii" mean, and what kind of abilities does it refer to? While it's a term that evokes an innate image, how does it differ from simply being "smart"? Through a 6-part series of articles, we explore what it means to be "Jiatama ga Ii" by asking experts in fields such as "recruitment," "examinations," and "education," as well as professionals with experience in professional firms, for their insights.

■ Project Background
You've probably heard conversations like, "That person is 'Jiatama ga Ii'" or "We want to hire someone who is 'Jiatama ga Ii'."
But what does "Jiatama ga Ii" mean, and what kind of abilities does it refer to? By deliberately using the term "Jiatama" (literally "ground head"), it evokes a special, innate image that is not about the quantity of knowledge, but how does it differ from simply being "smart"? We asked experts in fields such as "recruitment," "examinations," and "education," as well as professionals with experience in professional firms, for its definition. What emerged were concepts such as "fundamental ability," "a foundational ability to succeed anywhere," and "the ability to think deeply."
Through a 6-part series, we explore what it means to be "Jiatama ga Ii."
■ Article Structure
