Self-introduction for a financial sales position

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I majored in Korean language and literature, not business, so I expected that it would be difficult to find a job in the financial sector. I studied hard outside of work and steadily built up the knowledge necessary to join your company. I faced many difficulties while preparing for employment, and I was anxious, but that made me listen more closely to my true voice. When I listened to my inner voice, the answer was the financial sector, so I prepared by studying twice as hard as others through external study programs. As a result, I was recognized by receiving the Grand Prize at the College Student Economic Universiade Competition hosted by E Daily.
Although I do not have specific social experience, I can say that I am like a long pencil with endless possibilities. Now, I want to sharpen my pencil and become someone who can draw unlimited possibilities at your company. I deeply appreciate the excellent benefits and efficiency of your company’s cards, and I want to become someone who can spread this message to your customers.
I took on a reckless challenge that was different from my major, but I overcame it through even greater effort and was recognized for it. I would like to show this spirit of challenge and passion to your company once again. I will become a member of your company who always strives to improve. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

 

 

Financial Industry (Summer Intern) Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
There is one thing that impressed me about your bank. My parents, who were living in the countryside after retirement, were victims of a telephone scam and faced the possibility of losing a large amount of money. I was panicked, but I thought that if I acted quickly, there might be a solution, so I went to a nearby branch of your bank. The bank tellers were very kind and worked hard to solve the problem, and I was very impressed by their efforts. Since then, I have decided to pursue a career in finance, and I have become particularly interested in working for your bank.
First of all, I believe that trust is the most important thing to become a bank teller. And that trust is also my competitive advantage that I can confidently present. Since I was a child, my parents have placed great importance on living independently, so even though I was their only child, I grew up doing everything I needed to do on my own. I went through adolescence like my peers, and there were times when I was not interested in my grades, but my parents respected me and waited patiently. Seeing my parents, I decided to work hard to regain their trust. My efforts to build trust have been recognized by many people as a sign of trustworthiness.
I am standing here today because I want to share the inspiration I received from your bank. I want to be a bank teller who always earns the trust of customers and inspires them. I hope you will give me the opportunity to establish myself as an intern who always does my best and, furthermore, as an employee of your bank.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Self-introduction letter for a position in the financial industry (capital)

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I believe that my most notable strengths are my proactive and challenging personality. I am curious and fearless, so I enjoy taking on new challenges. As a result, I believe that if I want something, I must achieve it, and I have achieved many things by taking on challenges. I also value interpersonal relationships, so I participated in various school activities to maintain a wide network of connections. I believe this is due to the influence of my father, who believes that people are assets. With my ambition to achieve results and accomplishments, my challenging personality, and my understanding of the importance of interpersonal relationships, I would like to become a talented employee who is responsible for the finances of many people at your company.
I realized that I needed to improve my language skills in order to become competitive in the growing global market. I gained language experience through exchanges with foreign students and language training, which allowed me to see a new world firsthand and improve my language skills. After returning to South Korea, I worked part-time as an interpreter, utilizing the language skills I had acquired. My efforts to improve my language skills not only helped me develop my language abilities, but also contributed greatly to my personal growth.
While majoring in business administration, I made a lot of efforts to find my aptitude. I am good at setting goals and thinking strategically, and I have good interpersonal skills with people from various fields, so I think I can play an active role in management planning and finance. If I am hired by your company, I will do my best to achieve your goals and vision based on my positivity and challenging spirit. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Self-introduction letter for a position in the financial industry (hiring-type internship)

I am curious and proactive, and I especially enjoy being in front of others. When I was younger, I attended a public speaking academy, where I learned how to speak coherently in front of others. Since then, I have been actively involved in school activities and have often taken on leadership roles. After entering university, in addition to studying and developing my social skills, I wanted to gain various experiences and become more competitive, so I worked hard to obtain certifications and study languages. In particular, while studying abroad, I was able to develop my language skills and actively communicate with others, which helped me become more competitive.
I applied for this position because I want to confirm my work abilities and gain experience in various tasks at your company, which aims to contribute to the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises and the advancement of the financial industry. In particular, I was inspired by your company’s sharing activities and social contribution activities, and I want to take on various challenges that are in line with the characteristics of a public corporation. This is also the beginning of my pride in your company.

Self-introduction letter for the financial industry

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I always value people and am ready to communicate with them.
I am always ready to treat customers with love and acceptance, and I have worked hard to develop my customer service skills.
When I was assigned to work in the financial industry, I realized that I needed to further develop the virtues and capabilities of a service job, which involves dealing with many customers and preparing answers and optimized products for them, rather than just focusing on the attributes directly related to the job.
In addition, I realized that I needed to develop the ability to see through the times and people and come up with measures to address their needs, rather than being satisfied with simply dazzling people with fancy words. This requires constantly researching new financial products, developing a keen eye for reading trends, and gaining insight into people’s needs and tendencies.
Of course, these skills cannot be acquired overnight. I have worked hard for a long time to build a solid foundation by preparing measures and studying hard.
I sincerely hope that my sincerity and efforts will create a wonderful synergy at your company and produce even more fruitful results. Thank you very much.

