I will lead your company to the top in Korea’s F&B sector
Your company is the only company in Korea that is recording unrivaled growth in the F&B sector, except for affiliates of large conglomerates. As a company that has been recognized for its quality by supplying to some of Korea’s leading hypermarkets as well as hotels, I am confident that your company will reach the top position in Korea’s F&B sector. To do so, I believe that you need to be more aggressive in marketing and sales. I have applied for the position with the ambition of using my experience and abilities to support your company’s development as a person who will help you to reach the top position in Korea’s F&B sector.
I have experience in paperwork, statistics, sales documentation, sales closing, and performance closing that accompany sales activities. I know from experience what needs to be emphasized and supported when establishing a sales strategy or delivering sales instructions to field salespeople based on the sales strategy.
Based on this experience, I will play an important role in moving all employees toward the company’s growth by producing the best performance in my work and taking care of and supporting the employees I work with. I will be an employee who grows with the company with a sense of ownership and responsibility.
I will be a marketing professional who pursues your company’s unique style
I was deeply impressed by the way you pursued your own unique style in pursuit of design aesthetics, not just following the trend of fashion according to universal preconceived notions, with the principle of “you should know it’s our product just by looking at the silhouette.” You are like a seasoned hunter who has been hunting for a long time for a simple style that is easily recognized by the silhouette alone, not by distracting designs, but by reversing the conventional ideas to make a deep impression and sufficient practicality.
If I were to join your company, I would focus on understanding the exact implications of your designs, which are not limited to worldly prejudices or fads, and utilizing marketing that takes those qualities into account, because I know that marketing is not just a promotion that caters to the needs of buyers, but also reflects the philosophy and tenacity of the seller, so that the pole can be unwavering and the image can be consistently trustworthy. I look forward to the day when we can work together to develop marketing as a meeting place where your ideology, the characteristics of your products, and the needs of buyers meet in harmony. Thank you.
I have been interested in translation since childhood
I started studying languages in earnest with a hobby for overseas dramas, and one of the ways I used to refine my linguistic skills was to compare the original and translated versions of novels, and to compare them with my own translations. As I repeated such efforts, I gradually realized that even the same work translated by different publishers can be of different quality, and as I became more and more discerning, I was attracted to your company’s style of always remaining faithful to the original interpretation and never forgetting the essence of translation, and I had the desire to become a part of your company’s translation work.
If I can be in charge of translation work at your company, I will always work with enthusiasm to prove my language skills, which were developed out of a pure desire to enjoy cultural life easily, not because of anyone’s pressure or to improve my grades. In my daily life, I constantly review movies and dramas to replenish my language skills and acquire new neologisms to keep up with the latest language updates. Like stagnant water rotting away, I will always move forward with a fierce flow, and I will be an employee who can fully utilize my language skills. Thank you.
I will strive to develop your company’s food products with the taste I developed as a child
As a child, I used to go down to my maternal grandmother’s house to refine my palate, savor various ingredients and formats of food, and even venture into the realm of cooking my own food, so it’s no wonder that my interest in food-related research and development was sparked by the presence of my maternal grandmother, who instilled in me the right sense of taste. I joined your company in order to properly understand and analyze the value of foods that are often described as “handmade” or “grandmotherly,” but whose actual benefits or functions are rarely understood.
If I join your company, I would like to provide basic data for research and development with the know-how and taste of my maternal grandmother’s food from my childhood, as you seek to overcome the limitations of processed foods and preserve and flavor them using the wisdom of nature as much as possible. I would also like to work on the development of food that will enhance the effects of food, such as the myths of “eat to grow taller” and “get stronger,” or research to understand the changes in human body shape and the relationship between regular nutritional intake and human growth.
A businessman who sells through storytelling
It’s been said that the most common approach to breaking the ice in a business setting is to talk about the weather, family, or children, but it’s also been said that interests, hobbies, and the culture of the country are more effective in opening up a conversation. This is something we all know, but it’s easy to forget in practice because we get caught up in the moment. When I read a story about a businessman who started a conversation by quoting a passage from a famous author from the other country, I felt like a light bulb went off in my head. I realized that this was the answer to how to put the cultural things I care about into practical use. Business is a game of numbers and strategy, but the larger context of that game is people. I realized that culture and storytelling based on culture are the key to winning people’s hearts and minds.
