Self-introduction for overseas sales

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I would describe myself as an energetic person with strong leadership skills. That is why I served as student council president throughout middle and high school, and in middle school, I was selected as one of the 10 outstanding students in Gangwon Province and visited Tottori Prefecture in Japan. Through these experiences, I decided that I wanted to become someone who could reach beyond the borders of Korea and expand my horizons overseas. Although I couldn’t communicate with my homestay family, I learned how to communicate by experiencing their school life and culture. In addition, when I was a junior in college, I spent a year as an exchange student in Japan, where I interacted with many more people. The experience of going to another country and interacting with a different culture ultimately made me a person who can see the world from a broader perspective.
I worked as an intern at a duty-free shop, where I was in charge of communicating with overseas customers. However, due to the lack of enthusiastic training programs and the repetitive nature of the work, the interns became dissatisfied, and rather than complaining about the situation, I wanted to help find a solution. So, I voluntarily wrote a daily work log, identified areas for improvement in the training program, and made suggestions for future interns. I also presented the contents of my four weeks of work under the title “Current Status and Future Direction of the Intern Training System.” As a result of my enthusiastic work as an intern, I was hired for the next vacation period and was able to realize my ideas. My work logs and presentations have become a regular part of the planning materials used by the Human Resources Development Department.
I would like to once again demonstrate my ability to see the world beyond the boundaries of Korea and my passion for working for the benefit of the company. I am confident that I can demonstrate my exceptional talent in sales management in the Japanese market, particularly in relation to Hitachi Cable, with which your company has a technical partnership. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

 

 

Space Business Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I think I can describe myself in one sentence: “A master of change and adaptation.” I have a positive and proactive personality, and I am able to demonstrate a high level of concentration and insight in my work. Influenced by my father, who was a civil servant, I moved frequently as a child and experienced many changes in my environment, which has given me a high level of adaptability in accepting organizational cultures and values. These characteristics stem from my sincerity and tendency to keep moving forward. I have been able to achieve results and grow because I actively seek out things to do and strive to grow steadily in those areas.
As a child, I was particularly fond of science fiction. I grew up with vague dreams about space, and in order to realize those dreams, I majored in electrical engineering and tried to get closer to my dreams about space little by little. In particular, after majoring in electrical engineering and studying subjects that suited my aptitude, I decided to apply for your company because I thought that my aptitude and abilities would be suitable for the space division of your aerospace hardware manufacturing company. There may be many people with the same major as me, but I believe that my dreams and aspirations since childhood are my unique competitive advantage. I believe that people with dreams and goals grow at a different pace, and I am confident that I can become a talented employee who can represent your company.
I would like to grow as a space business expert at your company. In particular, I would like to gain all the knowledge about manufacturing, design, and development in the space industry in Korea, acquire expertise in these areas, and establish myself as a leader at your company. Upon joining the company, I will always study and improve myself to become a person with specialized knowledge in my field. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

 

 

Overseas Sales Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I really like people. I enjoy interacting and communicating with many people, sharing stories, and working together toward the same goal. That is why I can say that I have a proactive personality and good social skills. This is also reflected in my proactive leadership based on my interest in people, which enables me to demonstrate my abilities in leading an organization. In addition to my social skills, another unique strength is my ability to focus on my work. I am highly dedicated to my work, which allows me to perform tasks quickly. I believe that my positive and proactive personality, communication skills, leadership, and work performance will give me a competitive edge at your company.
I was able to confirm these strengths once again while working in marketing and external relations. While working as a college student marketing assistant for an ice cream brand, I was able to gain direct and indirect experience in sales through various events and activities. Through this process, I was able to reaffirm my communication skills in building rapport with a wide range of customers, and I discovered a deep talent for attracting customers with my lively ideas.
With my exceptionally challenging personality, I believe that sales is the best career fit for me. In addition, through my school life and external activities, I have become confident in my aptitude for sales. I am confident that I am the perfect fit for your company’s ideal candidate: someone who pursues innovation, actively seeks change, is loyal to the company, and serves society. If I am hired by your company, I will strive to become a leader who will lead your company to global success based on my experience and competitiveness. Thank you very much.
Best regards.