 

 

Financial Industry (Bank/Youth Intern) Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
When I entered engineering school, I had only a vague idea that I wanted to find a job in a related field. However, as I began to dream about my capabilities and future growth as I approached graduation, I decided that I wanted to utilize my computer skills and related knowledge in a new field. Then I remembered that I had taken an economics class as a liberal arts course in the past, which I found interesting and did well in. That is why I decided to pursue a career in finance. Unlike other fields that focus on a specific major, I was attracted to the diverse work and growth potential of the financial industry.
I have accumulated high grades in computer-related qualifications, such as computer skills, Morse code certification, and CAD, as well as certified language skills and Chinese characters. I also went on a language study abroad program with the desire to grow by improving my language skills and experiencing the wider world. I believe that my efforts to acquire language skills based on the fundamental knowledge I gained while studying at a technical university will give me a competitive edge. In addition, I broadened my knowledge of world cultures through club activities at university and gained international competitiveness by studying related subjects. I would like to demonstrate these skills as a youth intern at your company.
Watching my parents suffer from the collapse of the national economy during the IMF crisis, I developed a desire to contribute to the market and industry from a young age. That dream resurfaced as I was about to enter the job market, which led me to apply for a position at KEXIM. In particular, I heard that your bank has expertise in various fields and a wide range of business activities, so I believe that if I work hard, I will have great potential for personal growth. Through your youth internship program, I hope to gain a clear understanding of how my skills and abilities can benefit your bank and what my weaknesses are so that I can improve and become a better person. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Financial Services (Banking) Intern Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
My greatest competitive advantage is my service skills. Since entering university, I have gained a lot of experience in service jobs to support myself financially. I actively worked part-time in various fields, from cosmetics stores to grocery stores, and through those experiences, I learned a service mindset and how to communicate with customers. I am naturally cheerful and easy to get along with, but I believe that my part-time work experience helped me develop crisis management and customer communication skills.
The field I was most interested in was insurance. I had been interested in financial products and insurance since I entered university, and I discovered my aptitude for this field when I created a virtual insurance product with my team as part of a class assignment. Although it was just creating an insurance product, the process allowed me to look into the details of financial product planning and gain a variety of knowledge that I had never thought of before. When my professor saw the assignment I submitted, he advised me to develop my skills in finance and insurance, and that is how I found my aptitude.
I believe that the most important factors in banking are an understanding of finance, the expertise that comes with it, and a spirit of service. I have dreamed of becoming a bank employee for a long time, and I have worked hard to develop these skills. I have gained a wide range of social experience and enthusiastically accumulated knowledge in my major, and I have proven my aptitude for finance and insurance by receiving scholarships for four years. I have also developed my social skills through external activities and language study abroad programs. Based on these skills, I hope to perform well as a youth intern at your company and, furthermore, establish myself as a bank teller. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

 

 

General (Intern) Self-Introduction Letter

Hello, my name is ○○○.
Due to my family’s business failure, I have been living day by day with no hope for a better future. Due to my family circumstances, I have been working part-time to pay for my college tuition and have been living my college life just to survive. However, when I think about my situation, which cannot get any worse, I believe that it is an opportunity to find more hope for the future. So, I worked and studied as hard as I could. My bright and lively personality helped me develop a positive mindset, and I was able to successfully complete my college education. It will take time for everything to fall into place, but at this point in my life, where I am working hard to build my future, my positive mindset is my greatest strength.
In addition, I value loyalty. I once won first place in a national college student start-up idea contest with four of my friends. Our team attracted the attention of various venture capitalists, large companies, and the media. Then, a large company contacted me, the team leader, and offered me a job. However, after much deliberation, I firmly declined the offer. The contest results were not something I could have achieved alone, and I believed that if the contest offered us the opportunity to continue our project, it was only right that my teammates and I should all have the same opportunity. In the end, we were unable to start our own company, but our team’s plan was handed over to another company with favorable terms. This experience gave me a strong belief in loyal leadership and taught me the importance of responsibility.
I would like to become a member of your company, working with a positive attitude, loyalty, and trust. I hope to establish myself as a valuable member of your company through the creativity, leadership, and responsibility I demonstrated in the contest. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,

 

 

Financial Services (Bank Teller) Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
My greatest competitive advantage is my service spirit based on my language skills. While taking classes with colleagues who had the same abilities for four years, I thought a lot about how to differentiate myself from them. After much thought, I came to believe that language skills are essential for international competitiveness. In addition, I thought that social experience based on those skills was also necessary. Therefore, I participated in numerous extracurricular activities to receive service training and perform marketing tasks, while steadily improving my language skills. In addition, my greatest competitive advantage is that I understand the power of cooperation. Growing up with my grandparents, who were members of your bank, I felt closer and more familiar with your bank than any other financial institution. That is why I am very proud of your company’s values.
As a member of the student council at my university, I was involved in various administrative tasks and academic events. My greatest achievement was planning a festival, which involved everything from coordinating student council members to technical matters and performance logistics. While serving on the cultural committee of the student council, I learned how to communicate with others by coordinating different clubs and handling practical matters at performances. Through this process, I was able to develop various administrative skills that I had not experienced before, and I believe that this experience will be useful in performing general duties at your company.
With my knowledge and pride in your company, I hope to become a valuable member of your team. I will always strive to contribute to your company’s vision and achieve my own vision while growing as a member of your team. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
