One-minute self-introduction examples: What format is most effective?

In this blog post, we will provide specific examples of what to include and how to say it in a one-minute self-introduction that will lead to employment success.

 

Product OP Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
Ever since I started walking, I have loved walking so much that I would go places on my own two feet. That’s how I naturally became interested in traveling. So, I decided to study abroad, and while I was in Mongolia, I worked as a tour guide for Korean tourists. Working as a guide in a foreign country using a language I didn’t know, I found that the tourists enjoyed my service, which made me feel very fulfilled. That’s how I came to dream of working in the travel industry.
My major was not related to travel, so I felt that I would need to work harder and study more than I had expected when I first decided to pursue a career in the travel industry. Then I learned about the job of a travel OP, and I began studying to obtain the necessary qualifications, learn the theory of the travel industry, and study cost calculation and product planning, which are necessary for practical work. Among them, I decided that product planning was a good fit for me, so I applied for a product OP position at XX Tour.
I became interested in your company when I saw that you combine volunteer work with travel and hold exhibitions to promote travel products. In addition, your vision of expanding your overseas network made me want to be a part of it. If I am hired, I will always study hard and do my best to help your company achieve its goals.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Research and Development Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I am a candidate with research skills gained through numerous projects. While majoring in food engineering, I participated in many food development projects. The most memorable project was research on improving the taste of kimchi by improving the liquid seasoning. There were many difficulties from selecting ingredients to developing the product, but I visited ports to taste anchovies and sardines to find the best ingredients. Then, through trial and error in the laboratory, I was able to develop the best kimchi. Through this experience, I learned that a lot of effort and sweat goes into researching a product, and I discovered that I feel happy when I see the results of my efforts.
After that, I lived alone in the United States for six months to study English. To endure the loneliness of living in a foreign country, I actively tried to make friends with Americans, and my foreign language skills improved rapidly. By the end of my training, I had gained the nickname “human magnet” because of my improved interpersonal skills. Based on this sociability, I returned to Korea and became the head of a bachelor’s research lab.
I would like to pour my passion for research and development and my active communication skills into your company’s new product research. I would be honored to contribute my passion and hard work to your company’s global expansion. Thank you very much.

 

 

Sales Management Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
There is an old saying, “If you don’t have teeth, you live with your gums.” Just as this saying suggests, I have lived my life with a positive attitude, leading me in the right direction when faced with difficult situations.
There is an old saying, “If you don’t have teeth, you live with your gums.” Like this saying, when I encounter difficult situations, I have lived with a positive attitude so that I can lead myself in a good direction rather than giving up. One example is my life in Mongolia. I went to Mongolia as an exchange student to promote the Korean language, but it was a place that lacked even basic amenities. I contracted a skin disease and became very weak, but I did not want to give up and go back. So, I taught Korean to Mongolian children with all my passion and worked part-time at a Korean restaurant to support myself financially. Through my life in Mongolia, I was able to grow as a person who can adapt to difficult and unfamiliar environments.
I also enjoy meeting new people. I made many friends through various extracurricular activities, such as Beautiful Store, volunteer work in Vietnam, and the Mentor-Mentee Gathering, and these activities helped me develop a personality that allows me to quickly get along with strangers. In addition, although I majored in Chinese, I took business administration classes to improve my marketing skills and increase my value.
Now, I would like to show my value by taking on sales management duties at your company. I believe that the adaptability I have gained through my various experiences will enable me to perform sales management duties well at your company. I believe that my personality and experience will be an asset in maintaining smooth relationships with other departments and clients. Thank you very much.

