In Japanese resume or CV which is sent to an emplyer, there is an item in the CV to explain why you want to get this job.

I googled the English format of CV but I couldn't find such kind of item in English CV. Is this a Japanese original way of CV format?

If this is a Japanese original format, I am going to translate into English instead of words or phrases.

Can you please proofread the following boldface expression?

#1 The reason why I apply for the positoin of the job.
#2 The reason why I apply for the job.
#3 The purpose of applying for the job

If there are any other words or phrases expressing above, like a fixed expression, please teach me.
P.S The VC is not for private company but nonprofit corporation like GREENPEACE. Can I use the word "job" for such a nonprofit corporation?
There is one item "OBJECTIVE" in English CV format, what should I fill out in the item?

I think you will find that "Objective" is looking for the reason you are applying for the job..

They want to know that you are a true believer, team-player, and what it is you can bring to their organisation that will be of value to them.