So I set myself the goal of being a businessman who can tell stories. I read books constantly, and I’m interested in various contents such as anime, movies, and dramas. I wrote, drew comics, and honed various tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash to express my interests in my own stories, and I was convinced that being able to express my thoughts through various channels would be my strength. I decided that global business and trade were the areas where I could best utilize these strengths, so I applied for the position.
Corporate training is where I know I’m best at
I didn’t hesitate to apply for corporate training because I knew it was where I could excel. I have studied many companies during my research activities at the Academy of Management, and I have analyzed your company’s case, so I am not a stranger to your company, and although I may not know everything about it, I am familiar with it, and I believe that I will be able to grasp your company’s work at an early stage.
I believe that companies and their people work best when they’re on the same page, and that’s what I’ll be focusing on. By trying to do everything well, I’m someone who strives to excel where I belong. This will not change when it comes to working for your organization. As a newcomer to the workforce, I have applied for a position in corporate training. As a new employee, I will do my best to do my job with enthusiasm and ambition; I will quickly acquire specialized knowledge in my field; I will set an example for everyone by leading by example; and I will work with an eye on the future, not for immediate profit, but for the future in 10 or 20 years. I will do my best to ensure that the employees I have trained become stable and contribute to the development of the company.
A master of technical sales to satisfy customers
For the past 20 years, Taesan Sangjeok has been the Korean distributor of OLYMPUS Optical Microscopes in Japan, providing products such as OLYMPUS microscopes and IMAGE ANALYZERS through 14 regional distributors nationwide. As a sales channel for customizing and distributing optical standard products and special products, we manufacture and support systems that overcome the limitations of conventional microscopy in Japan and beyond. I have applied to be a part of your company as a professional technical salesperson because you have grown by striving to provide customers with the support they want, where they want, with the customized equipment they want.
I will acquire a wealth of knowledge about the machines and equipment we provide to our customers, sell them to the customers who want them, and provide technical guidance until they are satisfied. When problems arise after the sale, I will proactively take care of them, and keep the company’s trust by providing ongoing support services.
I will actively learn from everything I do, satisfy customers with the mindset of “everything comes from the customer,” and grow the company with my best performance.
Marketers challenging the future!
CJ is a cultural company that brings health, enjoyment, and convenience to people’s daily lives. In the entertainment and media sector, CJ serves as a pioneer in promoting Korean culture so that the world can enjoy Korean movies, Korean dramas, and Korean music, and is expanding into the global market with various Korean food brands.
I majored in economics at university, where I learned that capturing the hearts of consumers through marketing is a key management strategy for companies. I love to communicate and interact with people, and I am a good and meticulous worker. With these strengths, I applied to CJ to play an important role in helping CJ grow into a cultural company that is part of people’s lives around the world.
Once I join CJ, I will always communicate with my seniors and coworkers with a humble attitude; I will learn from my experiences and overcome difficulties with a smile; I will build a marketing strategy that makes customers happy and engage them so that they will come back to CJ and become our ambassadors; and I will continue to challenge the future with CJ as we expand into a world-class company.
Researchers who take pride in doing something worthwhile!
While there are activities that are necessary in the private sector to protect and preserve the environment, I believe it is also important for professionals to produce results through direct research that improves the environment within the framework of national laws and systems. Therefore, I applied to join your company as a researcher because I wanted to utilize my major to play a role like salt in protecting our environment.
No matter how small a role I am given, if it can contribute to the company’s core research, I will play my part and contribute to the overall performance. I will work well with my seniors and colleagues, and work with sincerity and enthusiasm. I will practice what I know with my body and make it my own, and if I need knowledge for my job, I will stay up all night to acquire it and apply it to my work.
I believe that saving the environment is a way to save the earth and a way for humanity and nature to coexist, and if my abilities, talents, and efforts can be used for such a task, I believe that life is worth living, so I will be a researcher who takes pride in what I do and creates good results.