 

 

Sales Self-Introduction

Hello.
My name is ○○, and I am applying for a sales position at ○○ Company.
Since I was a child, I have been a restless person who could not sit still for a moment, and I have always found great joy in meeting and interacting with people from all over the world and building relationships with them.
I was told that it is important to sit still and concentrate on my work, but I have a personality that loves talking to people, building relationships, getting to know each other, and understanding each other, so I was determined to meet many people and strengthen my connections with them.
As a result, the first job I sought after entering the workforce was in the service industry, where I became accustomed to meeting and interacting with countless people from a wide variety of backgrounds, responding to their needs, and quickly adapting my approach to suit each individual, much like a chameleon.
Among these, I was particularly attracted to the role of sales, where I could actively introduce products and services to people and provide them with optimized solutions. I became very interested in sales, where I could make full use of the interpersonal skills and communication skills I had acquired, and play an even more active role.
I am confident that this combination of my aptitude and interest will create a synergy that will enable me to achieve results that are better than anyone else’s, and I hope that my innate qualities will blossom even more at your company. Thank you very much.

 

 

Self-introduction letter for overseas trade

Hello, my name is ○○○.
As a child, I was very ambitious and actively pursued anything that interested me. With my lively and proactive personality, I was active in my class and student council. I was even more active in my studies, but due to my family circumstances, I was unable to take private lessons or attend cram school, so I focused on my classes and studied even harder with determination. I believe that this environment helped me develop my sincerity and perseverance. My decision to major in Vietnamese in college was also the result of my desire to learn something new and my deep consideration. I was keeping an eye on the rapidly growing Asian market, and I predicted that learning Vietnamese would give me a competitive edge. In a way, this whole process was a struggle against my difficult circumstances, and it was very mentally challenging at the time, but now I believe that it was my efforts and sincerity that enabled me to become so competitive.
I was able to learn a sense of responsibility at work while attending university and working as a scholarship assistant in charge of administrative tasks. I also gained the trust of my classmates and professors while serving as a department officer. I believe that my flexible interpersonal skills and work skills will be useful in your company. During my language training, I reflected on my competitive and growth-oriented lifestyle and reconsidered my future. I decided to set new goals in life, choose what I am good at, and live a more relaxed life. After my language training, I became more active in social activities and sought employment in a field where I could develop my skills.
I have a proactive spirit, language skills that will help me pioneer the Asian market, a sense of responsibility, and flexible interpersonal skills. I will continue to develop myself and engage in social activities to steadily build my competitiveness, and further develop my abilities to become a talented person who can lead the future of your company. Thank you very much.

 

 

Self-introduction letter for marketing/public relations

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I am a determined person who has experienced many failures but still has many challenges ahead of me, so I never give up. I am a challenging person who likes to start things first. That’s why I try things that others find difficult to start, and even if the process is not going well, I never regret my decisions or look back until I reach the end. I have the perseverance to grit my teeth and overcome challenges with the mindset that “it’s not over until it’s over.”
I believe that customer service begins with treating every encounter as if it were the first and last. This is what I learned during my final year of nursing school when I was doing my internship at a hospital. I was assigned to a ward with many elderly patients, and when I went on rounds or checked their temperatures in the early morning, I saw many of them already awake. They were living each day as if it were their last. That is why I did my best to help them. The same applies to dealing with people who are not patients. Even if I only meet someone once, the memory will remain with me for a long time, so I always try to build trust with each person I meet.
I am applying for the public relations position at your nursing care facility. I graduated from a nursing program that meets your requirements and have about three years of experience, including practical training. Above all, promoting products with special characteristics such as hygiene, environment, women, and children requires a different strategy from general products. I have the ability to develop such a promotion strategy. Of course, even if I am not assigned to the position I desire, I will do my best in any role to help you achieve your ultimate goal of becoming a brand marketing expert.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Store Sales Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I have a cheerful and positive personality. I laugh a lot and try not to lose my smile even in difficult situations, which makes me flexible in organizational culture. My interpersonal skills are also one of my strengths. I have built up a large network of contacts through communicating and interacting with people from various fields. In addition, I am proactive in self-development and have a strong desire for growth and achievement, so I do not hesitate to solve problems or take on new challenges. Based on these strengths, I am confident that I can grow into a talented employee who is well-suited for the job if I work hard.
I majored in business administration and became interested in marketing and distribution, which led me to dream of growing in the international community. To enhance my competitiveness, I took language courses to improve my language skills and obtained a certificate in Japanese as a second language. In addition, through club activities, I have developed communication skills with people from various cultures by actively building relationships with foreign friends. In particular, I was able to meet many people by working as an interpreter at marketing events based on my language skills. Through interpreting at events and participating in marketing events, I gained indirect experience in sales, which I believe will be helpful in your store sales.
I see competitiveness and vision in the store sales position, and I am eager to grow as a distribution expert and leader in the distribution industry. In particular, I believe that I have the basic assets necessary for sales, as I am skilled at communicating with many people and winning their favor. With my proactive personality, pleasant interpersonal skills, and expertise based on my major, I will become a talented employee who will boost your company’s store sales performance. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