 

 

Travel Industry (Planning) Self-Introduction Letter

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I am an applicant who dreamed of working in the travel industry after meeting a tour guide at ○○ Tour when I was young.
My first trip abroad was when I was twelve years old. I met ○○ Tour on a trip to China to celebrate my grandmother’s 70th birthday. The guide, who was holding a small flag with “○○ Tour” written on it, gave us detailed and interesting explanations about various historical sites and showed his warm consideration for my grandmother, who had sore knees. After meeting that guide, I decided that I wanted to work in the travel industry.
With a vague dream of working in the travel industry, I went on a solo backpacking trip as soon as I turned 20, and I felt a new sense of excitement as I booked my tickets and checked accommodation information on my own. After that, I went on many trips, both big and small, and as I gained experience, I became good enough to plan trips for my friends.
My encounter with ○○ Tour when I was young inspired me to dream of working in the travel industry, and I gained a wealth of experience through my travels in pursuit of that dream. Gradually, I became fascinated with planning travel packages for people, and that led me to apply for a position at ○○ Tour, the company that helped me realize my dream.
Now, at ○○ Tour, which made my dreams come true, I want to plan trips that are like “commas” where people can reflect on their lives. Just like the guide who gave me a warm comma during my childhood trip, I want to become a planner at ○○ Tour who can give people attractive commas.
Thank you.

 

 

Sales Management Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○, and I am applying for a position in sales management.
My father, who was a soccer player, always told me that “the beginning is half the battle” and to be a person who acts rather than thinks. So I took this saying as my motto in life, and I became a person who actively takes on new challenges. In school, I started a sports club and regularly tried new sports, and I also studied abroad in the Philippines to learn many new things.
Since I was young, I have enjoyed observing my surroundings and the behavior of my friends. I would think, “What would I do in that situation?” and “How would the other person feel if I did that?” This helped me develop a way of communicating with others that is considerate of their feelings. This unique habit allowed me to quickly understand the psychological state and attitude of others and respond appropriately. Furthermore, I studied related books to gain a deeper understanding of human psychology.
I applied to become a salesperson at your company because of the challenge I see in my actions and my ability to communicate with others by considering their feelings and empathizing with them. I always strive to be a salesperson who puts the customer’s interests first, rather than my own, and who shows sincerity and trust along with the products I sell. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

 

 

Sales Management Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○.
Since college, I have been selected as one of NATE’s top 100 bloggers and have been running a beauty blog. It is because of the “beauty” category that I was able to become famous as a blogger. As I was selected as a tester for various brands, I was able to share many stories through a category specializing in cosmetics product introductions and reviews, and I was also able to gain a lot of information. In addition, through my blog, I was able to understand the needs and diverse tastes of consumers of different age groups. I believe that my experience will be helpful in your sales management work.
In addition to my experience as a blogger, I also worked as a college marketer with the support of a brand headquarters. I marketed and sold products at events such as college festivals, and I also gained sales experience at ○○. Perhaps because it suited my personality, I enjoyed my work because it felt more like meeting close friends and chatting with them than serving customers. That is how I realized that sales and marketing are the right fields for me, and that is how I found your company.
In addition, I have traveled abroad with a backpack during each year of college to improve my practical English conversation skills. I believe that these conversation skills will help your company become a leader in the global market as a leading multinational corporation. In addition, I believe that my experience as a blogger and in sales and marketing will serve as a foundation for developing strategies that meet the needs of your company’s customers. Furthermore, I will not be complacent about my abilities, but will continue to develop myself through self-improvement activities such as blogging and foreign language study even after joining your company.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Self-introduction letter for purchasing department

Hello, my name is ○○.
There were five cafeterias at my university. The most popular one was the Global Cafeteria in the international dormitory, which was also frequented by many local students. Your company was the operator of this cafeteria. In particular, the nutritionist would frequently ask students about the taste of the food, the freshness of the ingredients, and any complaints, and showed interest in what they wanted to eat. The menu selection tailored to foreign tastes, the detailed nutritional information posted, and the clean dining environment were what attracted me to your company. I was impressed by how you prepare your menu with the diners in mind, and that is why I decided to apply for this opportunity.
I would like to work in the sales support team, purchasing department. Having grown up in the countryside, I am familiar with the agricultural economy, which is difficult to understand in the city. Therefore, I believe I can find ways to deliver fresh food ingredients to the table at reasonable prices while minimizing distribution and packaging costs. I am also confident that I can utilize my skills to expand your network with producers and enhance your purchasing competitiveness.
The first thing I would like to do after joining your company is to conduct a general satisfaction survey on food ingredients. Satisfaction with food ingredients will vary depending on criteria such as price, quality, and variety, as well as the target audience, such as nutritionists and consumers. This will allow me to gain insight into your company and quickly find the right role for myself. In addition, in three years, I would like to focus on maintaining, supplementing, and expanding the network that connects directly to the production areas. I would also like to establish a system for checking orders, deliveries, and food ingredient status using online and mobile apps. I hope that these plans will be implemented at your company and contribute to its profits. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

