In this blog post, we will introduce ways to naturally express a warm and thoughtful personality suitable for a human resources team position in your self-introduction letter, along with specific examples.
Growth
As the youngest child born late in my parents’ marriage, I grew up receiving all of my family’s love. Growing up as the youngest of three brothers and two sisters, I received an abundance of love, which I believe had a significant impact on my development into a person who knows how to love others. This is because people who are loved know how to love others. As the youngest of five siblings, I grew up with both masculine and feminine traits, which allowed me to form friendships and expand my network without being bound by gender stereotypes. I believe this has been a great help in managing people. With five siblings, there were always many things happening, big and small, and our house was always bustling with activity.
I think I inherited my mother’s cheerfulness the most. My mother has a cheerful and lively personality and had many gatherings with her neighbors. She has been volunteering for ten years, preparing side dishes for elderly people who live alone. During the winter kimchi-making season, she actively participates in making kimchi and sharing it with her neighbors. Influenced by my mother’s cheerful and caring nature, I have had many opportunities to participate in volunteer activities, and I believe that this has helped me grow into a warm-hearted person. At my mother’s suggestion, my whole family started volunteering a few years ago. My parents are grateful for everything and never overlook even the smallest things. Growing up in such a family environment, I have also grown into a positive person who brightens up the atmosphere around me. Looking back on my life so far, I think that the best thing I have done is to strengthen my relationships with people through positive thinking. I have been able to expand my network by reaching out to people I have met to maintain our relationships, and I believe that there is nothing more important in life than building relationships with people. This is because it is not something that can be achieved overnight. Based on this belief, I will work hard to achieve good results in my work at your company.
School days
I have experience participating in the “○○○○○” competition. It is a competition for students interested in international social issues, and I was able to broaden my thinking and realize the importance of teamwork through conversations with my friends who participated. During the week-long competition, teams were formed on the first day, and I was not very happy with my team. First, we had two fewer members than the other teams, and all of my teammates were younger than me. After being selected as the leader, I decided that I had to overcome our disadvantage, so I put all my energy into preparing for the presentation with my younger teammates. During the midterm presentation, we were evaluated as being no different from the other teams. With half of the preparation already done, it was a difficult decision to start over from scratch, but I convinced my teammates. I wanted to do well since we had already started. I felt that my attitude as a leader was not accepting enough of my teammates’ ideas. I realized that my tendency to prioritize my own opinions because I was younger resulted in ideas that were no different from those of other teams, so I focused on gathering ideas from my teammates. Instead of unilaterally assigning tasks to each team member and making them responsible, I tried to listen to everyone’s ideas and accept them. The progress was slow, but many new ideas emerged. In the end, our team received the highest evaluation in the competition. We were evaluated as having easily solved the problem based on fresh ideas. This experience made me deeply realize the importance of teamwork and gave me an opportunity to rethink what role I should play as a leader to achieve such teamwork. I will actively contribute to creating an atmosphere where everyone can work toward a single goal with leadership that brings together the strengths of all.
Strengths and weaknesses
People often tell me that I am sociable and likable. I think this personality trait comes largely from my mother. She is always cheerful and pleasant, and she is always surrounded by people. This personality trait has allowed me to form many friendships, and I consider these relationships to be my greatest asset in life. I strive to maintain relationships with people I have formed bonds with in any way I can. I keep in touch with people I meet through external competitions and club activities, even online, and I am the one who reaches out to them first. I enjoy meeting new people, and I believe that by actively reaching out to others, I can maintain good relationships with them. Thanks to this personality, I have never had any conflicts with those around me. I have always been able to maintain good relationships and accept everyone’s opinions by taking a relativistic stance.
My calm and cautious personality is another strength. Although I am sociable, I am calm and cautious when it comes to work. I strive to keep my personal life separate from my work so that my emotions do not interfere with my work. This is because I believe that the moment the line between work and personal life is blurred, the relationship will be ruined. Sometimes people tell me that they are disappointed in me for this, but I have been able to resolve their disappointment by explaining that this attitude allows me to maintain long-lasting relationships.
I strive to be the best in both my work and personal relationships. With this attitude, I am confident that I will be able to achieve excellent results in your company’s human resources department.
Career history (or experience that demonstrates your work abilities)
I worked in the general affairs team at XX Group. The general affairs team is involved in all aspects of management. This is because it provides support necessary for corporate management through close cooperation with each department. I was in charge of human resources management within the general affairs team, and through my work of assigning personnel to each department and hiring new employees, I realized that personality is as important as ability. This is because I learned that ability does not guarantee personality. Even if you are highly capable, you cannot demonstrate your abilities if you do not get along with your colleagues. Realizing this, I helped new employees adapt to their work even after they were hired. Everyone goes through an adjustment period when they start a new job, and I wanted to help them adapt more quickly so that they could blend in with the atmosphere of their department. I believe that cooperation among employees is essential for the growth of a company. With this in mind, I will do my best in your company’s human resources department.
Reason for applying and aspirations
I believe that the ability of employees to demonstrate their abilities is important in leading a company. In addition, I believe it is important to achieve goals through cooperation with a sense of ownership by equating the growth of the company with one’s own growth. I believe that it is an important mission of the human resources department to help the company and its employees work together with one heart and one mind. As your company is rapidly growing to become a leading company in Korea, I believe that it is important to manage human resources accordingly.
I would like to contribute to fostering cooperation among employees by thoroughly understanding your company’s business and management goals. If given the opportunity to work at your company, I will repay you with outstanding performance through continuous effort and skill development. I am confident in my interpersonal skills. After joining the company, I will actively participate in internal programs to learn about the company’s overall operations. I will also strive to achieve organic cooperation between departments. I would like to emphasize that I have not chosen your company as a means to make a quick profit. I sincerely hope that the ○○ Group and I will have a long and prosperous future together.
