In this blog post, we will introduce how to incorporate a friendly attitude and cheerful image suitable for a sales position into your self-introduction letter, going beyond a simple description of your personality and focusing on practical experience and examples.

 

Growth and school life

My parents have both worked since I was young. However, this did not mean that we did not communicate as a family. My father is a typical man from Gyeongsang Province, but rather than expressing himself in small ways, he is very supportive, and I grew up in a harmonious family, frequently discussing my concerns with my mother, who is like a friend to me.
In particular, my mother helped me gain various experiences and actively supported me in whatever I wanted to do. I am doing my best every day to become a confident and proud daughter who will always make my parents, who have always given me their love, understanding, and encouragement, proud.
Through my school life and various part-time jobs, I have grown much more than I was in the past, and I have gained a little bit of social experience, which has made me feel rewarded and happy. In particular, when I was a sophomore, I served as the head of the women’s department in my department and led the female students for a year. That experience gave me the opportunity to change and grow into a more confident person.
My various part-time job experiences have served as a foundation for my first steps into society. My experiences volunteering at a nursery and in rural areas have changed my perspective on social life and interacting with people, allowing me to mature beyond my current self.

 

Strengths and weaknesses

I am positive, patient, and calm. Even in urgent situations, I don’t panic and think carefully before acting. I always listen to the other person first and consider their perspective before speaking, which is something I value when meeting new people. I believe that there is nothing more important than interpersonal relationships, so I think it is important to cherish every connection, no matter how small. Another one of my strengths is my ability to get along well with others and fulfill my responsibilities. My ability to listen carefully to others and understand their feelings is also one of my strengths.
Being generous is a strength, but it can also be a weakness. Sometimes I fail to notice other people’s difficult situations, which can cause me to suffer losses. However, I am well aware of this trait, so I always try to come up with reasonable solutions before taking action.

 

Reasons for applying and goals after joining the company

Whenever I saw an advertisement for ○○ Outlet or passed by the store, I often thought, “I want to work there.” I was impressed by ○○ Outlet, which I believed to be the best distribution company with the best products and friendly service. Now, I want to envision my future at ○○ Outlet, rather than just admiring it from afar.
First, Image – I will become the face of ○○ Outlet. I will always be friendly and cheerful, and I will enhance the image of ○○ Outlet by becoming an employee who is full of humanity and warmth.
Second, Behavior – I will lead by example. I once saw a high school principal welcoming students to school by sweeping the school grounds with a broom. I will also set a motivational example for customers and colleagues as an employee who takes the initiative and practices what I preach.
Third, I will treat everyone with kindness and consistency. I will provide customers with more useful and necessary information so that they will want to visit ○○ Outlet again, and I will treat them like family by understanding their interests.

 

Career

During my college years, I met many people through various part-time jobs, and above all, I was able to develop the ability and sense to adapt well to different environments because I worked in different types of jobs. As a result, I have become very sociable with my unique interpersonal skills. I took a year off from college and joined a store directly operated by XX, where I worked as a Level 5 employee for XX months and was selected as the friendliest employee. After graduating from university, I worked at a department store. It was a great opportunity to learn about the work and workflow of a distribution company and gain a lot of experience in customer service. I was also able to improve my office skills through tasks such as receiving and shipping products and data entry.