 

 

Sales Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I worked as a reporter for my university newspaper for four years. In my senior year, I was the editor-in-chief. The process of publishing a newspaper once a week can be described as a process of interacting with people. The constant planning meetings, interviews, proofreading, editing, and printing processes, as well as communicating with the people who come to us, ultimately determine the interest and quality of the newspaper. That is why I came to believe that communication with people is very important, and through my four years of experience as a reporter for the school newspaper, I learned how to communicate with people.
In addition, I was selected as an outstanding student in my department and went to the UK as an exchange student for a year after completing my second semester of my junior year. In order to gain as much as possible from my exchange program, I joined the Extreme Sports Club, where I swam, surfed, and rock climbed every weekend, meeting many people and building up my physical strength. Through communicating with friends from different countries, I was able to learn about passionate friendship and teamwork.
When I was in my third year of college, I received asset management counseling to manage the money I had earned from my part-time jobs over the years. The video FC showed me inspired me to take on the challenge of becoming a salesperson. The video was about a father who became a successful business leader but lost his legs in an accident and had to rely on his daughter’s help to get around. The 15-minute video made me think deeply about how I should manage my assets and how I should live my life. I realized that sales is ultimately about moving people’s hearts. I rethought my relationships with the people I had met so far, and I wanted to utilize various communication methods as a salesperson. I would like to show what true sales is as a salesperson who moves people’s hearts at your company.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Store Sales Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I was born in a rural village and grew up there until high school. Then, when I started college in Seoul, I became curious about new things. So, throughout my college life, I took on volunteer work, student council activities, club activities, and even participated in many nationwide contests to seize every opportunity to experience new things. Rather than feeling pressure to succeed, my priority was to gain enjoyable experiences. Perhaps because of this, I was able to complete all of my activities with a sense of enjoyment and responsibility.
Taking on many challenges also means that I failed many times. However, those failures were valuable experiences that helped me grow. I realized that the important thing in failure is reflection and self-examination, and I made an effort to recover and improve so that I would not repeat the same mistakes. Through failure, I was able to improve myself and fill in the gaps in my knowledge and skills.
I was particularly interested in volunteer work. This was related to my sociability, which allowed me to greet strangers and children of my age without feeling awkward when I met them on the streets of my hometown. Recognizing the value of people, caring for them, and communicating with them became a great pleasure for me. In addition, I grew up seeing the virtues of sharing, so I have always strived to be a person who knows how to give what I have.
With my outgoing personality, willingness to try new things, fearlessness in the face of failure, and passion for filling in the gaps, I will become an outstanding store sales representative for your company. I will also serve customers with a warm heart and become a trusted member of your company who can move their hearts.
Thank you.

 

 

Sales Self-Introduction

Hello.
I am ○○○, an applicant who earns trust through sincerity.
Regardless of the size of the task, I have always done my best in everything I do.
I do not judge the importance of work and think that I should be faithful in some areas but not in others. I believe that all work in the world is a stepping stone for my growth, and that I can only grow smoothly if I respond closely to each and every task.
In addition, when dealing with people, I believe that it is important to always do my best to respond to them, rather than changing my behavior based on superficial characteristics, prejudices, or preconceptions, which can make me appear inconsistent.
This became the foundation for my character, which is known for never cutting corners or running away from challenges, and it allowed me to gain recognition without resorting to desperate measures to get noticed by others.
Compared to when I was a naive newcomer, I have grown a lot, but I still have a lot of room for improvement, and I believe that I must continue to do so today.
I hope that my aspirations will blossom into further development at your company. Thank you very much.