An expert in foreign trade that elevates national brands!
I don’t have much experience in trade practice and sales yet, and I’m in the position of an inexperienced newcomer, so I’m willing to learn one step at a time and adapt quickly. However, I believe that no matter how new you are, you should have your own ambition to become a contributing figure to the company. My future hope and ambition after joining the company is to be an expert in overseas trade that elevates national brands. It sounds lofty, but it’s hard to realize in reality, and it’s a goal that I can see the possibility of based on my long working experience.
In the short term, I would like to grow into a person who can contribute to the company and play a role in growing the overseas sales department, and in the long term, I would like to become a person who can make great contributions to the company based on my practical experience and have the ability to raise the brand of the country in the name of the company. Therefore, I would like to create a win-win result where I can grow our company as a unique company in the field of overseas trade and sales and grow myself as well. In that regard, I will always be a sincere and active participant in sales practices, starting with supporting the sales department that I will be in charge of after joining the company. On the other hand, I will constantly study and strive to fully master the knowledge of trade correspondence, import and export customs clearance, and customer management manuals. As a result, I will be a person who dedicates his or her time to the company, a person who sets an example for others through hard work, and a person who boosts the morale of the organization.
Employees who use their spare time to improve themselves
Getting a job is not all about getting hired. Even when I was a new employee, I didn’t neglect self-improvement. I believe that people develop as much as they try, and their work capabilities grow as much as they develop, so every evening during my tenure, I would head to the library when I got off work. I didn’t know much about my job when I first started, so I filled in the gaps by reading related books or experience books.
As the first year progressed, I was careful not to become complacent, because the work in the secretarial team is often repetitive, so I sometimes felt bored with the job itself – it’s the same thing I’ve always done, and I can do it well without any special effort. So I didn’t try to develop any further, and I didn’t try to do anything new. But just when I was thinking like that, a new employee came in, and shortly after that, a college intern came in, just like I did in college, and I thought differently. I regained the passion I had then, and I tried even harder to make my mark.
So, during my morning and evening commute, I read and looked at conversation books to improve my language skills. I already knew how to speak Japanese, but I had forgotten because I didn’t have to use it often at work, so I started studying it again. I also bought a book on current affairs and started studying it separately. I also gained knowledge about the relevant fields of my current company, which gave me the ability to get promoted before others and apply to your company. Your company is an enviable company in the secretarial field. If I were to pursue a career with your company, I would be an employee who is loyal to the company and performs to the best of my abilities, and I would be an employee who continues to improve along the way, so my goal is to be described as someone who is always full of possibilities.
To enter a slightly bigger world
I was living a satisfying life in a tax accountant’s office, where I was recognized and developed my skills. I had a good personality, no problems with my boss, and a comfortable life, but I always had a desire to work in a bigger place. I was looking for a more interesting company with more diverse people and a little more money, and I came across this job posting. From what I understand, this is a company of big thinkers who are looking to export. I’d love to help them do what they’re doing, managing, recording, and mobilizing money, and I’d love to be a part of that project.
There are three things I can promise you. First, I promise to be loyal to the company, not just someone who goes through the motions and punching a clock to get paid, but a thinking employee who thinks about what the company needs before the company asks for it. Secondly, I will be a diligent learner. I will learn what I can from the company now that I am not letting up on learning, so that I can grow quickly and become familiar with the work quickly. I will also be a consistent person who always works the same way as the first time. I will work as hard as I did at the time when I desperately wanted this job, not just because I am used to it. I am a ready worker. Someone who will help move the company forward with integrity and hard work. I hope you will do well.
I will be an employee who never stays in one place and constantly develops
I’ve always admired your company, and even though you manage an administration in a place where you have to constantly evolve, you don’t stay in the same place, and that’s what makes you a wonderful and beautiful place for me. I wanted to be a part of that, so I studied public administration in college and graduated with honors, and when I graduated, I immediately applied to your company.
