While you can browse internet-registered job-offer application cards on Job Vacancy Navigation (キャリタスUC) through keio.jp, it is also possible to browse paper files that are only available on hard copy at the careers service desk consisting of job-offer application cards which have been delivered directly from recruiters by post or e-mail.

Specialist files offering overviews by field including for NPOs (independent administrative agencies, aggregate corporations, foundations, etc.), educational corporations, and law, tax, and accounting offices are also available in addition to files on visiting companies received directly from recruiters in the form of job-offer application cards.

Information on changing employment track

Several years' worth of job-offer application cards for corporations and organizations with regional bases in Japan are filed by area. In addition to job-offer application cards, booklets such as those published by local authorities and Chambers of Commerce and Industry are also kept.
However, the amount of such information is somewhat limited. Most local authorities have permanent consultation counters for changing career tracks at local sites, which provide relevant information. Please look these up if you are considering changing career track.