 

 

Medical Industry Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○, and I am 24 years old.
Since I was a child, I have been in and out of the hospital due to poor health, but thanks to the care of my doctors, nurses, and all the hospital staff, I was able to regain my health and build a future for myself.
Spending a lot of time in the hospital during a sensitive and vulnerable time in my life, I realized how amazing it was to see the hard work and dedication of those who cared for sick people every day. I dreamed of doing my part, however small, to help children in the same situation as me become healthier.
Some may think that passion and motivation alone are not enough to achieve such a goal, but I believed that in order to fulfill my dream, I had to acquire the necessary skills, so I worked hard to become the best nurse I could be.
Of course, it has not always been smooth sailing. I have had many twists and turns, trials, and tribulations along the way, but the warm kindness of all the hospital staff who took such good care of me when I was a child has always remained in my heart.
Now that I have been given the opportunity to help people who are weak and sick, I am standing here with the determination to enthusiastically show my company the results of my efforts.
I sincerely hope that I will be able to build a future with your company. Thank you very much.

 

 

Medical/Nurse Self-Introduction Letter

Hello, my name is ○○○, and I am applying for a position in nursing.
My parents always taught me that being born healthy and without any problems is a great blessing, and that I should use my abilities and talents to help others.
I deeply understand that the most ideal path for someone who has been blessed with so much is to help those who are less fortunate and build a society together, and that this is the driving force that keeps our world running smoothly.
Since childhood, I have been very familiar with volunteer work and helping people in disadvantaged situations, so I dreamed of having a “calling” that would allow me to devote myself to others in my future career.
I hoped that my steady efforts and activities would accumulate and enable me to help people live more comfortably, rather than simply helping them and feeling satisfied with myself.
I sincerely hope that my dreams and hopes will gain momentum at your company and extend into a bright future. Thank you very much.

 

 

Planning (Audio Equipment) Self-Introduction

Hello, my name is ○○○.
I am very ambitious and tend to be strict with myself, so I like to make systematic plans and achieve my goals. When I was a student, I would set goals for each semester and work hard to achieve them. In the process, challenges and innovation became the driving force behind my goals, and I believe that this allowed me to take on difficult tasks without fear. Therefore, my motto in life is “Don’t complain before you try,” and I try not to be afraid of new challenges, believing that even difficult tasks may not be so difficult in hindsight.
While majoring in business administration, I was also actively involved in club activities. I have been interested in music since high school, when I started playing the guitar, and I became more involved in music through my club activities. Through my club activities, I became interested in acoustics and studied it on my own. When I was looking for a job, I decided to look for a career that would allow me to combine business and music, which led me to apply to your company. I believe that your company is growing into an international player in the media market as a specialist in industrial audio equipment. That is why I decided to apply, as I believe I can work with great pride.
I have spent a long time developing my language skills so that I can respond to the rapidly growing era of globalization, and I am currently studying Japanese and Chinese to build my competitiveness in the Asian market. In addition, I was able to study acoustics indirectly and experience organizational life while working part-time at an audio equipment rental company during my vacation. Based on these experiences, I believe that I will be able to quickly adapt to your company and produce results. I look forward to working with you.
Thank you very much.