If I work for your company, I will always work with passion, I will always check myself and study to make sure that I am working hard, and I will be a person who develops himself to make a plan and execute it, and I will listen to people with a learning attitude. I am a newcomer who has a solid academic foundation but still lacks practical experience. I will take notes and learn from the smallest things, remembering that I am at the lowest position regardless of my age and education, and I will respect and honor people. And I will respect and honor the elders so that I can learn from them and become a person who can follow in their footsteps. Please believe me. Thank you.
I will be a real exhaust expert and help your company become better
I will be an expert. If I join your company, I will be an expert based on the knowledge I have accumulated, based on my internship experience, based on my constant research on your company and the market, and finally, based on my passion. I will be a real expert, so I will be an employee with a proven track record who can elevate your company’s capabilities. I will be an employee with a strong spirit who will not get tired and will plan and execute marketing that is more creative and more fun.
I admire your results-driven marketing, and I’ll be an empowering person for your organization. I’ve always admired your company, and this application coincides with the end of my internship, so I will be an ambitious employee who will work hard, prepare endlessly, and execute endlessly until you recognize and impress your customers. If you believe in me, I will show it with my performance. Thank you.
I will be the best in financial sales
I strive every day to be the best in the field of financial sales. While at my previous company, I studied for a financial professional license to improve my professionalism. It was not easy to combine my work at the company with studying for the license, but I enjoyed learning new things, so I studied with pleasure, and last month I obtained the license.
I would like to join your company and become a loyal employee. I believe that a win-win situation can be achieved when the company and the employee have the same goals and do their best. I want to be a person who understands the organization from both a supervisor’s point of view and a colleague’s point of view and exerts the power of cooperation for the company. I will also be sincere with my customers and help them gain trust and create value through accurate information. This will require not only a spirit of service, but also professional knowledge of financial products, including unique investment strategies. Therefore, I will always work with an attitude of learning, adapting to changes, and sometimes leading the way.
Throughout my life, I have always had a cheerful and appreciative attitude towards my surroundings, which has helped me become the person I am today. I want to become a recognized talent by sticking to the basics. I will do my best to be an expert in my field.
I will strive to develop my abilities without losing my attitude of learning
I believe that improving the quality of products is an important part of achieving corporate goals. In order to meet the needs of customers, high-quality products that accurately reflect their requirements must be produced. In order to meet the needs of the times, I believe that quality assurance work will become even more important. Therefore, the work of ensuring the quality of products before they are delivered to customers will be said to be of high importance. I will work to the best of my ability with this sense of responsibility. As a company with competence in many business fields, the most important thing is to provide products that satisfy customers. I would like to be recognized by working for a company that always strives to achieve customer satisfaction.
As a member of your company, I will always be willing to learn and strive to develop my skills. I am confident that I am the kind of person you are looking for, as I am detail-oriented, perfectionist, and take responsibility for my work. I have been working hard to do my best without being ashamed of myself, and I hope you will appreciate my efforts. Please give me the opportunity to grow with your organization.
To get it right, a salesperson should always study
I’m never home on the weekends because it’s the nature of sales to be on the road and to be busy, so on the weekends I literally just want to flop down and relax, but the longer you’re in sales, the more I think you can’t just take it easy, because if you do, you’re going to die. So I always go out and take classes. There are tons of courses out there for salespeople. Nowadays, even if you’re a pharmacist, you have to do sales, and you can’t survive by just being a pharmacist, and the most needed and recruited person in the company is a salesperson, so sales is an issue, so various places are raising salespeople, and I try to develop myself a lot by taking those lectures. Also, I’m a person who thinks that if you have a lot of inputs, you can have a lot of outputs, so I read books and pay attention to current events on TV so that I can communicate with any people.
I’ve only ever worked in sales, so if I were to change careers, I was thinking about sales, and the sales I was thinking about was insurance. I think insurance has the highest profit margin and is something that people really need, so I would like to start selling to your company. If I join your company, I will work with my experience, and I will be a person who will work diligently to develop your company, and I hope that you will take care of me.
