In this blog post, we will introduce ways to convey your sincere desire to join a bank in your self-introduction letter, going beyond simply expressing your interest in the job.
Family
“Growing up in a stable family, bright and healthy”
My father is a civil servant. He works in tax law, so he is very meticulous and sincere. He was also meticulous in running our household outside of work. He always checked our allowance records, and although he didn’t scold us for not doing our homework, we had to write down our allowance records. If we forgot to do so, we would get scolded, so my siblings and I got into the habit of writing down our allowance records, and now we do so even though our father doesn’t check them anymore. By writing down my expenses, I naturally became aware of where I was spending the most money, and I decided to stop wasting money, which helped me manage my finances. Thanks to this, even though my allowance wasn’t much, I was able to save up and pay for my tuition, and I was even able to send my parents, who had struggled financially, on a trip abroad. My mother is always cheerful and keeps our family smiling. When I see my mother smiling, I feel happy too. I respect my father and am very close to my mother, who is like a friend to me. I have a younger brother who is one year younger than me. If you think we fight a lot because we are only one year apart, I would like to say that you are completely wrong. My brother and I are inseparable. Even though we are siblings, we understand each other very well and consider each other’s feelings. My brother is also studying finance, so we study together and support each other. I grew up in a stable family, bright and healthy, and I am working hard to become a bank teller, which I have wanted to be since I was a child, with the support of my family.
Interpersonal relationships
“Me among my friends, me among other people”
Among my friends, I am very responsible and take good care of others. That is why people around me often call me “older sister.” They also call me “the queen of older sisters.” Once I become close to someone, I tend to notice when they are unhappy or struggling, so I feel anxious to help them if they are in trouble. So I always try to help and take care of them, and I especially try to include people who can’t fit in with the group. I don’t like to leave people alone. Among my friends, I think I’m probably like an older sister who likes to take care of others. When I first meet people, I’m a little shy, but once I get to know them, I become very caring.
I am a charming person among people. In fact, I don’t act cute or charming when I’m with my friends. However, when I meet people for the first time, especially when I’m at work, I am the type of person who acts cute and actively approaches people in order to quickly become friends and learn quickly because I have to work. That’s why most of the older women I meet in society call me a charmer. I adapt well to relationships with women in particular, and I accept their culture easily, so I quickly become familiar with the culture, make friends, and adapt.
Strengths and weaknesses of my personality and life philosophy
“Always reflect on yourself!”
The strength of my personality is that I reflect on my actions. I always look back on my work and reflect on what I did well and what I could have done better, and what I need to do differently tomorrow. That’s why I think I’m a slow starter, but I adapt quickly to my work and learn fast. My weakness is that I tend to blame myself because I reflect on my actions so often. Also, I tend to be a perfectionist, so I get stressed when my work is not perfect. I think these are both my strengths and weaknesses, so I try to be careful not to let my strengths become weaknesses.
My motto in life is “Live a life of reflection.” I often reflect on myself, especially in terms of my personality. When I first started, I was enthusiastic, but later I wondered if I had lost my enthusiasm. When I first started working, I was friendly to everyone, but later I became tired and didn’t greet people properly. I also wondered if I had become too comfortable in my relationships and acted selfishly, and if I was properly checking in with the people who are important to me. I try to live a life of reflection and improve myself.
Career goals and reasons for applying
“Think of them as your parents”
I believe that all customers are important. In the case of banks, communication with large companies and major shareholders is important, but ultimately, it is not them but ordinary citizens and the general public who shape the image of a bank. Therefore, I believe that my face when I greet them at the bank counter is the most important thing, and that my smile will remain in their memories. That is why I intend to serve everyone as if they were my parents. Even if elderly customers are unfamiliar with our services and seem confused, I will treat them with the utmost respect, thinking of them as my parents. I will always put myself in the customer’s shoes and think carefully about what I may be overlooking. In addition, I will always treat children kindly and remember that Busan Bank is the place that allows me to do the work I love and support my life, so I will always work with kindness and sincerity. I will always serve all customers as if they were my parents. In addition, I will strive to become a trustworthy person by cultivating a meticulous attitude that does not tolerate even a single mistake.
Efforts to join the bank and personal strengths
“I love Busan, and I love myself.”
I was born and raised in Busan. Although I went to college in Seoul, I never forgot the atmosphere of Busan. The sea breeze and the unique passion of the people of Busan. And although they speak bluntly, they always show affection for others. I loved those characteristics. That is why I continued to grow my love for Busan and Busan Bank. I participated in various contests and essay contests held in Busan and won awards. When I didn’t win, I created a blog to promote the contests and share news about Busan. Whenever I heard news about Busan Bank making donations or reorganizing its branches, my heart would pound, and I would clip the articles and save them. I always stopped by the bank whenever I went to Busan because I thought of it as my workplace. I only had eyes for Busan Bank and secretly nurtured my love for the bank. You may say I am being overly enthusiastic, but I am a girl from Busan who loves Busan Bank and Busan. I will put this love into my work and always be a happy employee.
In addition, while working at the bank, I tried to love myself. I may not be considered beautiful in Busan, where there are many beautiful women, but I tried not to think about that and instead tried to be kinder and smile more. I will be confident and show you my bright smile. Thank you very much.
