How does one actually do 就活

Hello,

I am an international student currently studying for my Master's (Tech) at a graduate university in Japan. I am set to graduate in March 2027, and it seems that right now is the time to start job hunting.

As much as people advise me to do so, no one actually mentions how to do 就活.

Do I attend job seminars? Do I research and apply to companies? Do I browse LinkedIn, Indeed, and other platforms? Do I get my JLPT?

Some advice would be nice. For reference, I plan to take my N3 this July (I know it is lower than market standard) and have an internship, arubaito, and freelance experience under my belt here in Japan.