A talent who steadily develops competence in the field of mechanical design
A precise plan and precise movement is a much more efficient path to success. In mechanical terms, my way of doing this would be to set up a detailed plan and strive to assemble the parts without any errors. I am always nervous about making any errors, and I would like to improve my capabilities in the mechanical design field I aspire to, just as I have been able to set up a detailed plan and stick to it without any deviations. As a result, I have been focusing on finding a company that can help me improve my work skills, and your company has impressed me with the precision with which you have always set goals and achieved or exceeded them.
Furthermore, the fact that your targets are not set in a vacuum, but rather are based on solid grounds and precise reasoning, fascinates me even more, and as someone who takes pleasure in creating precise plans and fitting myself into them, I am eager to work under your rigorous goals to improve my skills and work as a member of a team that knows how to get the job done. I want to contribute to the diversification and localization of medical equipment.
Talent contributing to the diversification and localization of medical equipment
In Korea, medicine and nursing are well developed, and the field of medical assistants is gradually expanding. However, the development of medical equipment has been slower. As I felt while majoring in medical engineering, there are not many fields that engineers who majored in medical devices can enter. Although it is possible to enter the field of research and development of medical devices as a researcher, there are not many companies that directly develop and market these devices. Although there are private companies, their development is slower than overseas trends in terms of technology and new methods. Therefore, I want to improve the reality of relying on foreign medical devices and become a talented person who contributes to the development and advancement of medical devices in Korea.
Specifically, as an expert in R&D, I would like to become a person who is involved in the development process from basic research to application and commercialization. To realize this ambition, I have applied to your company’s medical equipment development department, and based on my years of engineering studies, I will continue to devote myself to research and development, so that I can contribute to your company’s development and sales expansion, and secondly, contribute to the diversification and localization of medical equipment in Korea. Please look out for talented people who think far and see big. Thank you.
Investing in me creates the future of the company
I am a very frugal person. The money I earn is the result of my own hard work, so it’s too precious for me to spend it carelessly. I’m often criticized by others for not spending money well, but I try to save a penny or two to spend on something big later. Personally, I’m thinking about buying a house or doing something for my family. But if there’s one area where I’m not so stingy with my money, it’s self-improvement.
Especially if it’s related to my work, not my hobbies. For example, as a white-collar worker, I’m very good at spending money on courses to get certified in OA skills. It’s not a waste of money to enroll in a school, buy textbooks to prepare for the certification, and study while completing the course. Similarly, if there are books on organizational life, handling, and personal development that I need to know in order to work in a company, I often buy them. And if I have friends or seniors who work in the same job and can give me advice, I also often buy food. In this way, I can say that when I receive a salary, I spend at least 10% of it on things related to self-development and work ability development. So if I join your company, I will be an employee who fully utilizes the abilities that I have developed as a result of my self-development.
I will be responsible for running an efficient organization!
As a company that produces and supplies high quality materials, your company does not only pursue corporate profits, but also values giving back to society, and has set an example for many companies with its environmentally conscious policies. It has been recognized for its excellence in quality and proved itself to be an environmentally friendly company by winning the Minister of Environment Award at the Korea Eco-friendly Building Materials Awards. I applied for the job because I think it would be an honor to work in the management support team of such a company.
I grew up in an educated family, where I learned responsibility and humility, and I have a good level of English language skills that make writing and communication come naturally to me, as well as friendliness and leadership, which are important qualities in social life. She attended a computer school in her spare time to improve her OA skills and earned ITQ and computer literacy certificates. I am also interested in social service activities and was a student council president during my college career, which taught me the importance of a community of people working together.
Based on these capabilities, I will quickly adapt to the workplace and thoroughly implement what I have learned from my seniors. I believe that the field of management support requires a big-picture view and sober decision-making skills to ensure that an organization runs efficiently. No matter how much technology or talent a company has, if the roots of management support are shaky, the company’s growth will be futile. Therefore, I will grow into a core member of the management support team that manages talent well and provides optimal support to help organization members perform at their best.
Let’s continue to add value to your efficiency strategy together!
Although I was not blessed with any exceptional qualities or circumstances, the root of my fairly smooth life path was my commitment to fully utilizing the same thing that applies to everyone: time. My strategy of studying for 4 hours when someone else studies for 2 hours, waking up for 5 hours when someone else sleeps for 8 hours, and trying to use every little bit of time as a springboard to ultimately push myself forward, is a strategy that has always appealed to me, and your efficiency strategy of encouraging people to work harder instead of working overtime is a strategy that I’ve always been drawn to.
If I am able to join your company, I will gather the essence and know-how of all the time utilization strategies that have brought me to this point, and strive to manage my schedule and distribute my work more efficiently, focusing first and foremost on time utilization that fits together like a puzzle. I will not be in a hurry to fill up my time with mere numbers, volumes, or hours, but will savor each task and deeply accept its effectiveness and results. I will also always closely review my performance and strive to achieve results that can be demonstrated by objective numbers.
An adventurer who is driven by customer needs and the trends of the times
I’ve been climbing mountains with my father since I was in elementary school, and I’ve been to all of Korea’s famous mountains, including Seoraksan and Jirisan. When I climb a mountain, it’s hard enough that my legs feel heavier and the load on my shoulders feels heavier as I get closer to the top, but when I get to the top after overcoming the pain, I realize that it was all worth it. When you climb a mountain, you see the trees up close, but when you get to the top and look down at the forest, you see the trees differently, and I think it’s important to have the perspective to see the forest as well as the trees in your social life.
If I join your company, which is a comprehensive advertising agency specializing in broadcasting, advertising, promotions, and events, I will work with creative planning and ideas. I will satisfy customers with quality content that reflects their needs and leads the trend of the times, and contribute to strengthening the company’s competitiveness and improving sales.
I will become a talent who provides customer satisfaction and customer perspective service
I am currently working for an overseas affiliated company. This company is recognized in its field, and as my first job before graduation, it has given me a standard for organization and company life. However, before graduation, due to the recommendation of my school, I wanted to get a job early, and without seriously thinking about my role in the organization and what I wanted to do in the future, I accepted the job despite the condition that I was a contract employee. Although it was a good experience, I am applying to the company again as a new employee because I want to work in a field that is more suitable for me, a field that I chose after serious consideration, when I think about my future in five to ten years. I want to quickly adapt to the organization and add to the professionalism of my capabilities by taking advantage of the experience I have gained through my school years, part-time jobs, and my short but previous experience in the company.
I believe that the foundation of any company is customer satisfaction, regardless of the industry or profession, and that at the base of any job is a focus on service from the customer’s perspective. I want to use my planning skills to build on everything I’ve learned in customer care and put my passion to work at the forefront of what the company wants and what customers want.
I’m also very adaptable and speak Japanese!
In a way, Japanese is a language that has been a catalyst in my life. When I wanted to live a quiet life and lost confidence, I met Japanese and it helped me build my confidence. It made me go out into the world, and through Japanese, I was able to meet different people and have great experiences. It also helped me decide what my dreams were, and it became a stepping stone for me to move towards them. My love for the Japanese language is strong, and I have tried to perfect it and done well. I believe that my skills will allow me to get up to speed quickly in your company. I am also very adaptable. Through my various experiences in Japan, I am confident that I can adapt quickly and work hard anywhere, and I can show you right now that I can do that. I will adapt well and work hard wherever I go.
Your company has a large branch in Japan, and this time I heard that you are looking for someone to coordinate between Koreans and Japanese and coordinate with the Korean branch. I looked up your company’s work in preparation for the job, and you are really reaching out to various businesses in Japan, and you are a company that continues to innovate to develop in the future. I admire your company for that. As a member of your company, I will work hard and diligently to help your company develop without any shame, and I look forward to working with you. Thank you.
I’ll bring my years of experience to your organization!
I have been working as a general secretary for many years, and over the course of my career, I have been able to acquire my own know-how and gain confidence in my work. I would like to contribute to the development of your company based on this confidence.
I believe that the greatest quality of a general secretary is inclusiveness. As a person who is in charge of the company’s affairs in general, I believe that inclusiveness and open-mindedness are the foundation for eliciting cooperation from all departments. I also believe that I should be interested in the company as a whole and have the ability to collect information, because in order to perform general duties, I need to be able to see the forest for the trees. Therefore, after joining your company, I will strive to analyze information about your company and understand the work of each department. Based on these efforts, I will lead cooperation and help the company develop to the next level.
I believe that your company is the place where I can fulfill these ambitions. Please give me the opportunity to work for your company, which is a leader in its field and is improving every year. I promise that I will work to the best of my ability.
I have proficiency in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese!
I thought that foreign language proficiency was the most fundamental to build professional competence in trade affairs, so I made an effort to learn various languages. In addition to English, I learned Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese, all of which have active trade with Korea. I think I enjoyed studying them because I had a special talent for languages. I realized that trade affairs requires not only good language communication, but also a good understanding of the cultural characteristics of the country. Based on this idea, I traveled abroad a lot in college, and although it was for a short period of time, I was able to naturally understand their culture while living there. I think that experience helped me a lot in my trade activities.
In college, I majored in business administration and strived to build the business knowledge necessary for trade affairs. I actively participated in my studies and conducted research activities to broaden my knowledge, which was the basis for me to receive scholarships for all four years with excellent grades. In my third year of college, I participated in a thesis competition and won the first prize. My research on ○○ is published in ○○.
After graduating from college, I specialized in marketing Vietnam in trade and was transferred to an overseas office to work in the Vietnam branch. I led the team well through harmony with local workers and achieved 10% growth in sales within a year of my transfer. I believe that this field experience will help me to be recognized by your company. I will do my best to become an indispensable talent for your company with my proficient foreign language skills and field sense.
A cog in the company’s wheel!
I understand that your company is the best company in charge of the automotive industry in Korea. When you’re already the best, it’s hard to imagine where you can go from there, but being the best in Korea isn’t enough, and I’m fascinated by your company’s growing global reach.
I know that you have already made great strides in the U.S., winning the support of consumers with your high quality and affordable price point. I want to play a small but valuable role in your company’s growth to become an even bigger global automotive company in the future.
I have obtained my MOS Master certification and am proficient in PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Access programs. There must be countless employees who deal with office work and countless people who assist them to ensure their expertise. I am joining your company as an office assistant, but once I am here, I will not think of myself as a mere assistant, but rather as a small and precious screw that the company needs.
I’ve prepared myself to be able to hit the ground running, so when I’m given a task, I’ll do it perfectly with my meticulous nature.
I will be the first person to reach out to my coworkers to talk through any issues so that we can get along better. I will fit in where I am needed and be a cog in the wheel.
A special talent for space and color
When I was studying abroad, my professor complimented me on my ability to use color in a very sophisticated way, which inspired me to look up and study more about color and psychology, color and marketing, and other related fields. I had a desire to be the best at whatever I was good at. I chose colors that fit the characteristics of the space and applied them to my work, and I get pleasure when I design a space with the intention of creating a special feeling and people say that they feel the way I intended in the space.
If I get hired by ○○, which I think is the best interior company in Korea, I will be the best interior designer who deserves to work for the best company. I will not be satisfied with my capabilities and will strive to grow even more after I am employed. I will find passionate and creative ideas and create wonderful works with my colleagues, contributing not only to my own growth but also to the growth of the company.
I have been trying to develop my language skills!
Not satisfied with the connections and exchanges I have made in Korea, I always strive to develop my language skills so that I can actively continue the good work when I go abroad. This is not only a necessary skill for my aspirations in the international trade business, but also a way to increase the number of “opportunities” for exchanges in my life. Therefore, I have been investing most of my spare time to learn and master not only English and Chinese, which are used internationally, but also languages with a relatively small presence, such as Japanese, French, and Spanish.
While I’m not yet proficient in all of them, I’m able to communicate almost flawlessly in English and Mandarin, which I use frequently in my professional life, and I can communicate in the other languages through written and body language to the point where I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable traveling to those countries. My end goal is to get all of my various languages to the point where I’m comfortable in spoken conversation, and every day I’m taking one step at a time toward that goal.
